Great Course

The entire course was in great shape – tee boxes, fairways, greens. At this time of year, I was surprised to be hitting shots off the fairway on good grass and not dirt. The cart path was circuitous and gives a nice tour of each hole and surroundings. The staff was very friendly and helpful as this was our first time playing here. Try it I am sure you will like it!

First time playing Royal Oaks. Great experience. Played with 3 super guys who had played here several times. Pace of play was amazing, especially for a 10am tee time! Course was in great shape. Liked the layout. I will be back.

Ranking it only GOOD

Reasons for not rating it a 5. Our threesome found the course in pretty good condition. The greens rolled quite slow. Fairways were okay. The tee boxes need work as none were found level, tilting side to side or front to back. Overall. We found the course not as challenging as we had hoped. Value for the price was good.

Lots of fun

Great weather, great friends throw in a really nice course and a great time is had by all. The course is lined with lots of mature oak trees, several of which come into play if your shot is in the wrong place. Not a lot of sand traps, but again on some holes they will dictate your club selection. Fairways had lots of grass, rough was in very playable shape. Your tee shot on 18 is over the water, but that is the only water in play on the whole course. But the greens, oh my, they were slick and in fantastic shape. If you are in the Ocala area make a trip over to Royal Oaks you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful greens

Greens and fairways in great shape for winter golf. Fairways were great to hit from. Way better than most area courses. Good value for the money. Other courses may be cheaper but not as good. We will be back !!
