Sanctuary Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is it to secure a tee time at Sanctuary Golf Course, and what's the best way to book?

Sanctuary is a highly exclusive, private course, so you can't just call up for a tee time; it's typically reserved for members and their guests. Your best bet as a non-member is often through a stay-and-play package with a partner resort, which we highly recommend for a truly seamless experience. Planning well in advance is absolutely essential.

What makes Sanctuary Golf Course particularly challenging, and are there any signature holes we should look out for?

Sanctuary lives up to its name with a layout that demands precision, especially around its dramatic elevation changes and natural wetlands. The par-3 17th, with its stunning drop-shot over a canyon, is a real showstopper and will definitely test your nerve and club selection. You'll need to manage your approach shots carefully here.

When is the ideal time of year to play Sanctuary Golf Course for the best conditions and experience?

We've found late spring or early fall offers the perfect balance at Sanctuary - the weather is glorious, and the course is typically in pristine condition without the peak summer crowds. Avoid mid-summer if you can, as the heat can be intense and impact your enjoyment of the walk. The fall colors also add an extra layer of beauty.

Is playing Sanctuary Golf Course worth the premium green fee, and what can we expect for the cost?

Absolutely, Sanctuary is a splurge, but it delivers an unforgettable experience that justifies the price tag. You're paying for immaculate conditions, breathtaking scenery, and a truly exclusive round, often including a top-tier caddie service that's invaluable on this complex layout. Consider it an investment in a bucket-list golf day.

Beyond the golf, what unique features or amenities does Sanctuary Golf Course offer, especially regarding its natural setting?

The course is a true wildlife sanctuary, so expect to see deer, elk, and various bird species throughout your round - it's part of the magic. The commitment to preserving the natural landscape means you're playing through a pristine environment, making it feel less like a golf course and more like an immersive nature walk with clubs. The views alone are worth the visit.
