GOLF | Following an $8 million renovation project, the St. Johns County Golf Club has scheduled its re-opening.
Erik Larsen.The project to renovate the municipal course has taken seven years since a feasibility study by the St. Johns County commission. The course has been closed since last year. The course opened in 1989 as a 27-hole facility.
The county will use the excess 80 acres to build new fire and sheriff’s stations and establish to-be-determined amenities. “The St. Johns Golf Club is a terrific example of publicly owned, accessible golf and interesting architectural work coming together to make the players’ experience much more fun,” Larsen said in a statement.
Among the changes was to bring the first and 18th holes and practice facilities closer to the clubhouse for more social interaction. Larsen designed a new routing for the course that includes wider fairways, Biarritz, Punchbowl and Redan green designs and square, low-maintenance “coffin” bunkers. The greens are TifEagle bermudagrass, the fairways TifTuf bermudagrass and the bunker faces are Zoysia grass. The par will be 71 and the length will range from 4,803 from the forward tees and 7,009 from the tips.
