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.

Royal St Augustine Thursday Afternoon Tee Times

It would have been very helpful to have known in advance that the course has a standing Thursday afternoon scramble which takes precedence over all other tee times. I was unable to play the front 9 due to this. I would have made a reservation elsewhere had I known this was the case.

Some things need so much attention

This course is very tight, sloped fairways that repeatedly feed to water or tree lines. The short fairways are extremely hard and let the ball run but usually towards troublesome areas. The areas that have no grass are so prevalent it puts this course into the category of “ cow pasture “ for the money very overpriced track. So many better options in the area and cheaper. Save the money and keep looking, Imho

On “par” with expectations

Pleasantly surprised. Google reviews were mixed but my personal experience was positive. The condition and layout of the course was very nice. The greens were a little shaggy but they played pretty true. I found the value to be good and will go back to play again.

Nice little vacation spot

Hello,

This is the third golf course I’ve been to. Its a nice mid sized course with beautiful trees and scenery. The fairway and greens are in pretty good shape. The hills in the fairway added a bit of challenge to the experience. The starter staff there was wonderful!

Went here on vacation. Would come again if i lived in the area.

Yikes!

Where to begin. Guy in the pro shop was nice. Course however has been ignored and needs a lot of attention. Driving range was all sand. Tee boxes for the most part were okay. Fairways were overgrown. Greens were decent except for a couple that have been infested.

Decent course, rough shape, above and beyond service.

Course was pretty rough, greens had quite a few weeds, fairways and Tee boxes needed water. Workers there were super friendly, Mike the marshall was awesome, I would go back just to talk with him. Not much of a golf selection for public courses in St. Augustine area.

Great Layout, Horrible condition

Course track was really challenging but the condition was horrible. T boxes were mostly a little grass and sand. Fairways were not grassy at all. This course if the conditions were good it would be an awesome track to play. Very challenging. Many dog legs. Could be a real fun course to play. Staff was nice but pack your muscles to load your own bag and find someone to tell you where #1 tee box is. Met some really nice people after the play at the bar.
