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.

My first round in Florida ... never going back to PA :P Photo submitted by Eric3413 on 08/06/2013
I don’t recommend this course.
There were quite a few fairways and/or greens that were in really rough shape. The staff was very friendly though, and I enjoyed a good lunch at the turn. There’s a phone number at the 9th hole to call ahead. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend the course for the cost of between $40 and $50 which I paid.
ATlanta visitor
The tee boxes and fairways were good but the greens were as bad as I have ever played. They were terrible. I brought two fiends with me from Atlanta and were absolutly embarrassed that the course was so bad. Every green was bad

Mr
The greens on the course were the worst I’ve ever played anywhere. Tees & fairways were good but greens were horrible

Great course for price
I enjoyed the outing very much. The staff was very friendly. I am a 25 handicap so the course suited me well. Was warned that there were some trouble spots on greens but found that to not be true. I have already booked a tee time for next Monday.
Thank you for taking the time to review and rate us. We hope you join us for another round soon!
Crab Grass, Fungus on greens, and dead grass everywhere
This place needs to be overhalled if it wants to attract new players that want to say something nice about the course. If I lived in the community, I’d be highly upset and wonder what the association fees are being spent on.

Terrible Course Conditions
The course is a great layout but the conditions were terrible. Weeds all through the fairway, greens the worse in Jacksonville and St Augustine, bunkers not raked and full of water. The course has potential but needs a lot of work done. Would NOT recommend!!

Bugs & Sand
Second time playing this course and it was honestly not fun at all. Everywhere has bugs, but the amount of nats and flies on the course make it impossible to even swing (they do sell bug spray, for 12$ that doesn’t work at all). Then it started storming around 7pm, went to the clubhouse to ask about a raincheck and they had just left for the night. Maybe worth 20 a person, but certainly not what they are charging.

Challenging
It is definitely a hard course and lost a lot of balls. But I liked the challenge. I feel as though it is not a well maintained course and many greens were in bad shape. The cost is comparable to well kept courses so maybe they should lower their prices if they are not going to maintain them
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that you were not satisfied with the condition of the course during your visit. We have a new superintendent and expect course to get better within in the next 6 months!
Awful greens
The course layout itself was interesting. Pretty challenging and fun. But the greens were so bad it ruined my game. There’s sand all over them which makes it almost impossible to get a read. Would not play this course again.

Great staff, awful course conditions
I played this course while on vacation and the course was in terrible condition. All tee boxes had sand all over them and weeds all over the fairways. One of the holes u have to hit a 9 iron/PW in order to layup and not hit a house to get to the hole, layout was just weird. Greens were even worse. Patches all over the place and weeds or sand patches all over the place. Staff was amazing, but course conditions were one of the worst I’ve seen.

Worst course I’ve ever played
I wouldn’t pay $10 to play here. The greens are dusty. The fairways look better than the greens. I didn’t play 1 good green. I read the reviews before I played and i thought it could be that bad. I was wrong. If it had negative stars I would put them

Needs lovin
Tee boxes n fairways were nice, the greens however need work. The greens look like Afghanistan on one side n shaggy on other. But for 25 on a Sunday with people letting us rip thru guess it's hard to heat
Thank you for taking the time to review our business. We are glad to hear that you found our tee boxes and fairways to be nice. We apologize for the condition of the greens and we will work to improve them going forward.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating! We really appreciate your business. Thanks for choosing Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club!
Work in Progress
So this course is definitely a work in progress. You can tell they are trying to fix it and therefore the price makes sense. Once they are able to get it in shape the only issue I think it has is its extremely unique layout. It bobs a weaves through the neighborhood a lot and if you’ve never played it before it is very easy to get lost. They didnt have a ranger or a cart girl out which I thought was strange for a Sunday round of golf. The cart girl eventually went out while we were on the 18th green which was just before noon so that was disappointing.
Thank you so much for leaving us a review. We value our customer experience and we hope to see you back at Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club!
Nope
Greens are shot
Traps are shot
Can you tell that some time long ago it was a great course challenging layout, but that was then. Unfortunately today it’s on its way out.
