Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6703 yards
Slope 118
Rating 71.3

The brilliant Terry LaGree design harmonizes with spectacular scenery to create Royal Oaks -- a unique and picturesque course. Powder sand bunkers dot undulating fairways lined by stately oaks and shimmering water. The course, part of the Audubon system, has preserved mature trees and native vegetation, making it a sanctuary for migratory birds and an unmatched setting for your game. The 6,650-yard par 72 course features four tee boxes on every hole. The front nine is characterized by rolling fairways with up to 35-foot elevation changes, lined with tall Slash Pines and Blue Jack Oaks. The back nine features an open meadow appearance with stands of stately live oaks shading some of the greens. Generous landing areas reward well-placed shots.

A well tended course with GREAT Staff!

We were treated very well by the pro shop staff, starter and ranger. Carts were clean and in exceptional condition. My loved that there were several bathrooms on the course.

Pace of play was pretty good for a Saturday morning and the course in general was in good condition.

We will definitely give it another shot!

Nice Course

Course was in good shape for the last part of January. Greens were great. Fairways were very good but a little tight. Overall a very enjoyable round.

Greens Fast

Drives must almost always be on fairways, if not you'll struggle with the challenging trees that surrounds this entire golf course. The greens were nearly impossible to judge the speeds, not much undulations but lightning fast. Had an enjoyable round.

JUST GO PLAY THERE!

Tees, fairways, traps and especially greens all in wonderful shape. Always enjoy this moderately easy tree lined layout. Get a good deal from Golf Now.

Royal Oak Experience

The course is challenging but the fairways are in poor condition. Almost no grass. Most shots are like hitting off of hard pan. The greens are fast and in very good condition, No extra amenities were open.

Consistently Great!

Have played Royal Oaks several times and have never been disappointed in the condition of the course. Today's round started out a little cool and warm up nicely. The rains held off but the winds increased as we played the last four holes. It was overall a good day, very enjoyable especially seeing the turkeys run around the course.
