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.

Course never disappoints

Not much to say. Always in good shape. It is worth the price, especially if you get a hot deal. Only down side is lack of roll due to softer fairways.

First Time Playing

The good, the bad, the best value.

First time playing here. I will definitely be back. Great value. There’s three nine hole courses. So the starter will kind of assign you to which ones you start at etc. I signed up for the “White” and “Blue”. They assigned me to the “Red” and “White”. I don’t know the difference between them so I can’t say I was missing out or got a break. I can say this, I started off on Red. I was extremely impressed with the course conditions. Best I’ve played on in a while. Pace of play was atrocious. Waiting 10 minutes almost every shot. It’s worth it though. For the price. It’s kind of like this. You can have two of three things on every course. Price, quality, and time. This is the great price and great quality course. But you suffer on time. Took almost six hours to finish 18. If you want great conditions and great pace/time? You’re going to pay the price. What can you do? Nothing. Just enjoy what it is. I guess my only gripe was the back nine/White. Pace again was worse than the front/Red, and the greens were fine? But they had been topdtessed pretty vigorously. Just wish I had been told that. Didn’t really effect the putts it was just really annoying to happen upon it and not have it communicated. Yes. I’ll be back. It’s truly a gem of a course. Just be prepared to be wowed by the conditions and let down by the pace.

Pace of play issues

Played at 1:30 on a Friday. So I didn’t expect it to play quickly. Course got us out earlier than tee time. Shotgun had gone out in the morning. Several 5 somes and generally slow play. Eventually gave up after 12 holes.

Course was in good shape and some interesting holes. Blue nine (what we saw of it) was more interesting than red.

Used golf now because course website wasn’t working and pro shop did not pick up phone (two calls - one message went unreturned)

Was still interesting for a non Floridian and good price point.

Links Retreat

This has always been one of our favorite courses to play on vacation. Staff is friendly, course conditions good and plenty of food and beverage options before, during or after the round. Pace of play was a little slow but fun round overall.

Great deal for winter and being an early weekend

$50 for this course in the winter on a weekend is a steal. My only complaint is the greens were so nice and fast I 3-putted more than I wanted to. If I lived closer I would come more often

In good shape

Greens excellent, tees and fairways in good shape. Tees are being over seeded. It is one course I always go back to. Only problem is booking on golf now. Hot deals ok, but singles cannot book if hot deals not available. Must call course.
