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.

It’s ok

Fun course to play, it’s challenging with some tight fairways and lots of water. If you are one to not consistently hit the fairway , bring extra balls !

I’d say the course was only ok., the greens had quite a bit of crab grass. The Starter needs a attitude adjustment !!! He was extremely rude!

Good overall course

First of all it's August in Florida. Every course is going to be wet. This course definitely had some casual hazards but overall drained well. Interesting and fairly difficult layout. Only real downfall was the crab grass on the green.

Great challenge if your in St Augustine

Challenging course. Conditions pretty good overall, greens were slower than normal for what I’m use to but very makeable. Some crab grass out there that can misdirect longer putts. They had a junior tournament occurring that was slowing down the course overall but on a Sunday late morning is this something to be patient with. Amenities aren’t the strongest but I came for the golf. Overall, a strong 4 out of 5 experience.

Dog track

I don’t review too many courses, but I wanted to hopefully spare some people from throwing money away on this dog track. It was one of the worst rounds of my life and I’ve played all over the world. The course is a convoluted mess. It was in poor condition, there was a mix of locals and ornery residents and a few tourists. Driving around trying to find the holes was a nightmare. Dinky golf shop, decent front desk guy, but when i lost my Scotty Cameron head cover, they weren’t helpful at all about - i don’t know - keeping an eye out for it maybe? No one seems to repair ball marks, part of the course is literally washed out and under water. Just a mess.

Greens

Not a bad course. First one I have played in Florida. I hope the Greens get better. Overall the course was good. The putting greens were in bad shape.

Very difficult course

I would not recommend this course to anyone with a handicap great than 18. Drives need to be tight and iron play perfect, very difficult.

The course has a good layout however we caught it at a time when the greens were punched and being aerated.

My brother and I played the course on Monday.

The greens need serious attention.

We were matched up with 2 other seniors who were very friendly and enjoyable to play the round with.

Will return when the greens are in better shape.

Dressed greens after punching. Fun round.

Still a fun round. This course will CHALLANGE you and yet you will still have a lot of fun. Mid handicapper changed it up by playing the white tees and had a blast.

Must be short staffed

Course was in bad condition. Weeds all over and areas haven’t been mowed in a while. I haven’t seen it like this prior. I would guess they must be short staff for for sometime.

I hope they can find a way to recover.

Course really has a great layout.

Green would be ok but we’re just punch - which needs to be done and not holding that against them.
