Located in the city of Mesa, the Royal Palms golf course is a nine-holer with a risk-and-reward style layout. Royal Palms offers a mix of par 3s and par 4s that is suitable for all skill levels of golfer. Although it is a short course, there are challenges to keep golfers on their toes. Two lakes form water hazards that come into play on over half of the holes. Royal Palms G.C. also has strategically placed sand bunkers throughout the entire design that can affect shots.

Watch out for flying balls!

Well, it was a great time with my friend. However, on one hand while I enjoy the laid back atmosphere here, it’s also dangerous, constant waiting to play as it’s so backed up. people are also swinging when they shouldn’t, so watch out for flying balls. Also, no alcohol is served here. Lots of homes/apartments surrounding.

Conditions were terrible. Putting on the green felt like you were in a sand trap.

The greens were covered in sand. Wouldn’t have played had I known. When the greens were good it is worth playing.

Golf

From the pictures it looks like a very well manicured and green course. Thought it would be a fun quick 9 hole course since I did not have much time to play. Absolutely the worst greens; oh wait what greens!! Sand and dirt for the greens! Tee boxes were not level or mowed with divots all over. I was trying to find a patch of grass to lay my ball on to hit and a maintenance guy asked me to put my ball back in the dirt in between the markers. I almost laughed at how funny his request was, then I realized he was serious. I will never play this course again.

Royal Palms, enjoy the friendly staff.

Great 9 hole gentleman’s course. The Greens are in rough shape but the rest is really good!

Fun to do a quick 9 or two. Cost is great too! Especially if you do a rerun

Horrible shape and poor pace of play

The greens are in terrible condition, the fairways are spotty, the rough is dirt, the cart paths are under water, and they let a 6-some out that had the course so backed up that there were often 3 groups waiting on each tee. It was hard to finish the round because I was so angry!
