Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club

Although there has been a lack of rain, the conditions were not good at all

Poor excuse for a golf course. Abysmal conditions. Greens were unplayable. Tee boxes bare. Should be embarrassed to charge what they do. Don’t be fooled by website. Stay away from this one.

I have never seen a course with such poor lack of care and mainitence. Uncut tee boxes, greens that look like pot holes, covered in crab grass, tee boxes unlevel, weeds and mold covering fences. I have pictures. No water, no ball washers, worn off paint for yard markers, terrible sand in traps. The place is a wreck. When I specifically asked about course conditions, I was not told about what horrible condition the greens were in. Only that they were punched. This woman I am sure has never seen the condition of the greens. I could not count my round score, the putting surface was in such bad condition. Large areas of fairway were totally dead and brown, or covered in sand.

The greens were horrible - little sprouting weeds made a put bump and jump - super frustrating - not enjoyable.

This course is in terrible condition, take it off as an option. They should not allow us use it until it’s repaired. Tee boxes were dry the fairways with patches of grass and weeds. Waters smell horrible. The greens were with almost no grass weeds were cut low on the greens which made the surface lumpy and irregular. I’ve never played on a course reserved through GOLFNOW this poor.

As a person in their mid-50s, I've played a host of course in my lifetime -- dog tracks included.

But this just may be the worst-maintained course I've ever played. There is not a single redeeming aspect of this course. I played the course the first week of June 2022, which should be when courses are in their prime condition.

No such luck here.

The tee boxes are barren and the fairways aren't much better. And the greens are an embarrassment -- a third of them have sections that have absolutely no grass on them while the others are mostly crabgrass.

And to make matters worse the people that work there do not see to care. When I voiced my opinion to the person working the Pro Shop I received a weak "I'm sorry" with a shrug.

GolfNow should remove this course as an option for players because it simply lacks any basic standard of a working golf course.

The first hole was totally dead from to green it did get a little better but greens are full of weeds and art aren’t very putable

Not played here for a year. The course is in terrible condition.
Greens fairways and bunkers all awful.
Such a shame

I mean was my day fun? Yes, I was playing golf and not working. With that said though, the course was in terrible shape. The greens were ate up and the fairways incredibly spotty. I don’t remember this course being in such bad shape before.

Friendly staff and nice amenities. Greens could use a little work. Great food and drinks. Shannon and Barb are terrific!!!

This wasn’t the first time I’ve played 18 at The Royal, won’t be my last but won’t be back for a while. I booked a solo tee time for 08:00 for 18. Upon arrival, the man with the clipboard at the beginning of the course grouped me with a set of 3 other players. This should not have been done, and he did not give me an option to opt out of group play. The “starter” as he labeled himself needs to be more polite when addressing people. On a course note, the greens were patchy and inconsistent. Otherwise the course is beautiful. Please, if someone books a solo spot for themselves, let them play by themselves…..was not happy with that.

2nd time playing there and course keeps going down hill fast. Haven't mowed in weeks because weeds are only thing growing. Greens are as dead as fairways.
