Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club
About
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.

Course with character
After reading other reviews about tight and sloping fairways and many hazards, I played the strategy card for course management. I hit mostly 3 woods off the tee and used my GolfNow GPS to navigate to the landing zones and had a very good round. Some of the fairways have a links feel with mounds, and like the other reviews stated, shots will run off into the water or woods. That being said, it will definitely slow play when so many players are searching for balls. From tee to green this course offers a challenge to every level of player and is worth a visit.
Rough shape
The course actually has some well designed and interesting holes. Unfortunately it also has several holes with blind tee shots and ponds lurking where you can’t see. I’m sure it was a nice course at some point in the past, but is now in poor condition tee to green. The greens were inconsistent and have a lot of poa and weeds. There is very little grass on the fairways, and no room for error since none of the vegetation on the sides of the fairways has been trimmed back for quite some time. These things make the course play even more difficult which only leads to a more negative view of the course.
I can’t imagine that I will ever go back to play there due to the conditions.
Unforgiving
You really need to be a precision player to enjoy this course. Unless you truly understand the course, you never know where your ball will end up.
This course needs attention.
The course was in rough shape. Very dry in areas & the greens were in bad shape. In our experience of playing different courses. The price was to high for the shape the course was in.
The employees were very friendly and professional.
Rather play back 9!twice
Great staff. Signage could be better for us first time players. First 9 really needs work. Tee boxes are non really bad on first 9 holes.
Course review
First time playing Royal Saint Augustine. I thought the course layout was challenging one. I like the uniqueness of the course layout.. The front nine holes need some repair on each hole. The back nine is in better shape. The greens were either slow or fast. It was tough to judge how to put on each green. Hopefully once the grass starts to fill in and grow, . The course will be in better shape.
Course has been neglected
Brown-dead spots on fairways and greens.
By design, very narrow fairways along with no rough that could hold just slightly errant tee shots.
Very Tight Course
This course was tough. I would consider myself an average golfer at best but this course made me look even worse. Almost every hole has blind water on one or both sides of the fairway. The fairways are some of the most narrow I have ever played on. If you are a member you know where to attempt to land your ball, if it’s your first time…good luck.
I lost balls that I hit great and thought they would be safe, turns out they would find their way into water that comes into the fairway making it even tighter. When I did make it to the greens they were extremely slow. Save your money and go somewhere else.
Poor front nine
First time playing here. Probably my last. The front nine greens were in very poor shape. Back nine not as bad but very slow. Lots of courses have struggled down here but you could tell that this course is not being cared for. Areas of erosion is just one thing. The sand traps were all terrible. Little sand and looked like they hadn't been raked in weeks. Lots of weeds in fairways. And some very unfair holes. Can't recommend this one. Especially not for $56.
Speed of play
Course was in okay condition speeding of play was not good. Always have just one bartender and she is slow
