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.

Not bad

Can be a really good course if fairways were cut better and greens rolled.

Target golf

Greens were fast, there isn't any rough your ball is in play or out of play in woods or water. If you can't put spin on ball it will roll off green and down a slope to water or woods. No rough on fair ways so play with three wood and not driver.

Target Golf: Royal St Augustine

This course is all about target golf. You have to select the correct club then hit it where you are aiming. Fairways are narrow. Trees visible and abundant but not all the water hazards visible. The first time expect to lose some balls. Greens are just okay and many are raised. Not too many shots you can roll on the green.

This course gives you the opportunity to use all the clubs in the bag.

Disappointed

Was hoping course was in better shape. I love the design of it, but greens are not in good shape. #1 is almost total mud pack. Other greens ha e burn spots and bumpy. Alot of wet areas due to drainage area. Staff was nice and not sure if they can do anything to help situation. Range balls are in very bad shape, not worth the 9 bucks to hit 2 good balls out of 50. Cut balls and very old

Challenging track/Rough greens

This course offers a good challenge. Lots of undulating fairways and water in play. Greens need some work. Poor condition.

Sad

This course could be decent. I played a couple of months ago and thought it was in the worst shape I'd seen it in. I guess that was a challenge, because it has gotten in even worse condition. Fine that its in poor shape, but shameful to charge the same amount you pay to play a decent course. Stay far away from this goat track.

Terrible condition

The fairway had no grass and tee blocks and greens were in terrible condition. Sand bunkers were mud and had no rakes so footprints in all of them. Pace was so slow we waited on every hole, every shot. It had an interesting layout but couldn’t enjoy it because of the terrible conditions. Very disappointed.

Dog track

Terrible layout, fairways too tight. Horrible greens. Traps are like dirt. Cart girl was a sweetheart though.

Good value for golf

While the course requires you to think before you hit, it is worth the value they charge for golf. I would play it again or recommend it to other golfers.

Could be better

Could be a very nice and challenging course with some TLC. Front 9 especially with fairways and greens in poor condition. Very hard and not receptive with numerous bald area’s. Pro shop club house and cart pick up personal very polite and helpful. Need a starter to keep things organized and on schedule and a beverage cart on course wouldn’t hurt.

Mixed bag course

I really want to like this course more but I've not found the right way to play it...Too many places where the fairway rolls off to the woods or water. Ball stealing course. Need to pick my targets better.

Hope the conditions improve... Back nine is a bit better than the front. Greens are not the best shape..

Refund?

So when I arrived I was told that the course was closed for the day and frankly the gentleman working was quite rude about it. I asked about a refund and he said to call golf now. Companies that do business together, yet do not support each other and bad mouth each other should not be in business and definitely should not be in business together. I'd like my refund, they closed the course, I did not play.
