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.

Decent course
Decent layout and it's in pretty good shape. I wouldn't pay full price to playhere, but it was well worth $30 on a Saturday AM through golfnow.
This course has a lot of character
Course is great, it's one of the better courses in the city but the price has jump up big time and not only don't I want to pay that much I just don't think the course is worth it.
Course was in great shape
Had to follow an outing that had gone off earlier in the day, so pace of play was slower than normal during the week, but not to the point you wanted to quit and go home. I love to play this course at least once a year.
Good greens, plenty of hazards!
This course has everything! Good greens , water on more than half of the holes and plenty of bunkers. There are holes that are easy and holes that are difficult. The par 3's are challenging and fair. I play from the back tees and my 10 year old son plays from the forward tees and we both have fun! Staff is always friendly and course is always in good shape.
Nice course
The course itself was well maintained. The greens rolled true and all but one of the tee boxes were well taken care of. The only complaint that I have is the pace of play. The front nine took us a little over a hour and a half to play. The back nine..........3 1/2!!!!!! Dont really understand how that happened but it did and like I said thats my only complaint with the course.
Royal American Links
the course was well maintained, the greens were fast and true. Plenty of challenges, like water and bunkers.
Very good course
Course was very well maintained. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Employees were very nice. Most definitely will come back again.
course was in need of watering. Fairways were very hard. Tee boxes were just plugged and in bad shape.
Would play this course again through golfnow because of the reduced cost. Would not pay full rate, at least based on this experience.
Needs a ranger, a starter, and someone who can rake traps
We went to the first tee, got in line, and waited for 2 twosomes and a threesome to go, then discovered that those groups had started on 10 and were making the turn. No one had told us they were starting on 10 that day. So, we went to 10 and played the back.
A starter would have been nice.
We played behind a threesome, a twosome, and a fivesome. Very slow. A ranger would have been nice.
The traps were in the worst shape I have ever seen for a course of this caliber. Hard packed dirt, very little sand, and full of footprints.
Some one who rakes traps would have been nice.
I discovered that we could have gotten the same rate at the course that we got on GolfNow. An unpleasant surprise
Course was in best shape i have seen it in
Greens were fast and true. Tees and fairways nice. Rough not overly high,hazards a bear as usual.
more maintenance needed
Golfers here need to fix divots on greens. Front nine played well, back nine needs a few more acres. 10-18 to narrow and to close together. Appears the mowing/trimming crew gets a few days off.
Clubhouse and bar area very nice. Good selection of equipment and accessories.
Really Nice Course
I really like this course and will definitely be playing it again. Its tough with water on most holes but very well kept.
Enjoyable course
Played in a scramble here, and really enjoyed the course. The course makes you use every club, especially since you can't hit driver on every hole or you 'll end up in the water. Greens were in good condition for a public course, and the fairways were well kept. Not the longest course, but fun none the less. Golf shop was tiny, and the dining area was a little dated.
Too slow to play
5guys played in front of us. No golf course people said anything. Too slow to play. I don't come back
Nice course for the price!
The course was well maintained. A true links course does not have trees but this does which played well. One item I didn't like was the grass near the green was very high which for me was very difficult to chip out of. Overall worth the money and the food was really good!
Great Times
Greens were in great shape for this time of the year. Cant wait ti play when conditions are little warmer. Glad to see they lowered their beer prices
Great course for the money I paid through GOLF NOW.
I thought course was in really good shape for this time of season. greens were rolling great.
Greens were in great shape
Rainy day called to check with staff on condition, "still very dry",
we were hydro planing in the fairways!!!
Cousre has come along way in condition compared to a year ago.
staff could care less about your playing experience, very disappointing in the staff's attitude.
Course in good shape but don't bring your Spouse!
The course was in good condition & the greens rolled true...the only drawback was that the course is an old school design...I was out there with my girlfriend who is actually a decent player but the ladies tee boxes in some cases were only a few yards in front of where I was hitting making it a course that was completely unfriendly to the ladies game. Guys its a course not based too much on length but more on position...Ladies I would pass and look at a course that is more playable.
