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.

A true challenge

Stay in the fairway! Big numbers follow when you leave the fairway. The course is narrow and there are many hidden obstacles which will result in unpleasant surprises for those who are unfamiliar with the course. A yardage book/program would be a big help. I enjoyed the round - it was challenging.

First Time Playing

Avoid it rude members no starter

I had the first tee time of the day at 7:22 AM. Play nine holes pretty quick went to go off to T 10 and a member. Just decided to start a hole 10. When I asked the member if I could play through, I’m a pretty good golfer and I played a little fast. The members said no you’re not playing through. I’m a member here you can wait. No starter no ranger play elsewhere greens were muddy and dirty

Love the improvements

We played today and other than the cold and wind I thought the course was in great shape compared to a couple of years ago. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to play it again

Good Spot

Solid course! They have done a ton of work to the greens, boxes and bunkers. It’s playing great and only getting better. Love playing here. Staff is always very friendly and the clubhouse is great for a public course.

Great Golf

Loving the course and clubhouse bar. They have put a lot of work getting the course back on track with excellent greens. If you haven’t played here in awhile, you should. The course is looking great again. You can’t beat the hotdogs in the clubhouse. They also have food trucks on Tuesday and Thursdays.

First Time Playing

Very Fun course

Played 18. First timers. Not only was the entire time fun and enjoyable the course was in great shape. The greens were in great shape too with acouple greens with fresh turf but not a big deal. The course winds through some really tough holes with trees and water. I golf in the low 90’s and far from being really good at golf… This course, the staff and the way it plays…. I will be back!

Course Revived!

Came up from SWFL for a staycation. From what I read in the reviews the course was going through some repairs but we didn’t want to drive far from town

The staff extremely friendly and hospitable! Plenty of practice facilities and driving range space. The course it self was challenging and fun to play. All the greens and Tee boxes were well manicured. There are areas around the greens that were under repair but you could see the staff is making an awesome effort to bring this place up to top notch.

Great value for a round of golf. We will be back!

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.

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.
