Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club

Brown-dead spots on fairways and greens.

By design, very narrow fairways along with no rough that could hold just slightly errant tee shots.

This course was tough. I would consider myself an average golfer at best but this course made me look even worse. Almost every hole has blind water on one or both sides of the fairway. The fairways are some of the most narrow I have ever played on. If you are a member you know where to attempt to land your ball, if it’s your first time…good luck.

I lost balls that I hit great and thought they would be safe, turns out they would find their way into water that comes into the fairway making it even tighter. When I did make it to the greens they were extremely slow. Save your money and go somewhere else.

And don’t care for the layout to be honest. Greens not in good shape in general.

First time playing here. Probably my last. The front nine greens were in very poor shape. Back nine not as bad but very slow. Lots of courses have struggled down here but you could tell that this course is not being cared for. Areas of erosion is just one thing. The sand traps were all terrible. Little sand and looked like they hadn't been raked in weeks. Lots of weeds in fairways. And some very unfair holes. Can't recommend this one. Especially not for $56.

Course was in okay condition speeding of play was not good. Always have just one bartender and she is slow

No ranger or cart person. Pace of play was horrific. Front nine was probably the worst course conditions I’ve ever played on. Sprinklers soaked one of the greens and were still on while attempting to play. Cart path was falling apart. Green’s were atrocious throughout the course. Charging anyone more than about $15 is criminal.

Overbooked and poorly managed! No keys to golf carts, No answers from staff and the pace of play would have been a six hour round minimum . I only played the front nine which took three hours and 10 minutes to complete and when I hit whole number 10, there were three foursomes in front of me. I decided right then and there that this place was not worth my time, and I will never be back again.

Will play again. Course is in good condition and the staff are awesome!

Course is poorly maintained, very little turf grass, mainly dirt on greens.

Course is in rough shape. Tee boxes are weeds and the green are dirt. Not a very good golf course to play around here.

Some greens were good and some really bad. It is earlier in the year so I will cut them some slack… definitely going back maybe mid summer to check it out again. The course was difficult. Lots of water. I overall liked the course, this place will definitely make you think about your shot selection.

Played royal a few years ago. Today was first time since then. Fairways are in horrible shape, tons of weeds. Greens aren’t much better. I will say, the layout is challenging and fun. Hope they turn it around for the summer months.
