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.

Corse and bathrooms in terrible condition

This is by far the worst course I have ever played. The tee boxes were mostly dirt and the greens were in terrible shape. The fairways were just ok. The first thing that really upset us was the the condition of the bathrooms.

They were disgustingly filthy and the toilet bowls had Human waste all over them. Looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks. My wife did not play but did use the bathroom and also said the bathroom was disgusting.

Definitely not the "COUNTRY CLUBS" were accustomed to.

Tight !!

This course is in need of repair. The clubhouse is old needs renovation. The courses greens need a lot of work not all but most. Fairways were ok but very tight. Leave the driver in the bag the majority of the holes. Alot of water on this course and almost every fairway had hazards on both sides. A challenging golf course but old and run down . You can see it when you arrive at the Clubhouse.

Tight Course

This course has an awesome layout. Almost every tee shot from back Tees is chute to a tight fairway. Approach shots are also interesting do to challenging green complexes. Unfortunately, the course is run down and lacks maintenance on tee boxes, fairways, greens and especially bunkers. No rakes anywhere. All in all, it was a fun layout and very reasonable price...we will play here again.

Great value

Nice little clubhouse, funky layout thru a neighborhood. Lots of water. Most greens were in good shape, fairways decent but a little dry. I would definitely play here again, had a fun day! Full bar in clubhouse was nice.

Royal St Augustine still needs work - good for iron practice

Not much has changed

Crowned fairways

Clearly not watering enough

Chewed up tee boxes

Fairways are bare in spots and weeds have grown

Hard fairways and greens

Some greens are pretty bumpy

Balls will run off into water or woods

You will lose at least a dozen balls

Leave your driver in the bag

Good practice for irons

1st Time Round Royal Palm at St Augustine

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Nice driving range close to club house to warm up. Course was in good condition for mid-March and dry. Layout was fine and gave a good challenge. You want to strategize for each hole. Course had lots of moguls and hazards that required you to think how you wanted to approach the green Greens were moderate size and fast. Ground crew does a good job. Good value for a round of golf.

Just awful

Save your money and play elsewhere. It really is in horrendous shape. I paid for 18 and left after 9. Didn’t even bother to ask for partial refund just get me out of there!
