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.

Temps in the 90's. Greens rolled well and were pretty fast. Course in good shape overall, especially compared to others in the area.

It has been extremely dry the last few months, so all the area courses are hurting. Kudo's to Monarch for keeping conditions very playable.

Interesting course

Interesting and enjoyable course. It is in the short side but has a few challenging holes. They had just overseeded the course when I played so the fairways and greens were not in the best shape, but they should be in excellent shape in the near future. The layout of the course is as good as any other course in the area. Staff is very friendly and the facilities are excellent. I recommend the course to any golfer looking to play in the area. Maybe the course is not as popular as others in the area but very worthwhile to play and enjoy it,

One of My Favorites in CFL

If you golf, there are a lot of choices across Central Florida - for sure! Monarch is a short course, but don't leave your accuracy at home. Super fun layout and there are a few high-risk reward situations that can really make you look like a hero if you can pull them off - like getting on the green in 1 @ Hole #6 or getting on in 2 @ #16. I'm a golfing nomad in this area and this course hasn't disappointed me yet. It rained for the first 4 holes followed by a gorgeous glowing overcast that covered us for the remainder of the round. I will always come back.

Great Time

I really enjoy playing at the Monarchs mainly because of their staff. Today Ralph at the Pro Shop was great and extremely knowledgeable on what was going on. It was definitely a busy morning and Ralph ran it as smooth as you can as for. The course is well maintained and pace of play was set was perfect.
