McKinley Development acquired the Sanctuary, formally known as the Bob-O-Link North Course, in 2001. McKinley Development Co., a partnership of DeHoff Development Co. and Lemmon Development, said the 18-hole public golf course was never profitable The Bob-O-Link South Course was purchased a few years later and developed into a mixed-use residential development for single-family homes, villa homes and multifamily units.

Lemmon created the name change to The Sanctuary when the north course was reconfigured in 2003 and 2004. The name alludes to a back-to-nature feel of wetlands on the back nine.
