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
Poor condition
Many of the greens are in very poor condition. Nothing but mud and crab grass. I will never play again. Sand trap in front first green was compacted mud with tractor tire treads all through it. Never raked.
Needs a lot of work
1st time here. I was the only 1 in c/house but the guy sitting leaning against wall seemed annoyed I bothered him. No hi or thanks for choosing us. Easy to get lost. Holes run thru. n/hoods. Poor signage. Cart paths are pathetic. Uneven, broken, terrible bumps. Every other course I played had grass on greens. None here. Course was designed by Mark McCumber but he would be disappointed to see it now. The layout appears to be very nice. Fairways have moguls which are nice. #8 hole is really nice. I will not waste my money here. Would not recommend.With some work and care it could be the course you want to play everyday. Sorry Mark.
Fairway
Fairways slope both to the woods or the water which makes you out of bounds not nice
Slow play
Course in good condition considering it’s winter. Staff has always been nice. But pace of play today was very slow.
night and day
The front nine and back nine were like being on two different planets. Front was like they said here is some land and we can squeeze in a course. The back was a little more normal. All fairways were very normal and not very pleasing to the eye. Greens were fast except for the weeds that disrupted the ball roll. Don't spend over 30 for this course,
The GREENS!!!!!
The course is challenging, and fun, but these greens need help,
Thank you for the feedback. We are under new ownership and management now. We also just hired a new superintendent. We are committed to improving the playing conditions and the overall experience for golfers. Our number one priority is improving the greens. We hope you come back out to see us soon. Thank you, Marc.
winter golf in FL.
Accurate driving is definitely a plus on this course. It's winter golf so I tried to overlook the dormant condition of the grass, however, other courses in the area incorporate overseeding to improve play. At this price, don't expect it, I didn't. The greens ran true and putting was one of the better parts of the course but they are beginning to get some bad patches of foreign grass that need to be treated. Again, at this price it wasn't too bad a condition. I play this course once a year on the way further south and will continue to do so.
Thank you for coming out!
Most challenging course I have played. Wouldn’t recommend it for a beginner. Tight, shot player’s course.
Thank you for the feedback. It can certainly be a difficult course to play. It does get easier the more you play it and figure out where to miss it.
Thank you!
It's OK
The staff was friendly, pace of play very good. Course condition so-so. Greens had been punched, should be told ahead of time. No restrooms on course, porta-potty☹️. The design/set-up just not our cup of tea. Really dislike "moguls" on courses where it's contrived. Just a personal thing. Course seems really crammed into a housing development.
Thank you!
Overbooked and very slow pace of play
The greens are rolling like a pool table - fairways are in decent shape as well as the tee boxes
The course was WAY OVERBOOKED- which made for an extremely slow pace of play - we had a group in front of us that really dragged their feet - could use a starter out on the course to make sure foursomes like this pick up their pace
5 and 1/2 hours for a round of golf is not good at all - ruins any momentum you gain with good shots
Worst Public Course
I just moved to Saint Augustine and have made my way to all of the public courses in the county. This is the worst course, hands down. It’s in disarray, poor carts, poor course conditions. I tried to pay with my credit card and the attendant in the pro shop asked if I had cash because the credit card machine doesn’t work sometimes and he has to manually put in the number. Probably will not ever return.
Excellent experience
Jodees the bartender is very friendly! Highly recommend this course.
Has potential
The course just changed management and is in flux. New carts are expected next week and ours was not in good shape. In fact, we had to wait until the court was available for us and we were there at 11 AM. The greens were slow. The course was not in great shape. And the pace of play was slow from the eighth hole on.
New Ownership
Golf course is terrible under new ownership.
Get rid of the trashy talking bartender, Jodee, who will yell at you for not tipping the amount she wants. Such a trailer park trash of a woman.
New owners have no idea what customer service is and fired all the great employees from the pro shop.
Community used to support this clubhouse but not anymore. Go play at World Golf Village.
Hello, we appreciate the feedback. The new ownership is committed to providing an excellent golfing experience. We have made some unpopular changes, but we assure you we did what we felt was in the best interest of the business. There are many positive changes on the way. We just ask that everyone be patient. We hope you will give us another chance once we've had a chance to make the improvements. Thank you,
