Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club

Greens are in good shape, tee boxes are in serious need of help, bunkers are well maintained, and fairways are typical for this time of year. Hooked up with 2 other singles and had fun time.

I stopped playing here because it is usually so bad. But I decided to give it another try last weekend. Wow. I'm gad I did. It's still no where close to being perfect, but it is much improved. Its in much better shape than some other nearby courses that charge a lot more and have a much better reputation.

Course layout is very good and reasonably challenging and green condition is good

However TEE bog management is poor.,bear glass area..

Pacce of play; I was unlucky to follow tthe terrible foursome who doesn't have any golf etiquette. It might take 6 hours to finish the day

This could be such a good course. The layout is interesting and fun. That's where it ends. I keep hearing the course is improving, so I go back and give it another try. I think it gets worse everytime. $47 for the course in this condition is robbery. St. Augustine is in such need for a good course near the downtown area, and this course and The Shores continue to fail. Thankfully we have the county course, or we have to travel.

The course was in fair condition. The Greens were ok but many of the tee boxes you were teeing off in just dirt.

I know the fairway grass is in winter condition but areas did not have much grass.

The cost are in line with similar courses in the area but will not be the case if conditions continue to deteriorate.

First off I think in order to give this course a good review you must play it more than once. It is a shot makers course and very tight fairways. So if you like target golf this may be a course worth seeing. Conditions were ok greens rolled true.

Very good golf, layout interesting, we need to be precise and water is always there, but enjoyed a lot

Every shot rolled off. Lost 4 ballson first three holes

The extremely good course design presents fun challenges. The other reviews about club selection off the tee are spot on. Even I , a lady, didn't use my driver on some par 4s and 5s.

We were lucky the starter got us the course yardages booklet which was sometimes crucial, even though I have a course GPS watch. In addition My phone app ( The Grint) was good until the phone died. I don't think the built-in cart charger outlets were working. The point is, the course places a premium on club selection

The teeing grounds were not good. The greens were very good, and faster than I'd thought they could be. However, I don't think they were 100% consistent to each other. As I've no back spin, that made not much difference. My putting is my forte

Course is tough due to narrowness and slopes besides the woods and water. If you have a slight hook or slice, kiss your ball good-bye. On a positive, I left the course with twice as many balls as when I began, thanks to my trusty ball scooper. Tee boxes - terrible. Fairways - okay. Greens - Better than normal for this course.

Okay except no one out there to keep the pace going

Severely slow especially when we hit the back nine

Selected the course for the price and location relative to our VRBO in St Aug. Entire experience was terrible. Arrived early to get loose and was encouraged to hurry up and tee off to avoid the “big groups” coming. Asked if I could walk — was told we don’t allow walkers. Did as they asked and rushed. At the starter the very gruff man insisted I wait. Made me wait in a particular spot. We had words. He explained “everyone knows him.” Played the front. Got to the grill, and learned they “shut down their kitchen.” Got to 10 tee. Triple stacked. I went home this point. Absolutely pitiful course and system.

I am about a 5 handicap, but I can see that this place would be very VERY hard for a higher handicapper! As long as you don't take yourself too seriously you will enjoy it! But bring a few extra balls and some humility. Greens were good, tee boxes need some TLC. This was my 2598th different golf course played in my life (IG @thequestfor3000), and it is well above the Mendoza line.
