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.

Fun links course but is it “worth the wait”?

Fun Links style course tucked away in the Saint Cloud countryside. Conditions are always above average and it contains 27 holes that gives you plenty of options.

The big drawback of this course is the pace of play. I’ve played here a handful of times now and have never played it under 4 hours and 45 min…

But if you have the time, the rates here still are still well worth the course itself!

Excellent Course for the money

Best course for the value in the area. It’s better than some of the expensive course in the Orlando area. It’s a definite play every time I come to Florida.

Slow - Slow - Slow

It's time to start actually paying someone to do run your golf course. The idea of just having a bunch of volunteers who get free golf for 4 hours of work has run its course (no pun intended). After playing 9 holes in 3 hours, I said something to the starter, and he told me to go play somewhere else. You're clearly overbooking, and you're going to lose your loyal paying customers.

The staff that you pay are great, but your volunteers are rude and don't actually do anything. Do better.

Pretty decent value. Very well maintained

It's beginning of tourist season, so don't expect anything resembling decent pace of play.

Come here if you are OK with a 5 hour round of golf. I don't mind since I'm on vacation.

The course is pretty and the layout and hazards are challenging. The maintenance does an excellent job here, especially with their judicious use of irrigation and good drainage. The grounds crew was constantly going through and cleaning up bunkers and divots. Amazing a course with this volume of golfers looks so good.

I'll be back.

Terrible pace of play trumps everything

We played Red and white nines. After waiting on every shot on the Red nine which took 2 hours and 50 minutes (not a misprint) we waited 15 minutes to tee off on the white nine. When I called the pro shop to ask if they had a ranger and why the pace of play was so slow I was told a ranger would be out. We never saw a ranger! If your idea of a great day of golf is a 5 hour+ round then you should play here. After our round I went into the pro shop and asked if it is always this slow. The counter person said it was and didn’t make any apologies. I can’t imagine ever coming back.

Horribly Slow play

Let me say I appreciate the course keeping its fees in check, however, they seem to overbook which creates long playing times and a lack of available carts. We played in the late afternoon and it took 3 hours to play nine holes. We were so frustrated with the slow play we decided to quit after nine. I’d personally rather pay more to enjoy the round. We won’t be returning any time soon.

Long day

Took over 5 hours to play the white/blue courses. Walking up to the starter everything seemed a little chaotic. We got paired up with a really nice couple Bob and Terri. The course was in decent shape, tee boxes were nice. The greens were fast and flag placement was brutal. Lots of sand everywhere. The biggest problem was trying to find the next hole. It definitely needs to be marked better and better time management on tee times. I probably won’t play this course again.

Nice course but not managed well

This is a decent course and in good shape but allowing groups of five players is unprofessional and not fair to those of us who like to play by the rules. We followed a fivesome and it slowed us down. It was also surprising how you had to keep your head up with players hitting wild shots on other fairways on a course where fairways are pretty generous. Also one ranger was driving around stopping to tell dirty jokes while groups were waiting at tee boxes. We basically told him to get lost. Staff are pretty bush-league here.

Good value for winter golf

I salute RSC for not following the other area courses by keeping Florida winter golf affordable. They keep their fees stable, hence why it’s always busy. This leads to a little slow play but it’s worth it. It would be nice if they will spread out the tees times a bit more. Course in good playable condition. Definitely will return.
