Royal American Links Golf Club
About
Royal American Links Golf Club pays homage to the birthplace of golf, the seaside links of Scotland, an inspiration that is also reflected in the architecture of the clubhouse. The 18-hole course was created in the traditional link-style but with added features not typical of the classic design including water coming into play on nearly every hole. There are also large, deep bunkers protect the sloping greens, many of which are double-tiered. Royal American Links Golf Club's signature hole is the par-3 12th. Its green is guarded by a not only a large rock wall but also water to the front and left. There is a large bunker to the left of the green that will swallow any errant shots but players with a sharp short game will be able to manage.

Golfer Reviews
Course continues to decline
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 has really fallen off.
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.
This course has seen better days.
Following a girls high school practice round was excruciatingly slow. They were not replacing their divots, which along with other issues lent itself to dogtrack conditions. This used to be a top notch course, now it's as rough as a wilderness trail. The tee boxes were terrible, un-kept, sometimes the grass was almost as high as the rough. So disappointed, considering what the course used to be like.
Royal American
Over the years the golf course has been not very good. It is very nice to see the course conditions have improved. They have a couple problem greens but overall it is improving. Nice to see, a good layout.
Not what it once was, but not bad.
Coming back after a few rough years, but not what it once was. The fairways and greens were decent, but there are still a few patches of dead grass on the greens, and a few of the traps were untouched. Getting better, but still not what it once was... Keep working on it, and this could be a great course again!
Slightly ok
Very nice course layout but course maintenance poor.
Greens shaggy and marked up. Plenty of staff working but
not sure they know much. Nice club house for a wedding but not good for golf.
Overall condition
We've had a lot of rain in Ohio. The bunkers were really bad. I only got in two of them so that wasn't no big deal. The greens were a lot slower than normal but overall it was a great round and I understand what it takes to keep a course up and rain doesn't help
Won’t go back
I’m sure it was a great track years ago. Not anymore. Greens were possibly the worst I’ve ever played. Needs a large infusion of cash and a lot of TLC.
Royal American condition
All the bunkers were unraked not much sand in them but I didn't get in any of them. Played well shot, even par and was pretty satisfied
Not worth even $30
Ownership should be ashamed of this course, greens are trash, didn’t look like rough had been cut in weeks. I wouldn’t recommend anyone waste their time or money here
Ok but could be better with some work
I have played this course for quite a few years. It really seems to have gone down hill the past 4-5 years. It has a good layout but course conditions always seem to be an issue. Some of the greens need repaired very badly. There is also is no fresh sand in the bunkers and no rakes the day I played. With some work, it could be worth the price they charge for weekends $50-$55 and be a really nice course. I just cant justify it until the conditions improve. I will play it for less with hot deals on GolfNow like I did this time.
