Located in Florida’s oldest city, Royal St. Augustine Golf & Country Club offers a glimpse of the area’s lush foliage and native marshlands. The course has a visually interesting layout with elevated, sprawling greens and a variety of bunker shapes and sizes. The moguled fairways and sandy waste areas are two other distinguishing features of the course. It is a tight course with large greens and gentle undulations. The layout provides a “target-golf” experience that puts a premium on accuracy and distance control. The numerous bends in the course in combination with the blustery winds also makes proper club selection very important.

Just an unbelievable golf course

I have golfed here in the past, but today was incredible. The staff, the pro shop, everybody was professional. The company that reconstructed the Golf Course did a beautiful job.. I have played many golf courses, and for the price, I will definitely be back.

18 completely renovated!

Course has been looking like it’s in great shape with the back nine being completely renovated. Will be coming out more often with this beautiful weather!

A work in progress, but still fun

They are renovating the front 9, so played the back 9 twice. Conditions are variable but still fun. I was very well treated by friendly folks.

Poorly managed.

They were only using the back nine. Would have been nice to know when booking. Then at the turn they had everything backed up with no starter or ranger. It was a free for all. Course was in decent condition.

Only one side

Only back nine open and it is not in good shape. I've played there 5 or 6 times in last couple of years and would normally recommend it but in the shape it was in last week I can not recommend. They need to do some work.

Not worth the drive

Fairly difficult, right course. Not a problem but not much else to say. Fees were fairly bare, bunkers hadn’t been rake (maybe ever), greens were rough in spots and completely bare in others. It was fairly priced but I would drive 30 minutes south again even if it were free.

The course is in need of upgrading

The greens were in serious need of repairs. Some of the fairways were not very good

Hidden gem

The starter is one of the best people I have ever met! Not ok with the guy searching for balls in the way of play and telling people to pair up when the course is empty. But I would go back every week just to listen to the stories from the starter smoking his non filters. Course is in pretty good shape as well.

Royal St. Augustine

Enjoyed the course overall. There were a few greens that needed attention, but the team had adjusted the hole positions to where they were in the best area of the green. Staff was friendly.
