Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club
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
Short and sweet
First off, the staff was friendly and not pretentious. Interesting course layout that sprawls through a housing community. Lots of interesting views. Course not in good shape. Note this is a narrow course with tree lines and water lining most fairways. Good place to work on course strategy.

St Augustine
Thankfully we had a Hot Deal from Golf Now. We f we would have paid full price, this review would be worse. 1st time on this course. Greens were atrocious, so our round quickly became a practice round. Could not legitimately keep score. No rakes @ sand traps. All around bad round.
Thank you for taking the time to review and rate the course. We just hired a new superintendent and anticipate better conditions later this year! We hope to see you back then.
very strange track
landing areas for many holes are ridiculously small and heavily contoured. Expect to lose lots of balls out here. The course is in pretty awful shape: fairways and greens are patchy at best. Also, this is not a walkable course. at several points it's at least 1000 yards from one green to the next tee. it is cheap, so there's that.

Very poorly operated
If your door knobs haven’t been polished in a while and all the other courses are full, take advantage of the free time. 3-4 groups on each hole, hours behind pace and the front desk was letting walk-in groups play regardless of tee-times or reservations and the over crowding. Course was maintained by whatever God provided. I will not be returning.

Not Great
Not sure where to start. The good. Nice layout. Everything downhill from there. Tee boxes beat up, fairways just ok and the greens absolutely horrible. Putting like playing plinko. Do not like writing reviews like this but….. not worth the money in my opinion.

Friendly staff, not friendly course
Course conditions were terrible, but the staff was friendly and laid back. There was a 6 cart backup on hole 1, and if you don’t have excellent ball control (IE can hit the dang thing exactly where you want to) you’re not going to have a good day. I’ll be playing elsewhere when visiting.

Worst course in Saint John’s County.
I was Hoping management had improved the course since Zi last played it almost a year ago.? But alas, tees and greens are in terrible shape. I’ve played cow pastures in better shape. I do Not recommend this course. Very sad as it’s the closest course to my home.

Tuff shape
The course has a decent layout but it is in pretty tuff shape. I spoke to the desk guy he told me that the Superintendent was just fired and a new one will be starting next week. Hopefully he can save the course. Tee’s where terrible, no rake’s at bunkers and greens very bumpy and lots of crabgrass. I don’t like giving bad reviews but I just have to be honest.

Good Value
I want to take issue with the harsh reviews. The course has some condition issues for sure, but no where near deserving of the harshest comments. I try to play modestly priced courses, mostly in the Fort Myers/Port Charlotte area, so I see some poorly conditioned courses. This course is far better than those and lower in price than some.
If one keeps the price paid in mind, I feel this course is a great value. If price does not matter, then go play a more pristine course, of which there are many.
We stayed in our RV in the parking lot (the course is a Harvest Host member) and found the staff in the ProShop, cart barn, and bar/grill to be among the most friendly and helpful we have experienced.
And one last thing, condition aside, the course was challenging and interesting.
We will play it again anytime we are in the area.
Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club. We hope to see you again soon!

First timer
I have played in less expensive courses in Michigan that had better greens and more leeway on tee times for the price

Worst course you’ll ever play
Absurd prices and would refuse to refund my money for this joke of a course. Snobby staff. Terrible range, terrible tee boxes, terrible pace of play, terrible environment, terrible fairways, terrible greens. Please find somewhere else
