Solid golf course

Royal is my home course & has been for over 20 years. It's 27 holes with the newest 9 holes being much tougher especially if the wind is up. The 1st photo is the tee box of #19 but the other two are from another golf course. Grand Ledge Country Club I believe. Either way, Royal is a fine golf course with plenty of stuff for the family to do if they don't golf.

Blah

Staff not friendly. Price is crazy high for the area and competing courses. The new 9 is the only decent holes but it starts at 7 and ends at 15 so you have to play 18 to get the decent 9 with bland holes to start and finish.

Great course

Very good course from the blue tees. Walked and enjoyed the pace. Bring your own water bottle as not all of the thermos stops had paper cups!

Don’t adhere to good pairing policies

Booked on golf now. Only 1 spot avail. Other 3 had been purchased. When I arrived I was told I would have to wait because the 3some ended up bringing a 4th. I had to wait 1 1/2 hours before I was finally paired with a 2some. They were booked with all 4somes . They should have honored my purchased time and told the extra person sorry. Really poor experience.

Great Course

This course was a lot of fun to play. There was a mixture of sand and water traps to add difficulty without being overwhelming. I would definitely be going back in the future.

Great staff, nice course

We played Royal Scot for the first time in 2 years and found in great condition. The staff was terrific and it made the round start out on a positive note.

Good test, in very good condition

This course is a very good test as the length from the white tees is above average. Greens are always in good shape as is the rest of the course The course does get a lot of play thus can be slow..

Terrible customer service

When my buddy and his friend checked in the guys at the front desk had attitudes with them. Then they told us to play the wrong holes(there's 27). We waited over 20 minutes in the snack shop for 2 hot dogs. A lady checked my cart and seen I had brought my own beer so she confiscated it and was threatening to call the cops on me and told me I had to leave the course. All in all it was an awful experience. I honestly can not believe how awful the staff treats their guests. I heard it was bad but experiencing it first hand is quite dumbfounding.

Good Value for the Money

The course is pretty wide open and makes for a relaxing round of golf. It's a great value and the staff was personable.
