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.

The tee boxes were in poor condition . It had very little grass. Several of the greens look like they were dirt that had been painted green.

For the price I am not expecting pristine conditions but I did expect better

Fun Day

Greens are in good shape, tee boxes are in serious need of help, bunkers are well maintained, and fairways are typical for this time of year. Hooked up with 2 other singles and had fun time.

Much improved

I stopped playing here because it is usually so bad. But I decided to give it another try last weekend. Wow. I'm gad I did. It's still no where close to being perfect, but it is much improved. Its in much better shape than some other nearby courses that charge a lot more and have a much better reputation.
