Located in Florida’s oldest city, Royal St. Augustine Golf & Country Club offers a glimpse of the area’s lush foliage and native marshlands. The course has a visually interesting layout with elevated, sprawling greens and a variety of bunker shapes and sizes. The moguled fairways and sandy waste areas are two other distinguishing features of the course. It is a tight course with large greens and gentle undulations. The layout provides a “target-golf” experience that puts a premium on accuracy and distance control. The numerous bends in the course in combination with the blustery winds also makes proper club selection very important.

Sad

Overbooked and poorly managed! No keys to golf carts, No answers from staff and the pace of play would have been a six hour round minimum . I only played the front nine which took three hours and 10 minutes to complete and when I hit whole number 10, there were three foursomes in front of me. I decided right then and there that this place was not worth my time, and I will never be back again.

Sad to see

Played royal a few years ago. Today was first time since then. Fairways are in horrible shape, tons of weeds. Greens aren’t much better. I will say, the layout is challenging and fun. Hope they turn it around for the summer months.

Greens need work…..

Some greens were good and some really bad. It is earlier in the year so I will cut them some slack… definitely going back maybe mid summer to check it out again. The course was difficult. Lots of water. I overall liked the course, this place will definitely make you think about your shot selection.

Great layout, not in good condition

Played today and choose
this course because resent reviews had been positive on conditions. The greens are in terrible condition. The layout of course is great. Friendly staff. If you’re only looking for a bargain then play. If you want good conditions look elsewhere.
