Royal American Links Golf Club

We had two groups and the course was in pretty good shape. Most of the bunkers were not in good shape. The pace of play was good. 4 hr round!!

This is a nice layout, harder than average public course. the one issue is the conditions weren't great. Greens had many spots that looked under repair as did fairways. Traps were very inconsistent- some great, others not so much. For what I paid I guess its OK but this layout could be so nice with some (not minor) work on the course.

Royal American is a quality, challenging track. With the ongoing effort to fill-in a majority of the bunkers, the condition of the course will be improved once that is completed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. But I can’t do a review about without expressing How useless the Golf now gift card is when it comes to usage. Despite having $40 on a gift card it covered neither the convenience fee nor the cost to play. Apparently a gift card only works when you’re making a hot deal reservation. Although that is not nearly Clearly spelled out either on the app or on the gift card itself.

The bottom line is I will play Royal American again, but I want nothing to do with using a golf now discount gift card.

Well maintained, greens and fairways were nicely kept, bunkers are being redone and I wasn’t complaining. Not a difficult course, but worth golfing at. A lot of straight holes

Good weather, good fairways & fast playing with no delays. Very enjoyable.

Flooding all over the course, bunkers under renovation. Still a good course overall, just needs time to let their improvements work

In my opinion, the price of this course should have been lower given the fact that the reservation suggested 4 players- we (2 of us) showed up to meet 3 other players at the same tee time, this caused a very rushed/anxiety provoking play experience. The course is under construction/under repair which should suggest a lower price tag for the experience provided.

Staff were very friendly.

The course is in horrible shape. There is so much water in some areas it's almost unplayable. Im not sure if they have major drainage issues or bad staff or what. (Also of note, I worked in golf course maintenance for a couple yrs so l do have a mild background of knowledge) Many greens are far more sand than grass, literally like putting on a beach with lumps of sand and bumps everywhere so absolutely no consistency from one to the next. Numerous bunkers are essentially water hazards as they are almost calf deep in water, drains in fairways without any type of grate or covering or even being marked on a few so you lose a ball absolutely in the fairway and everyone in your party just watches it disappear and can't figure out where it went until you see said drain exactly where your ball was (ask me how | know) and all this is in the middle of a huge drought. The course would and could be nice, and may be with work, but l'd def go elsewhere right now.

Beautiful day, course in good shape, greens consistent, but play was very slow.

The course has not been taken care of as was its past

Used to play RA all the time 20 years ago when it was in good shape but every time I go back the course maintenance and conditions get worse. I probably fixed 15 ball marks on every green and had to move 1/2 of my putts so I wasn’t putting over bald spots. This goes for tee boxes, fairways and greens. For the rate, much better off going elsewhere.

This course continues to go downhill. Outside of a great staff, there isn’t much to get excited about. Played a round in a little over 4.5 hours. Pace of play never improved. Tee boxes are shot. 9th and 18 greens are incredibly well manicured, but that’s it. Would not recommend.
