Royal St. Cloud Golf Links is well known for being some of the best links-style golf in Orlando. It is home to three unique nines that all closely follow the traditions of classic Scottish links golf. A round of golf at Royal St. Cloud will make you feel as though you’ve been to the British Isles and back. The Red/White golf course has been improved to make it more player-friendly overall, but the classic links challenges are still there. The course features sod and wood-faced bunkers and there are very few trees on the course. Like on any links course, be prepared to use every club in your bag. Royal St. Cloud Golf Links is also home to a lighted driving range and short game area with practice bunkers for golfers to work on their short game.

POOR GREEN DESIGNS

While the course looks good, generally plays well with wide fairways, decent roughs and green grass, the greens themselves are a nightmare.

Most are elevated and virtually all roll off from the center or some other point, and being lightening fast, they are terrible to land and hold. Putting is extremely challenging, and one often ends up rolling well past the pin, and even off the green depending on pin placement. Most of the greens being elevated, approach shots die on the bank in front or roll off on the slanted sides. Could be a great course, but they advertise and write off these deficiencies as clever course design. This is poor design, and will not give most average golfers a fair shot at a good round.

You can't beat the price for this course. Not far from Disney where every other course is around $100.00

Good value

Layout is very open with wide fairways, which is ideal for shaking off the rust from not playing in a while. Staff is friendly and helpful. Driving range, snack bar, and restaurant on the premises. The course was in good shape; no bare spots on the greens and the fairways were in good condition. I play here every year and always enjoy the experience.

Great layout - but sooo busy

Liked the course but it was so busy we had to wait on EVERY tee, needed five hours for the round. Friendliest starter in the state of Florida and the most indifferent (very young) staff in the Proshop. Greens were in poor shape at the end of the end.

Very Consistent

Royal St Cloud definitely has the right formula! The course is ALWAYS in great shape and I’m talking tee boxes, fairways, AND greens. And the price tag is always reasonable. The pace of play was terrible this time around though and seems to be a problem each time we play here. Took us 4 and a half hours this time around. And sadly their golf carts are still trash. Almost as if they get their golf carts from the junk yard. BUT, I love this course with the great conditions and favorable layout. I can deal with the golf carts as long as they run, but they have to fix the pace of play issue.

Royal St Cloud is a very nice course. The greens were very challenging. lots of sand and waste bunkers. Fairways in nice condition.

Best course conditions I've played on in the Kissimmee area!

Course conditions are amazing compared to other courses in the area. The only thing I

lacking was a ranger on the course to make sure everyone was keeping up with the group in front of them. We started on the White course and waited a little bit. We then went to the Blue course and everyone put the breaks on and we waited to make every shot. The group that was 2 ahead of us were a hole and a half behind starting on hole # 5 and never did make any effort to pick up their rate of play. We ended up with a five hour round. Is this what I should expect if I decide to come out and play the course again? Thanks
