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.

Surprisingly Tough for a Short Course
Played in the afternoon shotgun, well organized by the staff. Playing partner wanted to play the back tees, pointing out that total yardage was only 6018 from the tips. Even though it's short, the course has some clever design features, forced carries and choked down entries to the fairway off the tee, that make it play much harder than the yardage would indicate, so it was fun and difficult at the same time. Very good fairways and greens, had a great time.
Longer next timne
The course was in great shape. If you're a longer hitter, play the black boxes.
Great Greens
Course is tight on the front, some of the back tees are a little hard to find. Not used much by the residents. Nice elevation changes on the backside. Makes for a fair test as local knowledge helps. Enjoyable day and we'll return.
It was a great Day
Tee to Greens = Course conditions were great
Staff was Friendly and courteous
Great price on Golf Now
the only bummer was it was a shotgun start
Overall nice layout. Course is short but still challenging requiring use of all clubs in the bag.
Top 10 layout in Ocala area
The greens the Fairways the T boxes are in excellent condition they just reseed about a month ago they haven't quite cut the greens down short enough they're very playable if you like a medium that's what they are if you like them fast not yet I would put in my top 10 in the area played 3x already at a decent price will be playing here a lot keep up the good work guys and the hospitality is great all around u will enjoy your experience for sure...by the way shot 76 and I am a 13 handicap...
Course was fun to play.
Monarch is a fun course to play. Some challenging holes but fair. Course was in good condition. And the restaurant is also good.
Can I be a member ?
While a bit off the beaten path in Leesburg the trip up from Orlando was made worth it with the GolfNow price and the very friendly staff. A golfing, retirement community and one look at the clubhouse tells you they take it seriously. Numerous teams and leagues and scheudles and handicaps. A fun course and as vacationing 50-somethings we brought down the average age quite a bit.
Front nine plays around a number of wetlands and ponds, while the back nine is quite open and surprising elevation changes.
Don't miss.
The condition of the course was very good. I will return again.

Gem
We played in good time. The course was in very good condition and the staff was very helpful. Had an eagle on the 6th hole so special place. We'll go back soon!

Good course for high handicap, good fairways and greens
Great layout
I played Monarch at Royal Highlands for the first time. What a treasure, great layout, the course was in excellent condition. Our foursome played the round in four hours, great pace of play.
They had recently reseeded the greens so they were a little slow. I would definitely play the course again.
a good choice
this is a good course similar to 2 other courses,Arlington Ridge and Cranes Roost, in the area south of Leesburg on HWY 27. Course condition was very good and the overall experience there was satisfying. I would be happy to play there again.
Excellent Shape
Course was in excellent shape, both fairways and greens.
Tee times
Bought a 12:38 tee time,but was told at course we would have to wait for a 1pm shotgun start,which was set up for a group of senior citizens that only play 9 holes, you might make a point to ask any golf course you have dealings with,if they have similar programs.Waiting in the heat ,putting on practice green for an extra 22 mins was NOT! what I had planned on
Not too bad c
Just airated the course. Not in to bad of shape.
Royal course
Jim in the pro shop very helpful very nice course my wife rode with me when I played and she liked the course to very nice course the course is challenging but good for every style off player
