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.

Over the Hill Gang Rocks

I was fortunate enough to join a group of regulars and had a great time. I even won closest to the pin. Left the money behind to help pay for their beer.

The course is in good shape The greens are true and quick enough. Fairways are coming along.

Play it and if the gang asks you to join in, don't be a fool and say no.

will play again

I gave this course an overall rating as GOOD+ The fairways are not in the best of conditions and that is only because of the winter weather, however I believe that in about 3 weeks the course should be a 5 star course. I will play it then and let you know. Play the course I'm sure you will have a good time.
