Boca Royale Golf & Country Club

Staff and golfer assistants were very helpful and accommodating. Other golfers were friendly and pace of play was very reasonable for a busy day. Course condition was not what I remembered from past experiences, greens were beat up and damaged. Tee boxes were sandy and dry like most of the course. Probably wouldn't go back at the current prices, I could find better quality for same price or less

I get that covid has factored into increasing prices but the rates in Florida have increased by approx. 30% as compared to last year. That being said I would not expect to pay full price for a course that has at least one hole under repair which this course did. Also because of Spring, I would say the course quality is at best 75% and last year the course was in better shape at the same time of year. The staff and personnel were friendly and courteous.

Layout- nothing special, lacking a signature hole

Overall Condition

Cartpaths 3 avg.

Tee boxes 2.5 hard as concrete concrete and not maintained

Rough 2.5 many areas under repair and not mowed

First cut 3 just okay

Fairways 3.75 better than alot in the area

Approaches

4 pretty good

Greens 3.25

Slick and quick rolling about 11 relatively smooth and true

Many under repair with sickness and disease

It's worth $45 a round but $85 is a big stretch based on conditions.

Bag drop staff is super friendly and helpful.

Should have discounted fees. 10th hole under repair. Par 4 112 yards. A lot of greens were under repair. Not worth $105.

Overpriced considering there isn’t a driving range to warm up and 1 par 4 (10th hole) is under repair and is being played as a par 3 and a temporary tee box.

Decent course layout. A bit tight. Greens in very good shape and were quick.

In a pinch, if this was the only option that fits your schedule, then do it. But Consider other options

Pace of play was terrible

So slow that we quit after 7 holes

Deadpan fairways, green edges buried with leaves @ 11am, 1starter and no ranger made this a very unpleasant day. Understanding the fact no rain in a while factors but adjust the price to conditions.

Just a shame.

Enjoyed the overall experience of the course. Greens were top dressed but fair. Not a long course but at 6300 from the tips the challenging fairway bunkers and water hazards make for accuracy off the tee and on approach shots. Lots of birds on the course for nature observers. Starter was very informative. The sandwiches we ordered from the beverage cart came promptly prepared from the clubhouse and we’re delicious.

I would play this course again.

Played on a Sunday in under 4 hours. Were able to take advantage of a Sunday Brunch priced at $22 . A really perfect Sunday.

If this private course is going to invite the public, the staff should learn to smile and be nice. The Pro-Shop guy was friendly and welcoming but the STARTER was rude and a woman staff member was even more rude when she pointed out that the driving range was for MEMBERS ONLY. There are nice ways to deliver the info.

Greens were great. Fairways not.

Pace of play 4 1/2 to 5 hours. No ranger

Temporary hole and no driving range

A couple years ago this was a great place to play. It’s been inder construction for over a year and is pretty rough. No range, the chipping green is laughable, and the pro shop staff acts lime you are lick to play there as if it’s Augusta or something. Now they’re charging MORE money for what is without question the worst course in the Venice/Englewood area? No thanks.

For the amount of money per round, you should include warming up at the range. Nowhere did I see that the range was not available to use.The person in the pro show not helpful nor friendly. The person who loaded my clubs on my cart was delightful and extremely helpful.
