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
Needs work-
The course was undergoing a lot of work - many temporary greens- one hole closed- tee boxes and course needs a great deal of maintenance and upkeep. It’s a good design - very tight with little to no room for stray shots- the greens that had been re sodded haven’t been cut so most greens are unputtable. You have about 26 full swings/shots compared to normal 36 full swings/ shot’s over 18 holes so you’ll get some decent swings/ practice in. No GOS on carts but the carts themselves are nice - the fairway distance markers 100-160-200 are meaningless with so many temporary frees. But any day on a golf course is a good day. Joined on 2nd hole by another golfer… then a third single golfer from 5th hole and a fourth from the back nine. I think the city of St. Augustine would do well by thinking of buying this course and putting some money and resources into it to make it a formidable public muni course. With the recent growth in tourism and relocation of population it would add value to the community.
Real Bad
We could only play front 9 twice, because back 9 was shut down. But hole 6 on the front 9 was also off limits so really we played 8 holes, twice. The the fairways were smoother than the greens and the fairways were not smooth. The greens were honestly the worst part. I used to enjoy this course a d it's sad to see it's really gone downhill. Booked for $30 a player. They charged us $25. Still too much for what we played.
Not what expected
Course is in utter dissaray. Conditions were not good. Understandable because Florida is dry right now some fairways and course needed watering. Several greens were temporary hole placements as they were either reseeding or fixing them. Pace of play was okay at best people trying to figure out what club to use on temp holes and driving thousand holes with carts. Not acceptable. Relaxing round nonetheless weather was great and price was good on golf now app. I found out when got to course why it was so low.
Stay Away
They are working on the greens and it is not playable and won’t be for some time. The course should not be open
Course needs some TLC.
Greens in bad shape. A lot of sand on them. I would not recommend this course.
Fun round
Greens need work, they were working on #6 and was closed. Remainder of course was in good shape and a nice layout. Challenjng but not impossible or overly punishing. Staff was great.
Sandy greens
The greens were full of sand. I don't recommend anyone wasting their time or money until.they can fix this course.
16 out of 18 greens and tee boxes very poor condition
I was very disappointed in the course had not played there in a couple of years. I will not play there again until it is back to its old form. Very disappointed in the course.
Mean greens, friendly Staff
Unfortunately, this is one of the worst golf courses I've played shape wise. The Staff was very friendly but every green had some level of burnout if not all the way burned out. The staff was nice and did discount the round but if I had known how bad the greens were I would not have booked here.
Not good
I hate to leave a bad review, I truly do but patrons need to be very aware of the conditions of this course. Bunkers were dirty pits, there has been no money spent on this course regarding maintenance There was maybe two greens that were actually playable or that you could really putt on. Half the T-boxes was straight up dirt. Cart girl had no chips or snacks I'm sorry there is nothing good about this course I can say to you with the exception of the front desk staff and cart girl they were nice and accommodating. Even at less than $40 I would not play here again.
Great layout
Unfortunately, the course is in
really rough shape
DO NOT PLAY
This course is absolutely destroyed. The tee boxes, the greens, the fairways are all in terrible shape. The greens are unplayable.
Worst course I’ve ever played. Do not waste your money.
The only good thing I could say is the staff was very friendly.
Very sad
Nice staff
Nice course layout
Greens are in such bad shape they are unplayable.
Tee boxes no grass
Bunkers hard packed haven’t been raked in awhile
Course has been potential but so far away from being in just acceptable shape.
Maybe the course in the worst I have ever played in 35 years.
I wish them luck.
