Monarch Golf Club at Royal Highlands
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.

Beautiful course
Course played very well and was in great condition. A few blind approach shots presented a fun challenge. Great value round.
Seniors Shoygun Start
We booked the tee time and when we arrived realised we were to form part of the shot gun start competition for the over 55yrs community of which this golf club is a part. This was not an issue for us but did we suspect result in a slow down of the overall pace of play.?
The course was in good condition and had been over seeded the day prior. The greens were good but not quick. Yes we enjoyed our round and would play it again.
Shot Makers only
Nice course! Not super long but you really can’t spray it around much. Tough pin placements and hazards abound to include plent of gators. Will be back soon.
Monarch is average
just average for the course, but no rangers were there to speed up play. There was too much slow play.
Monarch - a gem of a golf course
We really enjoyed our return visit to Monarch, where we received a great welcome from the golf staff and enjoyed coffee before play and drinks afterwards. We started our round in time and had a stress free round in great conditions. I recommend this course to everyone.

Fun course
Very enjoyable course. Staff was extremely friendy. Ate lunch afterwards there and food was good. Only complaint would be the greens were slow. Will definitely come back
Excellent Conditions/Excellent Value
Considering the recent hurricane and the high heat index the course was in excellent shape. Love playing here
SHOTGUN ROUND
PLAYED WTH A FORMER MEMBER AND HS NEIGBOR, SHOTGUN MORNNG ROUND PALED N 3 HRS. GREENS WERE 100% BETTER THEN LAST TME PLAYED THERE IN JULY. KUDOS TO GREENS CREW EVEN ROLLED ABOUT 9.0 WHICH S MUCH BETTER. PRO IS A VERY OUT GONG PERSON GREAT CUSTOMER SERVCE. KEEP UP GOOD WORK
NIce layout
The greens on the back nine are nicer than the front nine. Apparently, the greens had been aerated a couple of weeks earlier. The front nine greens had some bare spots, but still playable. I definitely enjoy playing this course.
Rain did not dampen the fun
Wanted a place to play on my one day off and since I had played here several weeks ago I chose to come again - the Tuesday 7:51 tee time is part of a shotgun start - tremendous fun and a great way to meet new people - this time I was paired with a Pastor and 2 of his congregation (added plus 1 was from my home town Chicago area) - we started on hole 18 and unfortunately the sky opened up when we got to hole 8 - we tried to wait it out, but since there was a massive downpour - the course closed - safety first - I still had a great 9 holes and made some new friends - this course is a must, everything about it is first class, from the front staff to the grounds keepers.
Monarch is always good, the course fits my game just perfect. The pace of play is always fast. The members are like rabbits, You have to hustle to keep up with him. The staff to scrape .
British Open Links style golf at its best
I had a rare day off and wanted to play somewhere near my mother in the villages as we were getting together for lunch. I booked a 7:45 tee time and arrived and was greeted by the very very friendly staff. Interesting enough I was informed that morning golf was a 18 hole scramble. No worries! Was paired with 2 gentlemen who live in the development and so had some insider knowledge of the holes and course throughout the round. We started on hole 6 - it was in stark contrast to most florida courses as it was a reachable (if you dare) par 4 over a lake. The golf became more and more fun as the round progressed. Had a great time will definitely return and play this wonderful course again.
