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.

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!

Fast, Fun Course

Quick, fun track — perfect for a fast round. Wrapped up in about an hour. Course is in solid shape, especially for the time of year. Friendly staff and great value.

Great Little 9 hole

Great 9 hole course with 3 challenging long Par 4 holes to keep outta water and some great short Par 3s to keep your wedges dialed in. Plays pretty quick, if there’s nobody around it’s easy to knock out a round in 60 minutes!

Very impressed with one caveat

My wife and I played the course for the very first time. She is just getting back into the game so seemed like a good start. We were very impressed with the staff, the routing of the holes and the playability of the course. There is a good amount of local flavor that makes the course interesting. I would have given 5 stars across the board, but the grass on the greens was very long. Not sure if the reason was to aid in transition or something else. No matter. It didn’t affect our enjoyment of the course.

My one caveat. Disappointed to see who was the teaching pro. The course deserves better.

Home course

This place is down the street from me. It’s where I learned to play the game.. it’s a fun and easy course, perfect to learn how to play and to work on your short game. The staff is cool, Gill and the grounds crew have been working hard to make this the best course for value in the whole valley. It’s come a long way in the short time they have taken over from the old groundskeeper. Definitely recommend this place to anybody learning or an experienced golfer that needs a quick easy confidence building round and everyone in between.

Course is Good for the weekend duffer

They had just watered the course, so cart paths were muddy and grass had puddles all over the place, and their greens are in pretty rough shape. Maybe water the course in the evenings? Otherwise, it a course for those still working on their game.

First time playing this short 9 hole course. No need to use a driver here. The course was in nice shape. Easy course to walk. My playing partner and I finished in just over an hour. Nobody was in front of us. Avery nice and friendly executive course to practice with short irons. There is some water that could come into play on 2 holes.

Great experience

Great staff, super helpful and professional. Met the pro and he was great. Beautiful course and an amazing value. Get there early before your tee time and use their practice facility which includes an eighty yard practice green.
