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.

Must play this one again

First time playing this one found it to be surprisingly pleasant round was paired with a great guy(his first also). Greens are in great shape fairways cared for. This was great value for the $15 @ 8:30a, also got to start was done before 12a. Had good round in the 10-15mph wind and a little cool got good carry off drive.

Similar to Tampa Bay Golf & CC & Plantations @ Leesburg Cranes Roost course.

12:44 tee time. Great hot deal price. Teamed up w/ nice 3-some that bought the other hot deal spots. Nice clubhouse & Pro shop that's well stocked w/ merchandise. Course is short, 6000 yds from back tees, but challenging w/ some unique & picturesque holes. Tee boxes & fairways plush. Roughs low so errant shots can be spotted quickly. Small to medium sized elevated greens that roll true but inconsistent w/ speed, ranging from mostly medium paced to slow paced. Will play again.

Back 9 greens were in better condition than front.

Fairway grass was mowed very short. The greens on the front 9 had bad spots with other grasses growing on them and bare spots. They are usually in much better condition.

A bit on the easy side but interesting questions.

I play numerous moderate priced courses in the Clermont/Leesburg area of Florida and this course is better maintained than all others I have played.

Royal Monarch

This course is one of the best maintained courses that we have played for some time. The greens are superb and run true, and whilst the overall length isn't demanding some of the holes are challenging in their layout. Overall a great day out, and all the staff were super friendly. Thank you.

Very good. Challenging.

Well maintained course. Variety of obstacles: water, bushes, sand traps, hills, line of sight, nature preserve areas. Good putting practice area with ondulations, resemble the actual greens. Very good facilities: drinking water, ball & clubs cleaning stations and rest rooms. Excellent carts.

The course is in better than average condition.

I like this course. I do play it quiet regularly. The staff is always friendly. The course had just been airated but not in too bad condition for that being done. I like it because it is always in cood condition and it is geared to seniors meaning it is not too long. You do have a choice of playing the tips at 6,000 yards

Nice course for good scoring

This is a fairly short course so you can score well if you hit it straight. The conditions were good.

I played as a single and was behind a foursome of older ladies for the entire front nine as they would not let you through. That is the risk you take playing as a single I guess.

If I play here again, I would bring my wife. It is the type of course she would enjoy.

Great Course orginial pricing to high great deal on golf now

This course is great to play, I'm happy that Golf Now has this course for a discount price because the course is a little high being in Florida and there is so many other course that is better for the price they charge. Other than the regular fee for the course I would love to play it again if I can get it on golf now for the discounted price.

Greens had been verified with no warning

This is a relatively nice course in the area and I thoroughly enjoyed my round. The only negative was the greens had been recently aerified with no notice from GolfNow. The super friendly lady at the desk asked if the tee time had given the alert and was upset when I said no as she claimed that they had been notified. Played with a member and enjoyed the round in the pm felt like we had the course to ourselves. His local knowledge helped me greatly. I will be back especially if I can pick up another Hot Deal for $11.00.

Nice Tract

The course in very good condition as of mid April. Good pace of play, Very fair tee boxes for the Ladies and Seniors. It is not the toughest course you will ever play but has enough features to keep it interesting. Had a great time, try it you will too!! Only strange thing was they lock their bathrooms and they never gave us the combination in the Pro shop at check in. Be sure to ask as it does not print out on a Golf Now reciept.

Beautiful area.

The golf course and the homes are very well maintained. Homes are laid out beautifully. They set back a good distance from the course. Distance is great for lady golfers and seniors. The scenery is excellent.

I already recommended the course to friends.
