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.

If you wanna play a 6 hr round of golf this is your spot

Man i love this course so much but the organization is atrocious. Took us 3 hrs to get thru 9 holes, even skipped the first par 3 because it took the guys in front of us 45 minutes to finish two holes. We decided to play a different 9 on the back where there was no one and finished that in an hr and 15 minutes. This is my 3rd time going here and every time its the slowest round ive ever played. This was on a Tuesday, when i went on a weekend we just quit early, wasnt worth being there. The course its self is next level with amazing greens.

Rocky start but good finish

My tee time was 0636 which unfortunately is 30 minutes before sun rise. That meant that our first 3 holes were played in the dark. Golf is hard enough in daylight but in darkness, forget about it. Once the sun was up it was a great day on a well conditioned course. The pro shop and starters were unfazed and uninterested in my complaints. The far too early tee times tarnished an otherwise good day.

Course in great condition

RSC is in great shape for the amount of play they go through. Unlike other area courses, they also are not taking advantage with outrageous green fees.

Will certainly play it again.

Loved it after the initial slight disappointment!

I’ll be honest with you… my heart sank when the starter said that a group of 5 we’re playing in front of us. At that same time someone told the starter that there was a group of 5… and a group of 6 already out there. I’m from Scotland… you play in 4’s… because everything gets backed up if you don’t and it’s not a fun experience for those behiind. On the other side of the coin.. I loved the course, greens were great and it was a fun links course set up! I would like to play it again… but with only a 4 in front!

Best on Orlando's south side

Very nice Florida course.

A few very clever holes. Some real surprising breaks on the greens

Price was below average for this part of the country.

They move a lot of golfers through in one day.

Sunset was at 6:30. You probably could do 18 beginning at 3pm. The course emptied as the day went on.

Best of the best

27 of the best holes in Central Florida. Immaculate shape, great service. Bill, Doug and the crew put a lot of effort into making this one of the most affordable and top quality options in the area. I'm part of a big group that regularly hosts tournaments there. There's a reason for this.

Great first experience

Played the course for the first time based on a recommendation from a friend. Great value. At a time when other courses are $100 per round, Royal St. Cloud was well worth the drive. Course was full, and we had a late tee time, but still got the round in before sunset. Course was in great condition. Was paired with a single who was fun to play with. We'll be back.

Nice Layout

I thought the course had a nice layout. I ending up using nearly every club in my bag. The green speeds were medium fast to fast. The teeing areas, greens and fairways were all in good condition. The rough was a little low, but that's what you usually get this time of year in Orlando.

I only paid $49 for the round through Golf Now. which is much less then I've paid for other coures in Orlando that were not nearly as good as Royal St. Clould. It's certainly worth the slightly longer drive. It's the best value for the money by far that I have found in Orlando.
