Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club
About
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.

My first round in Florida ... never going back to PA :P Photo submitted by Eric3413 on 08/06/2013
Shot placement is paramount
We were paired with a man who was very familiar with the course and that was the best thing to happen, because if you don't know the course, count on at least ten more strokes. Overall the course could be considered average, but if they don't get the poanna under control, the course will deteriorate quickly.
Great course for the money
Very enjoyable course. Not an easy course if you have never been there. Long distance between some of the tees. Course was in decent shape for coming out of winter time. Greens still need the first mow, but we're sanded and rolled pretty true.
Tough layout
If you can hit your long irons straight, stick with your long irons off the tee box
Royal
Course is a great value
Needs work on cart paths Very narrow with rough running away from fairways into hazards If you don’t stay in the middle you’ll be looking for your ball sll day. Not for folks who don’t hit the ball straight!
Great new ownership
The new owners are great! They put allot of time and bread into this course. The staff is very friendly and will help with anything. Recommend this course to anyone but beginners. You must shoot stright here.
Pace of Play Disaster
Slow slog through the first four holes. Had to skip Hole 5 in order to swing a club. Way too much driving to/from tee boxes. Will not return.
Very Solid Course
Overall very solid course, unique holes and design, fun to play.
What a change!!
From the worst kept course two years ago it is now up there with the best. From tee through greens and even sand and surrounding brush this course is tough but fun. Improvements are fantastic. Congrats to superintendent and staff.
And I’m not related to any of them.
Needs attention by a qualified professional
This layout is short and narrow. The greens are firm and fast. The green surrounds are grassless and many hard pan areas throughout the course. The oace of play was painful and tediously slow..
Course is in fair condition
More golf carts are needed. If you’re going out after lunch and all the golf carts are already out on the course you might have to wait for a cart to come in off the course before you can go out to play. The quality of food and beverage is lacking, but the staff is very nice And the course is recovered well from last year‘s damage from the heat and lack of water there are still areas that need to be upgraded however, there is work being done around the course to cut back some of the overgrowth. The course plays a little bit slow since there seems to be a lot of beginners out on the track. Overall, it’s a good value and I will return his long as the tea box is in green. Stay in decent condition..
Not good
As someone who is a 5 handicap from the tips. And someone who grew up playing courses with dirt for tee boxes and greens. This is right up there with that. Sorry but the course either needs more work or to make it easier. You can do a lot more for 70+ dollars
Great experience
This is a very tough course especially for beginners. You will lose a lot of balls but if lucky will find replacements.
My wife is just learning and it was great having no one push us. Too many obstacles for a beginner in my opinion.
Felt it was extremely fair price for the condition of the course.
I would play again
Tough course
Played this course with my wife who is learning the game. It was great with no one pushing us. However you need a lot of junk balls, very narrow and LOTS of lost balls!
Staff was amazing and friendly.
If you are a serious golfer you will be disappointed.
If you are a hack like us you will love it.
Felt it was great value for the money!!
Amenities
Once again tried to have lunch the restaurant more or less was closed. The bar was open and hotdog only.
NARROW COURSE
As a beginner golfer (usual score around 102), I would not recommend this course to beginners. Besides that the course is very narrow, it also has a lot of water hazards, along with its share of bunkers. It seems that every hole has at least one water hazard; some have two-one on each side.
Also, some of the greens need work. They had a lot of weed-type growth on them that made your ball jump several times, which of course throws off your alignment.
