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.

Great course challenges .

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

Same Old - Same Old

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.

Save your money

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.

Enjoyable day, but very difficult track!

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.

Target Golf

Being balls and study the lay out! Lots of target golf shots and strange landing areas. Can be penalized for good shots.

Up and coming course

Greens are nice, fairways are good, tee boxes need work. Almost has a links type feel. Very narrow yet challenging and very playable. Course is spread out very far and they need extra signage for those first time players.

Course is in decent shape overall greens were excellent tee boxes needed some work. There was no Ranger and we had a five some which held up five groups at one point which really kind of stunk because it was a cold windy day.

Course is tight so position is key.

Greens in great shape

Course was packed by slow players which ruined the flow. Greens were in great shape. Rest of the course was in decent shape hit or miss on tee boxes.

All set

There was only People playing the course. They said we had the cost to ourselves which we did. I would not recommend going here. The conditions were not great at all. The green had a lot of disease on them. Greens didn’t have disease did roll good. Conditions around the course were horrible. The person working there was very nice and the bartender. It was no cart girl..
