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
Course needs work, a lot of work
Greens currently relocated in the middle of the fairway on 4 holes. Some shortened by 50-100 yards. The tee boxes are in disarray and there are about 4 greens in great condition. Even at a discounted rate, I don’t feel that you’re getting a fair value for the conditions
DO NOT COME HERE
DO NOT COME HERE THIS COURSE IS PITIFUL SPRINKLERS WERE ON FOR MY LAST 4 HOLES DIDNT EVEN FINISH I AM SOAKING WET THERE ARE 4 TEMP GREENS IN THE FAIRWAY THAT ARENT MOWED AND EVERY OTHER GREEN IS HALF SAND DO NOT COME
Needs lots of work.
Most tee boxes were 70% sand - 4 greens were closed - about half of the were 70-80% sand. Bunkers were just hard packed mud. Disappointed in the course conditions
Embarrassing Golf Conditions
I have played Royal St.Augustine 4-5 times yearly for over 15 years. The golf course has slowly degenerated into a tourist rip off of seasonal golfers. There are recent attempts to improve green conditions (there are 4 current temporary greens, NOT MENTIONED on Golf Now). The front 9 holes tee boxes, fairways, boundary lines, and every green is in absolute pathetic condition. The back 9 holes are an improvement but still equating to an aging public course generally found in abandoned inner city neighborhoods. It is so sad to see the former “Target Course” in the current condition. My last round has been played.
Poor Condition
No warning, no discount - the course is not in playable condition and they are putting greens on the fairways while they “renovate” I suppose. It should be closed if not discounted to putt-putt rates. Disappointing.
Green under repair
Green is terrable and repairing now.
They need to close the course till fixed.
A Golf Course in Need of Serious Work
Several greens did not exist because they were being re-done. The other greens were very crappy (i.e. burnt out, overgrown, poorly maintained, etc.). Areas were flooded, too.
Course is unplayable. AVOID AT ALL COST
Course is unplayable. Hope you love the beach because every tee box is a sandbox. Not a single blade of grass inbetween the tee box markers. Also almost every green was "under renovation". The temporary greens that were in place were ripped up trashed parts of the fairway that were covered in sand and weeds. They were also 50-120 yards short of the yardage marked. Every bunker was drowned in 3-5 inches of water. The areas in the bunker that were not underwater were hard as a rock and damaged one of my wedges. Hole 6 was just closed completely. We were never told about the closure and were only told parts of a few greens were under renovations not the entire green. The staff member in the clubhouse was very rude and seemed upset we got our reservation on golfnow. He made sure to mention we got the cheap price 3-4 times. I think that "Cheap Price" of $25 is more than this course is worth. Drove 45 minutes to come to this course and will never be back. You should avoid at all cost.

Vera bad conditions, one hole closed, six greens in reparation and the 12 remaining needs repairs too.
No way, should be shut down
The absolute worst course I’ve ever seen, walked off on 7. First 5 holes don’t have a green, 6 is closed. 7 had a green, unplayable. No tee boxes, all sand, 7 was off of the road or path. Is should be shut down . They said at 31.00 I was getting a deal. Unthinkable to charge people to play there, close it, fix it, start over. Corporate greed keeping it open..
Renovated
If you're going to go play there play The back nine for the back eight I mean because one of the holes is under renovation and the front nine is all under renovation back nine has one hole that's being renovated but I would go around and play it twice
This course needs a lot of work
The front 9 should be closed until all work on the tees and greens are complete. Several holes had temporary greens and the greens that were open were in terrible condition, plus the 6th hole was closed to play. Most of the tees were bare dirt or had very little grass. The back nine condition was somewhat better but not much. There was one temporary green on the back nine. I would not recommend this course to anyone at this time.
