Terrible condition

This was not a very enjoyable round today. This is not the first time I have played here. We played prior and the pace of play was so bad we had to leave we made it to the third hole an hour after we teed off. This time the green and majority of the fairways were in the worst conditions I have seen. There were legit holes on the green. Many signs up saying save Royal Vista golf course. Probably should let this course die.

No drinks?

My only complaint was there was never a cart girl so no one bringing drinks around. And when I got up to the clubhouse to buy drinks, all they had was beer and water and sodas. No hard liquor and I don’t drink beer. Based on that, I don’t know if I’ll play there again.

Course is not kept up

Fairways are terrible, mud on some parts of the fairway, broken trees on fairway, cart paths have bushes covering path. It never was like this. Please hire landscaping accordingly…stop blaming things on Covid. I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone. I wish I can get a refund

Course is a gem that has not been updated or maintained

I’ve played this course a lot over the years, the characteristics for each of the nine hole courses are challenging. A few parts are very disappointing. The snack bar as big as it is, does not offer much, the course is not well-maintained, the sand traps are basically wet, sand traps that dried out, and the landscaping around the holes is not maintained at all. There were several areas on the course that either got flooded or something happened where the course is damaged and we did not recover the golf balls, the putting greens look like they were aerated recently, but never recovered. The one good thing I would say about this course, and it is very good is that the staff is super friendly.

Stay away! Awful course

Why is it named Royal Vista? Jungle weed vista is more accurate. I’ve played over 40 years and it’s #1 for the worst course. 1) portable toilets not a real restroom. Only one real restroom is in clubhouse. 2) Nothings been maintained weeds and grass are so long impossible to find your ball. We were 4 players and left the course 14th hole. The putting and fairways in bad condition. Plus one female player couldn’t use the disgusting portable toilets. We all agreed and said it felt like we were in Amazon jungle dirty and weeds. SHAME ! Range is bad and pricey.There $8 for medium is $5 small size elsewhere. We noticed only local residents go there. Not much outside visitors at all. Waste of money.

Where has the turf team gone???

I have been playing this course for over twenty years. With a thirty percent increase of business since the Diamond Bar course closed, this course should be in better shape. I counted at least 4 different grass types on the fairway. The first cut of rough was over 3 inches long. Severe thatching was all over the course. With the amount of rain we have had in SoCal they should be embarrassed of the course conditions. I don’t mind any green fees so long as the value is there. You have some time before the Diamond Bar course opens up so please get it together or let them build the houses! (East/North course played)

Getting worse

Overall, I was disappointed with my experience at Royal Vista Golf Course. The poor course conditions, slow pace of play, and unhelpful staffs made for a frustrating round of golf. I wouldn't recommend this course to anyone looking for a quality golfing experience
