Slope 123
Rating 68.9
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.

Needs work.
Course layout was great. Staff super friendly. They have suffered issues with weeds. Tee boxes and fairways have weed issues. The greens over all are in good shape though there are patches with weeds. I got a hot deal for $30 which was well worth it.

Great Course
The best overall public golf course in the area. Great layout, well taken care of and a very good restaurant at the end of your round. Louis runs a great operation. All staff are terrific. Mike and Laura at the front desk are professional and personable. I play virtually every week and I’m never let down. I drive 35 minutes to get to the course.
