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.

Beautiful Course, Could be Even Better

Gorgeous course, really is like playing in Europe. Immaculate conditions and really nice staff. My only knock for the four star, while it didnt happen to my group and we played fast, the 8 minute back to back and ability to let 6-8 somes on (which we did see) really does give a big minus to the experience. If this were a real “semi-private” feel, they should up the prices and allow for less course coverage. Too nice of a course to shotgun off the different 9s.

Slow!

I will try this course again in the spring or next fall. when it might not be as crowded because it is a gem.

But the pace of play is not for me. We went off at 1 :10 and quit around 6 after playing 16 holes.

They send groups out very 8 minutes and it puts too many golfers on the course. On every hole we were waiting for the foursome ahead of us to tee off. And on every second shot we were waiting for them to clear the green. They were doing the same. For me, it detracts greatly from how I experience a golf course.

Great layout and in terrific shape. Very reasonable green fees. And the staff very friendly and helpful.

Terrible pace of play

5 and a half hours to play… teed off on time at 10:30 but 5 hour and 30 minutes to play is ridiculous

27 Club

I played the Red Side and White Side. (There are 27 holes). It was a little crowded, but that is expected. Almost couldn’t find a spot on the range, possibly because there was a promo session?…. Idk. Also they were hosting First Tee on this day so the p green was a little crowded in the afternoon, but kudos. Bar was cool. They have 10 oz. beer mugs. Very cool. Plenty of taps.

GREAT value

The course is a bit of a hike from Orlando and Disney vacation areas, but absolutely worth it. One of the best vales for the money in Central FL. Excellent conditions and layout. I honestly can't believe they aren't charging 50% or more!

A five star gem

Other than what the pros play, you cannot find a better golf course. The fairways were exceptionally good and. the tees and greens were the best that I have recently played. The weather was beautiful which made it a perfect golfing day

Royal St Cloud Golf Course

We have played this course many times over the years and in my opinion it is the best it’s ever been. Lots of work done on the course including many waste areas/bunkers which give the course better definition. We played the White/Blue with 2 American Guys (Chuck & Jimmy) who were great company making it a very enjoyable round.

Royal St Cloud Debut

First time playing Royal St Cloud. I was impressed with the course, staff and overall condition of the course.

Playing a course a first time is always more challenging.

But I would like to go back and play it again soon so I can avoid a couple of the mistakes I made not knowing where I was going a couple of times.:

Love all 3 nines

I love playing all 3 nine's here at this course. I would love to just play 27 or 36 holes command it's always so busy, and pretty far away from where I am. Truly, truly has the feeling of playing in Europe. The way they have it conditioned, just makes you feel like you are actually there. And the wind helps with that feeling.

Nice course, good value

Course conditions were good for this time of year. Greens rolled true but were a little slower than other times I've played there. Will definitely play again.

OUTSTANDING value

I play frequently in the Orlando area. I'm a scratch golfer and picky. There is no better value for the money in central Florida! Fast smooth greens, good fairways, and no slow play.

Place is a gem!

Nice course but staff is bad

No water on course. Told they forgot to put it out. Snack bar closed. Told employee didn’t show. Took three call to restaurant for someone to answer. Then 20 minutes to get food at turn. Had to let a group through while we waited. Called food in on eighth fairway. All employees in pro shop on their cell phones. No bar tender for 20 minutes. Cart girl came around and she seemed to care about service . This place has a serious management problem.
