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.

Great Day.

Club and Pro Shop very busy every thing was very organized and on time. Pro shop staff got everyone checked in and paid in great time. Starter was very professional, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. Mandy in the concession stand was awesome as well as the young lady in the beverage cart. We met some friends from out of state and had a great day.. we will be back.

Great course, very helpful staff.

Starter went above and beyond to pair me up on a busy Saturday even though I was 3 hours early for my tee time (long story). Thank you!!

Not recommended unless you’re into a 5 and a half hour round

There are signs everywhere, including on your receipt, about slow play. Does not matter, nobody reads them or abides by them. They even have a ranger that did absolutely nothing to speed up play. The worst part was when we made the turn to play the second 9, they had sent a twosome out in between us and the foursome we had been following !! The twosome, which were beginning golfers, had told us the starter sent them out in front of us. Terrible course management! We come down to Florida from Pennsylvania 3 to 4 times a year and play a lot on golf. We never had to endure a 5 1/2 round any where we’ve played down here and the staff just didn’t care. Also the started (which is outside the pro shop and not on any starting hole) gave us zero information, not even where the first hole was! Suffice to say we will not be back and would never recommend this course

Pace is Much Improved

I gave them one final chance to see if the pace was back to something that was even reasonable. All the previous reviews about 3 hour 9s or 5+ hour 18s were completely true. Played yesterday in just about 4 hours, now if only the starters weren't

First Time - Great Course

A friend recommended this course and finally had an opportunity to play. It did not disappoint and met all of the expectations. We’ll definitely return and look forward to the next round.

Glacial Pace

Very fun course, but tee times every 8 minutes is ludicrous. Waited 4-8 minutes every single shot. You simply can’t have that many tee times with many beginners and expect acceptable pace of play.

Absolutely poor

When we got there and checked in I asked the starter for a cart. They said they couldn’t give us one till the tee time so we had to walk over to the range to hit balls. When I asked the starter what the pace of play was he looked at the guy next to him and said that’s a very good question. Then we didn’t started till 20 minutes after our scheduled tee time.

We only played 9 holes out of the 18 because it took us 3 hours to ONLY play 9 holes. The course was not in good condition at all and the facilities were very dirty. I will NEVER go back to this course again.

Pace of play

First time we golfed there. Course was amazing and in great condition. The only negative was that it took 5 hours to finish the round. Marshals should be out there monitoring more often. Group in front of us waited until the group in front was off the green before they teed off. Very frustrating.

First time here and pleasantly surprised. Front nine was very crowded and took longer than usual, but it was a Sunday afternoon. Will try to play on a weekday next time in warmer weather. Will definitely be back!

Great value

Played here several times this year. Course was a little beaten up this time. Greens still rolled true. Fun layout. Pace was slower than previous experiences. Definitely will play again.
