The East/West Course is more difficult because the wind is a major factor, and water hazards are in play on all but three holes.

The Valley Course is a bit milder than its sister course, but it has more undulation in the fairways than the Stadium Course.

Designer Clyde Johnston has imbued St. Johns with just enough of his own touches that it makes a noteworthy statement. St. Johns is a mix of natural minimalism in places and man-made engineering in others. When there is evidence of construction, Johnston and crew have done their shaping softly and roundly; the course blends gracefully into the surrounding environment and there are few abrupt movements except for the bulkheads that transition land and water near several of the greens.
