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.

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.

Monarch at Royal Highlands

Played this course many years ago just after it opened but couldn’t remember much. Good course but needs someone keeping an Eye on the pace of play, we started on the 10th Tee and waited on every shot till the 18th when the 4 Ball in Front went off. The front 9 (our back 9) was played at a better pace (35 Minutes quicker than the first 9 played) The back tees are very small and not in very good condition (Not much choice when teeing Up) but all in all we had a good day.

Overseeing!

No carts allowed on fairways. Course is too long and hilly to not have 90 degree rule. Price was too high for the course condition, including greens. We will not be returning.
