Those planning events at Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth will discover a new set of options with its recently launched golf courses—part of a larger $70 million multiyear comprehensive renovation and expansion project that’s not quite over yet.

New is The Cardinal, a Ray Hearn-designed 18-hole course that replaces the previous course. “We tore it down and rebuilt it as new—golfers say you can’t even compare the two,” says Eric Djordjevic, managing director at the resort. Also new is the seven-hole, par-3 short course named The Little Cardinal, along with a 2-acre Cardinal Putting Course.

Beyond the courses is The Monarch, a still-to-be-completed new wing of Saint John’s event center featuring a huge ballroom that Djordjevic expects will be finished in mid-2025. “It will be just south of 17,000 square feet, pillar-free with 28-foot ceilings, a front-facing wall, and all the glass opens up into this beautiful courtyard,” he says. Saint John’s also recently debuted an Irish-themed pub.
