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.

My first round in Florida ... never going back to PA :P Photo submitted by Eric3413 on 08/06/2013
Great value
Course was in good shape. Tight fairways and some holes are very challenging. Great value, well worth my money.
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
Awful course conditions
No ranger or cart person. Pace of play was horrific. Front nine was probably the worst course conditions I’ve ever played on. Sprinklers soaked one of the greens and were still on while attempting to play. Cart path was falling apart. Green’s were atrocious throughout the course. Charging anyone more than about $15 is criminal.
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.
Stay away!!!
Course is in rough shape. Tee boxes are weeds and the green are dirt. Not a very good golf course to play around here.
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.
Good fun.
Will play again. Course is in good condition and the staff are awesome!
