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.

Stay in the middle of the fairway.

Course is tough. Stay in the middle of the fairway because if you hit the edges say goodbye ball.

Golfing like a Royal

Took a left instead of going right to get to the 15th hole but we had the course to ourselves and so we got a preview of the last three holes and took note of the water protecting the 16th hole green on our way backwards to 15. :D

Decent shape

Back 9 only. They are mowing the fairways again and greens were pretty good.

Course was in good shape, but front nine was closed. Greens were slow; you had to really strike the ball to get it to the hole. Staff was very friendly, charging me for 9 hole rate since front nine was closed.

Still love/hate

You either love or hate this course but after playing it 180 times in 12 years, I still can't decide. There are the ups and downs such as the poor mowing conditions occasionally (due to broken down mowers, which happens), the occasional greens problems (#1 took a long time to get right), the unfortunate bounces after a decent drive, etc. but they are balanced by the great staff, especially Jake and Destiny, and the overall loose, have-fun/good luck attitude of everyone there.

#1 is the hardest hole, then #15; easiest is probably one of the par threes; my favorites are #7 and #17. Overall, it's a decent course with occasional maintenance issues like many courses.

Absolutely Horrid

I paid for 18, based off of the photos I saw on google and GN I expected this to be a pretty nice country club course. I arrived to dingy golf carts in a rundown-ish neighborhood. I was already not happy. Once I got the first tee I could tell it how it was going to go… weeds in the tee box. The fairways are about the same length of the rough. Dead greens. Left after whole 6.
