Quick Facts

Community Overview & History

A championship golf community

St. Johns Golf & Country Club sits north of historic St. Augustine in the Bartram/210 region, built around an 18-hole championship course designed by Clyde Johnston and managed by Billy Casper Golf. The course has hosted the Korn Ferry Qualifying Tour several times, and with multiple tees from about 2,400 to 7,250 yards, it plays for families and experienced golfers alike, with visitors welcome alongside members.

Larger homes at strong value

The community is known for larger craftsman homes at a relatively lower price per foot than comparable golf communities, set among soaring pine trees with golf, wooded, marsh, and lake views. It sits in the Sampson Creek CDD, which owns the community amenities.

Homes & Layout

St. Johns Golf & Country Club is built around its course, and the home size and view define the purchase.

Larger craftsman homes

Most homes offer four to six bedrooms and up to 5,000 or 6,000 square feet, averaging around 2,857 square feet among recent listings.

Golf, marsh, and lake views

Homes back to the golf course, woods, marsh, or lakes, so the view is a defining feature and a value driver.

A golf-cart community

The community is golf-cart friendly, with the course and amenities a cart ride from most homes.

Real Estate Market

As of May 2026 there were about 12 listings averaging around $764,000, ranging from about $450,000 to just over $1.07 million, at roughly $267 per square foot. The championship course, the CDD amenities, and the A-rated schools support steady demand.

For context, Momentum tracks the wider Jacksonville metro at a 97.98 percent sold-to-list ratio and 64 days on market for our agents, against a RealMLS market average closer to 96.73 percent and 72 days, year to date. In a golf community with larger homes, pricing to the specific home and view is essential.

St. Johns Golf & Country Club draws golfers, families, and move-up buyers who want a larger home and a championship course without paying Ponte Vedra prices, in the A-rated St. Johns schools. The deep CDD amenity set and the golf-cart lifestyle make it an active, family-friendly community.

Schools

St. Johns Golf & Country Club is in the A-rated St. Johns County School District, in the Bartram/210 corridor. Confirm the current zoning for a specific address with the district, since assignments can change in fast-growing St. Johns. See the St. Johns County schools guide.

Amenities & Lifestyle

The community pairs a championship course with a deep CDD-owned amenity set.

The golf course and clubhouse

An 18-hole championship Clyde Johnston course managed by Billy Casper Golf, with The Bridge at St. Johns clubhouse restaurant and full bar, plus event space for weddings and parties.

The aquatic center

Sampson Creek CDD amenities include an aquatic center with a large pool, a child wading area, and a waterslide.

Courts and fitness

Two basketball courts, a tot lot, four tennis courts, a sport field, and a fitness center with classes round out the amenities.

HOA, CDD & Costs

St. Johns Golf & Country Club is in the Sampson Creek CDD, which owns and funds the community amenities through an assessment on the annual tax bill, in addition to the HOA. Golf is a separate membership, though the course also welcomes visitors. Confirm the current HOA dues, the CDD assessment, and the golf membership terms for a specific home in writing and model the HOA plus the CDD as one carrying cost, since the CDD raises the effective tax above the base millage.

Insurance is the other cost to confirm. Roof age matters on the established homes here, and the inland Bartram/210 location generally carries less coastal exposure than the beaches. Confirm the roof age, the flood zone, and get quotes early for any specific home.

Commute Analysis

St. Johns Golf & Country Club sits off CR-210 via Leo Maguire Parkway, just west of I-95.

The midway location between Jacksonville and St. Augustine with quick I-95 access balances both. Test your specific commute, since CR-210 and I-95 carry traffic at peak hours.

Shopping & Dining

Everyday shopping and dining sit nearby along the CR-210 corridor and toward the World Golf Village area and SR-16, with The Bridge at St. Johns clubhouse restaurant on-site. The St. Johns Town Center adds big-box and upscale options about 20 to 25 minutes north.

Pros and Cons

St. Johns Golf & Country Club vs. Comparable Communities

Hidden Things Buyers Should Know

Model the Sampson Creek CDD

The CDD owns the aquatic center and courts, but it raises the effective tax rate. Build the HOA plus CDD into one carrying cost before you commit.

Value is in the square footage

At roughly $267 a foot, the value here is space. If you want a larger home and a championship course, this competes hard against pricier neighbors.

Golf is a separate membership

The course welcomes visitors, but living here is not a membership. Confirm the golf terms if play is a priority.
