Cape Royal Golf Club - King/Prince

On the parking lot I saw just a few cars, which surprised me. I've expected alot more like two, three, five years ago.

The guy - in the mid thirties - where I checked in wasnot friendly at all. He hardly looked at me, just did his job.

The club house, bar, restooms and proshop where in e weak condition.

The senior who was the starter, however, was very friendly and helpful!

The green were in good condition, the fairways were dry, even though the have a lot of water.

As I knew from playing years before, you can't see and estimate water before you have arrived. So you might have a good stroke, but will end up in water....surprise!

The sketches the tee bixes don't show water properly in many cases.

After we've finshed (we were a twosome) at 3:58 pm, we wanted to have a drink at the bar an offical told us: "The bar has just losed" and it was ahot day...

In summary, the whole golf club has substantially gotten worse during the past two years. At a lot of areas I got the impression, they've run out of money and can't fix it.

I hate to say that this formerly nice club has to change a lot and turn the sad tendency around. Good look!

We Love this place. 27 holes. Greens in great conditions. Will come back soon.

The course was in very good shape. the ball rolled very well in the greens.The course rewards goods shots on or near the fairway. It can severely punish you for bad hits. The greens were sandy at som espots to cover some problem. Overall the course ws in great shape and fun to play.

Love the course. Depending on your tees there can be a lot of water that you have to go over.

Have played Royal Tee several times in past years but this time the course was absolutely in the worst shape I have ever seen it in. They must have stopped or cut back fertilization and grounds keeping. Wild grass, weeds, and the greens had been aerated way to deep and it was like playing on a $10 public course.

We still enjoyed playing and trying to avoid the bare spots and lots and lots of water, which was fun.

Bottom line, the course is over worked, under kept but still fun to play

Played Queen and King courses

Have played 3-4 courses in the area and some of them cost far less and were in far better condition. Many bunkers on the Queen course were muddy,packed down and either stoney or shelly. Many Fairways had very little or very short grass and were quite hard as were the numerous sandy greens. No real rain lately so can't understand the conditions issues for mid March. Would not play here again this season due to the course conditions to price value.

Not to Bad,

Driving Range to expensive

Heavy rains the night cause course to wet & muddy.
Bunkers were hard & standing water. No run out on drives & course management is the rule of the day.

Too much money for a 30 dollar course!!

fairways were decent
rough was very wet
greens in poor shape lots of sand
tee boxes were decent
some bunkers need work

Greens were more sand than green could stand more care

I know there's been a lot of rain lately but there was several areas where we had .to drive through water to get to the next tee box. The golf cart paths are very narrow too. Hate the Queen course!

I will start this review out by saying that this course has a GREAT layout and I would recommend it if it were well taken care of. Having said that, we played Queen/King layout Saturday morning around 8am. The greens had been punched and top-dressed the day before. Maintenance was being performed on holes 1-4 and the greens were completely unplayable. The grounds crew were still working on the course and the proshop/starter had no idea. On top of this, many holes were flooded and it was cart path only. The Queen 9 was a mess but the King 9 was in decent shape. A course with 27 holes should have better planning when it comes to which combination of 9's they send golfers out on and which are unplayable.

good course, nice layout, average condition, excellent pace of play, excellent reception from staff

Two trips to Royal Tee over two weeks. Both times we had a one pm tee time. The course was ridiculously over booked. The first day we left after being told we may get out butt woot two thirty. The next week we stayed. Three tee times for every time slot. All of us going off queen. Line up five deep at one thirty. Teed it up at two. Even though we had booked for 18, we quit due to darkness after 13. We will be back.

Showed up 15 minutes prior to tee time. Course ran out of carts. Waited 30 minutes for a cart (about 3 4-somes were waiting before we got in line). Got going about 40 minutes late. Nothing about this course will make a positive impression on you. Not terrible but not much.

No carts , Tee time of 10:30 changed to 11:45waited till 12:35 to get a Tee.Start with cart. So now we are off just to wait after every shot. ( no ranger to speed up play). Let's talk Greens. I wonder what year they had a top dressing. And now the bunkers >> no drainage, no sand just hard pack mud. Avoid this coarse at this time

I booked tee time at 1:00. When I got there I checked in and had to wait along with 5 other par of golfers who had a 1:00 tee time. The reason we had to wait was because they ran out of golf carts, we had to wait for 45 minutes for a cart. We were never compensated for the inconvenience. If your going to run a course u need to make sure u have enough carts. When we got our cart we started play on the prince course. I couldn't believe how bad the greens were along with the course itself. There was a lot of water in the sand boxes and on the cart paths. It's unfortunate I had to pay to play on this course. I'm glad I booked it on golf now and got a deal and didn't pay full price for this horrible experience. This was my first time and I will not come back to play for the price they are asking. I would not recommend this course. Some sort of compensation should have been given.

Arrived for our 1:15 tee time only to find the course was massively over booked. They blamed Golf Now. There were no carts, so we had to wait for someone to bring one in. Finally, got on the 1st tee at 2:23 with a dirty cart that had someone else's trash in it and a battery that needed charging. Had to wait on every shot because the course was so packed. Due to drainage issues there was water and mud everywhere. The greens had bad spots. And, the traps have either shells, stones, or water in them. The mosquitos nearly ate us up on #7 and 8 on the Queen. So, after 9 miserable holes and a cart that would barely make it in...we quit! It could have been worse though. I met a guy at the bag rack that had a 10:20 tee time who didn't get out till 12:15 and had just finished 18 holes. He said he was never coming back.
The employees are friendly and the course layout is very nice. The surrounding homes are very nice. But the Members need a new Manager and a Course Superintendent to get this place to the level it belongs. For now, play elsewhere.

First time to play and was very pleased . Good value for the money. Lots of lakes but not big concern just nice to look at. Its a course that has some holes you would play different next time. The 2 guys played from the white and was plenty of challenge. The 2 women played from the red and they were very fair and they enjoyed themselves. Will definitely return.
