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.

Very Nice Course

Very nice course. Fairways and greens were all in very good condition. The course played well. Ball cleaners on every tee, which I believe is the first I have seen in a long time. I appreciated that ammenity. Looking forward to playing the course again.

Impressed!

This course is one of the few that my brother and I like to play at least once a month. As someone who works in the golf maintenance profession, I was impressed with the condition of the course for this time of year. The over-seed looks to have gone well, and aside from a few weeds on one of the greens, the over-all condition of the course will not disappoint anyone looking for a fun round during the holidays. My thanks to the superintendent and his crew! The clubhouse staff were friendly and one of the rangers politely warned us of previous snake activity in a brushy area surrounding a small swamp into which I had pulled my tee shot. (I did retrieve my ball with no snake sighting)
There were however a few distractions around the course. It appeared that one homeowner was having some tree branches trimmed and the chainsaw they were using some 20 feet from the tee box was deafening to say the least. On another hole someone was watching television on their back porch. I guess they enjoy their "programs" with the volume turned all the way up. (Or they had some branch removal work done recently as well)
Of course those are things you could encounter on a Saturday afternoon most anywhere. I'll be booking another tee time there again very soon.

Nice Course

The course was in good condition, although the fairways were over-seeded and carts only alllowed in the rough. Greens were OK, a bit slow due to not having been cut. Would go and play again. The only negative was that we were given a tee-time at the same time as a tournament started. As a result we had to tee-off from the 13th tee. Would have thought that if a tournament takes place they should not have given individual tee times. The same at the club house after the round. Due to the tournament there was no food available as they were catering for the group.

NIce course, a little short for those under 55.

Course had recently been seeded, so we were told to stay in the rough with the carts. Which was no problem, until we were chastised by one of the residents for not use the side of the course where the cart path was. Being our first time on the course and since the cart path is not continueous, it was really annoying to get yelled at for an honest mistake.

Nice course, very good condition, reasonably priced.

The Monarch course is always in good to excellent condition. The greens were a little slower yesterday than what I was used to playing up north during the summer, but the course is in great shape, the staff is very friendly, and there is great value for the money.

Take an extra club on the par 3s

Tees are not level. Sand traps require attention.
Long distance between 14th and 15th holes.
Require a road map to see where next hole is.
Also from 16th green to 17th tee.
