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.

Great as usual

I have played this course four times in the last couple of months and it is consistently well maintained. The greens are very nice with a medium challenge. Golf carts are in very good condition. They have a starter at the first tee that keeps the groups in the proper order.

Had a tee time, but got moved back because some members moved into our time. Never seen this procedure before, I guess they do not understand the concept of what a tee time is. Pace of play was extremely slow and course was overpriced to start with.

Partner Jack

Was a walk on and paired with Jack. The eighty four year old was a hoot to play with. A new joke every hole. Was a nice break from the relatively slow play. We did finish within four hours and did beat the sunset. The course receives a lot of play so the fairways, although in good shape, were heavily divoted. The greens were faster than those of neighboring courses and putted true although not as pristine as other courses. A good mix of holes with some wide open and other tree lined.

A pleasant round on a nice course

It's the first time I have played the course. I enjoyed the day and found the course of moderate difficulty.

The two closing holes were interesting.

I will certainly play this course again.

Wonderful layout

The designers made every hole interesting without stooping to unfair bunkers and overly slope greens.

The greens, in fact, were superb. Straight off the tee is rewarded with reachable greens.

I plan to play here often.

Royal Oaks is the course to play

We had a friendly fourball at this very impressive layout Royal Oaks. We were made to feel very welcome, and the course was in good condition. All the holes offer different challenges to golfers of all abilities. We hope to return again soon.

Good day of golf

Course condition good. Greens slow but are coming around. In two to three weeks the greens should be a little guicker. Until then enjoy the course.

Great Day at Royal Oaks

Check in at the Pro Shop and we're on our way to the 1st tee. One foursome ahead of us on the tee box and one ahead of them.

This time of year you expect things to get a little busy as the Snowbirds come back to roost for the winter and this day was no exception. That said we finished our round in a little under 4 hours and had a good time.

The fairways and greens were in great shape and the ruff was just enough to cause you to look hard to see the ball in most cases. Typical Florida grass.

Prices with golf now were great and you really should try this course if your in the area, it's well worth the drive from where ever you live.
