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.

Golfer Reviews
Save your time and money
The course is horrible shape with the exception of the 16th hole. The fairways are spotty and it doesn’t appear they have a greens keeper because most if not all the greens are lumpy and some portions of the greens don’t have any grass. There are too many great courses in Saint Augustine and Jacksonville to waste your time and money on this one. We paid $49 to play which is a bit pricey for this golf course.
Horrible Condition
Half of the greens are unputtable. Don't waste your money.
Overpriced for poor conditions
Very poor conditions. Very dry. Damaged greens. Some holes looked like a construction site with pipes and shovels out. For being the closest course to St Augustine where tourists regularly come, I expected more. The layout of the course is very confusing as well. Pay more and drive further if you want to golf in the area.
Praying for rain!
Nice course but due to the dry conditions not up to usual standards. Greens are choppy which made putting quite difficult.
Challenging Enough but Frustrating
For visitors and newcomers, the signage to get you from one hole to the next tee box is terrible. The fairways are tight which makes it a nice challenge. However, there is no grass on the fairways or greens which means pitching, chipping, and putting are nearly impossible to do with any kind of accuracy.
I would rather pay more money and enjoy the challenges rather than be frustrated by poor signage and poor conditions.
a good Bargain
This course had to be one of the best when first established. Unfortunately, members left the course as new courses came into the area. The layout is challenging but the course requires more care than management can afford. The staff of 6 people do an excellent job to keep it playable.. i have no problem recommending this course, the cost is more than reasonable.
Management is not good or cooperative and they do not honor golfnow
After booking the tee time on golfnow for $41 when I should up they charged us 49+tax and made us paid at the course. They said that is what shows in the system and that is what their regular price is for tee time. Bottom line they don’t honor golf now when it’s due on the course. Perhaps, paid in full to golfnow might be honored but not sure with that.
I would suggest not to book this course because even after I complaint and showed them the reservation on my golfnow.con app they still will not honor it and rudely said I am free to write a review.
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.
Goat track
Very disappointed I wouldn’t play this course if it was free.
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.
Coming to visit St. Augusting in a couple weeks - what local course would you suggest.
Already have time at King and Bear. Looking for someting a bit cheaper as well.
