Royal American Links Golf Club

nice course, nice people,medium fast greens, smooth, plays to yardage off nicely cared for tees.

Course was very busy on Sunday but pace of play was great. Had a blast and would recommend this course to anyone!

Nice course. Played 2 days after serious rain. Course very wet. Cart path only conditions.
Staff very freindly. This course has real rough. Keep it in the fairway. Would play again.

Overall the course is in good condition but not spectacular. My only concern is the greens. They are super slow which it had rained the day before but they were super slow. I'm used to greens that roll in the 12-14 range. These greens were at best a 5. The course is also on the shorter side so scoring is fairly easy.

Played this course after 24 hours of rain. Course held up pretty well, though several bunkers had standing water in them and were unplayable (you could play those that didn't). The creek that runs through the property was overflowing and swift, so that areas was damper (with reason) than the rest pf the course.

Minor quibbles: (1) Booked a twosome, but got paired up with an twosome with an earlier tee time. While i'm usually OK with this as it can lead to interesting conversations, I hadn't seen my buddy for awhile and hoped to talk with him more. (2) Get the rangers and superintendent dandelion pullers. There didn't seem to be a lot on the fairway, but my ball seemed to find all of them.

Course will likely pick up difficulty through the season as they let patches rough grow out for that inland links-style.

Played Royal plenty of times over the years. Upon arriving for an early tee time the crew was still mowing greens. I was surprised to see a rolling machine as well, this made the greens flawless. The fairways and tees were just as nice. As the course has matured the rough has filled in well. Bunkers were consistent. This course will not overwhelm you with length but with water coming into play on 13/18 holes, you better hit it where you need to.

This was my first time playing Royal American and I had a good time. Good shots are rewarded and bad shots are tough to recover from. The rough is very thick and required an extra club most times.

Royal American was in terrific condition. Pace of play was good.
Only concern was no one working in the bar / restaurant at 9:00am and no lights on in restrooms as well but overall really nice golf experience.

My brother and I played this course April 29th just before the leagues teed off at 5:15pm. We played 18 holes in 3 hours....awesome! The course was in superb shape! Staff was very accommodating! I'll definitely play here again if the course remains in the shape that it was when we played.

This is the first time I ever played this course, I'm trying to play a different course every time I go out this year and I have to say I will most likely be going back to this one and will be taking the rest of my foursome. I think they would enjoy it. I was paired up with three Asians and was a little nervous at first playing with people I did not know and plus the language barrier, but the round was allot of fun and I gained three new golfing buddies in the process. This is a must go to course for any level golfer. I scored a 87 that day. For some reason the harder and nicer the course the better I play.

The flow of this course through the nature preserves is breathtaking and the course is in a top shape regardless of the time of the year that I play.
I played this course 5 times so far and this is the first review I've given. This is the quality course you can count on over and over again.

I thought the course was a very difficult course - with some very interesting and challenging tea shot (i.e water carries, etc.)...definitely would play again...

Leaves are gone and the grass was very green. So it plays even more like a links course.

November and still in great shape. Played Royal yesterday and the conditions were quite nice. The leaves had all been cleared, the greens were in good shape. The staff was friendly, and as always the clubhiuse at Royal is top notch. For the money, Royal American is a great choice!

I did enjoy the course. Greens well kept. Staff was friendly but I only interacted with one person. Only complaint was that they took all the tee markers down in the back nine. (We think they were getting ready for a league) And some old guy kept driving around randomly playing holes. We even caught him playing 3 balls and a hole over.

But for the rate I got on the GolfNow, I would come back many times.

Played for $14.00 including cart. We were able to tee off right on our tee-time, no delays. Played in 3 hours and 10 minutes. Greens had been arreated about ten days before we played but had no trouble putting. Will play there again if weather holds out.

First time playing royal American was a great success. Staff was friendly , course beautiful , as well we paired up with good company.

The course was in great condition other than the greens, which were definitely aerated recently and there was no mention of this when booking the tee time. It took us just over 5 hours to complete the round teeing off at 7:30am on a Sunday. Really fun course with unique holes. I would recommend this course if you get a good price on golfnow.

They may as well concrete the greens and paint them green. They would play the same and save a ton of money mowing.

We had a great time for the first time there. Some challenging holes with a lot of water hazards and nice sand bunkers to play out of.
