Boca Royale Golf & Country Club

The fairways had very little grass, so most lies were very tight. When we got to hole 10, we could not find the tee boxes, even though we had played the course last year. Couldn't find anyone around to give us directions so we went into the bar and they told us that they had moved the tees way up. They had actually turned the par 4 into a short par 3, like 120 yards, so the slope and rating is not correct on the card. With fees and taxes we paid nearly $80...... this is not a $80 course.

The course is not overly long or difficult. We played in under four hours. The grass is sparse in some places. The grass on the greens seemed to putt different on the front versus the back.

Very disappointed with conditions. Tee boxes were average, fairways very poor and thin, greens were good. Sad for a course that should better than most.

Our flight arrived that morning from zero degree Chicago, and while it was unseasonably cold in FL, it still felt pretty darn good. Staff was friendly. Tough little course where accuracy is required, of which I had little. The back nine it was 55 degrees and rainy, but we loved every minute. When we returned the carts they said we were the only ones on the course the last hour and a half. I guess nobody in FL needs to golf in weather like that, so why would they? Nice staff. We had fun.

Enjoyable round. Met good group that joined up with. Green very good. Fast need to be below hole. Fairways pretty rough shape. Overall had good time. Little pricey for course condition but it is peak season. Would go back

Fairways extremely short lots of role but hard to hit fairway woods almost like hitting off a dirt cart path. Greens pretty fast but a lot of bad spots on some greens.

The greens were nice but the fairways were awful. Barely any grass.

Informed of a 5:30 pm cart return policy when checking in, practice range restricted to members only , overcharged for a round that could not be completed., course condition mediocre, will not be back

The cart guy yelled at us when we first got there. The office clerk told a player in our group to tuck his shirt in. The problem was the gentleman was on a portable oxygen tank and was unable to tuck it in. The starter sent out early and said you have no time to practice. Also I asked him for a score card he said we short on them so you can’t have one.

First off, the starter yesterday (2/27/22 1 p.m.) needed to take some happy pills. He went to assist some folks having a cart issue on the very first hole. He came back ranting, “YOU DON’T HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO MAKE THESE CARTS GO!”. I felt sorry for the folks he was supposed to be helping. He also was confused and rude because we showed up 30 minutes before our time. Not the guy I want as first impression of my club kinda guy.

Second, What the heck are they thinking making #10 a 100 yard par 3? They had land in the back if they wanted to reroute the course. Instead they’re squeezing in a few more home sites.

Third, what with the “carts have to be in by 5:30” b.s.? If you sell me a green fee, I expect to finish my round or play till dark. Period. If you can’t staff the place with someone to stay till we’re done, you’ve got HUGE issues. I worked as an assistant pro for years and we stayed till everyone was done. If you’re going to have this policy, perhaps you should clearly state that when I’m making a tee time?

Fourth - the greens were magnificent. BRAVO.

Lastly, how some water, fertilizer, over seed on the fairways?

Standard of the past not met due to changes in course lay out.
