Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club

The course is ok shape. It’s not squire and slammer but it’s also not $200/round. The greens are different each hole and the rough is exactly that. But the staffs cool, the course is challenging, and they hire cute cart girls and bartenders.

Some holes are very narrow, if you can’t hit it straight, this may be a long day for you.

The course seems to be hopefully headed in the right direction.

Greens were in better shape than I’ve seen them in some time. The fairways were ok. They were watered, but still several weeds. The worst part were the tee boxes. They were either without grass or moved and you were teeing off out of St Augustine grass.

On the upside, there were crews laying sod in several areas.

Hopefully this nice layout is on the upswing.

Course has so much potential. Beautiful drives in between holes through a nice community. Challenging narrow fairways. Great for placing your shots. Unfortunately the course is beat up. Tee boxes are in horrible shape. All over the course there were spots that were under repair. Even sod on a green. We kept on saying throughout our round how nice it could be. Oh well happy we played a new course but wouldn’t play again.

It’s nice to see the progress made on the greens which are rolling good. Areas around the greens also have been worked on, bare areas now have grass. The rough areas are still “rough”. But just stay in the fairway right?

Bunkers seem to have more diirt than sand.

Played on Saturday past and enjoyed myself enough to go back on Memorial Day.

This place has really gone down hill over the past few years. Once a favorite target golf course in the Jacksonville/St Augustine area, also one of the toughest layouts, period - now the fairways, tee boxes, and fringe areas are an embarrassment. The greens were decent enough for the price, I suppose, but chipping and approach shots on top of St Augustine grass and weeds is quite the irony for the course's namesake - St Augustine. I'm sure attendance and membership may be down since COVID, but please someone rescue this once awesome and respected course!!

Excellent course. Some holes will challenge even the very good golfers. Staff is excellent.

The course actually has some well designed and interesting holes. Unfortunately it also has several holes with blind tee shots and ponds lurking where you can’t see. I’m sure it was a nice course at some point in the past, but is now in poor condition tee to green. The greens were inconsistent and have a lot of poa and weeds. There is very little grass on the fairways, and no room for error since none of the vegetation on the sides of the fairways has been trimmed back for quite some time. These things make the course play even more difficult which only leads to a more negative view of the course.

I can’t imagine that I will ever go back to play there due to the conditions.

You really need to be a precision player to enjoy this course. Unless you truly understand the course, you never know where your ball will end up.

The course was in rough shape. Very dry in areas & the greens were in bad shape. In our experience of playing different courses. The price was to high for the shape the course was in.

The employees were very friendly and professional.

Great staff. Signage could be better for us first time players. First 9 really needs work. Tee boxes are non really bad on first 9 holes.

First time playing Royal Saint Augustine. I thought the course layout was challenging one. I like the uniqueness of the course layout.. The front nine holes need some repair on each hole. The back nine is in better shape. The greens were either slow or fast. It was tough to judge how to put on each green. Hopefully once the grass starts to fill in and grow, . The course will be in better shape.
