About

Monarch Golf Club at Royal Highlands is carved from gently rolling hills located just outside of Orlando in the city of Leesburg. Although the wide fairways are relatively flat, the golf course's terrain provides the greens with gentle undulation. Sparkling lakes provide scenery while also coming into play as water hazards on nine holes. There are also doglegs and bunkers throughout to provide the golf course with even more challenges. Much of the land that the club occupies has been preserved as a wetlands area, offering golfers a glimpse of native wildlife. In addition to its natural beauty, Monarch Golf Club at Royal Highlands is popular due to its accessible layout that accommodates both low and high handicap players.

Short but Fun Course

We discovered Monarch last winter about 30 minutes from The Villages, and played it several times. This winter staying in Kissimmee it's an hour drive, but well worth the trip. The front 9 has lots of water hazards, but none on the back. Playing it from the tips (6000 yards) makes it a challenge with a lot of elevation changes on the back 9. Good course conditions and interesting holes - no 2 the same. We play lots of courses during the 3 months we are in Florida and highly recommend it.

We will be back!!

We played here in 2016 after we moved to Florida. Then we joined a club in 2017 - decided not to rejoin and wanted to play various courses. We really enjoyed this course - fairway and greens were nice. Looking forward to playing there again and again and again!!

Nice golf course

Beware

This golf course does a shot gun start most mornings and afternoons. It worked fine for us. We were just a little surprised.

Freindly staff, nice course

The course was a little short but we played the back tees. The layout was good, greens nice size with some undulation and average speed. The course winds thru the community but isn't boxed in by houses plenty of room for errant shots. Staff were very friendly.
