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.

Course a bit rough

Would have been okay if the price was lower. Price is definitely too high for the quality.

Stay away for the money you pay

The course is in terrible shape for the money you pay.

So sad it was a great course long ago but who ever is the greens manager needs to be fired. The course as it is now I would pay 25.00 per round it is not a 40.00 golf course

Downhill slide

I’ve played this course a few times through the years, and won’t ever play here again. Drainage issues, unkempt rough, greens covered in weeds & bare spots. Bunkers are hard.

Unplayable

Absolutely terrible. Driving range was closed, the first green was closed so a temp was carved out of the fairway, and the overall conditions of the course were unplayable. Overgrown with weeds, tee boxes were chewed up and uneven, poor drainage/swamp spots on the fairways, greens had more fungus than a public shower. This is BY FAR the worst conditions I have ever seen here or at any course in the area (and that's saying something considering how bad a certain course on 210 can be). I'm disappointed to say the least. Not what I have seen at this course previous, nor what anyone should expect when paying for a round.

Going Downhill

The course has major drainage issues, hard bunkers, muddy tee boxes, greens are covered with weeds, and the first hole had been shortened by over 100 yards with the “green” just a scalped piece of fairway without so much as a heads up from the starter, club house or website.

The layout is extremely narrow with wet thick rough and water abundant on every hole.

I would save your time & money. Don’t play this course unless you have extreme accuracy, but want to get your feet wet through your shoes and put on uneven greens.

This course use to be a good course but is getting worse as time goes on.

The tee boxes are bad with not much grass on them. Almost all greens are loaded with crab grass and suck for putting. I’m about fed up with the conditions of this course. Definitely felt cheated have to pay $40 to play this course.

Greens and Beverage Angels

The lack of good greens and no beverage angels keeps me from playing this course on a regular basis.

The greens could be mowed and rolled and improve greatly. and no cart service is just not acceptable.
