Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club

Conditions are getting better at this course the greens are improving

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Terrible course - no grass in the fairways., greens on the front were not puttablr

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

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

overall the course was fun to play - the layout is challenging but conditions need to improve to make this a great course. too sandy in fairway, greens were ok in places and several need more work to get consistent. played with 3 people I never met before and enjoyed the company. I hit good shots, bad shots and some shots that course condition was a factor. overall had a good day!

very friendly staff. we only played the back nine. conditions are all in all ok. more water and care for the fairways would help. Greens are in average conditions. We played there several times over the last years. The course layout is fine but the course conditions got worse from year to year. Altough the prize went down too, it is a pity to see. I hope you will raise the money to renovate, because the potential is still there. what never changed is the kindness of your staff and the excellent offers in the clubhouse!

cool coarse with terrible greens.

this course has not been rated by the usga so you can post any scores played here which is a big bummer for a guy like me who travels here in the off season back home.

extremally cool layout with plenty of risk / reward holes. a lot of character .

unfortunately the greens have been in terrible shape both times I've played here. with in the last 2 years. with that said it is one of the lowest priced rounds near by.
