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.

deceiving course

Front nine was so so. Back nine from hole 11 on was a totally different experience. The quarry holes were scenic. Reminded me of courses I played in Pa. I would play the course again just to play the back nine. Greens and fairways are in good shape.

Members Only Club

First to tee off @ 7am, came to #10 had to wait to T off because members had teed off back nine! On 12 there were 3 groups that we had to wait on 1 on T, 1 in fairway, 1 on green! They only care about members !

I won’t B back & would advise nonmembers to not play !

Fake reviews

I hate playing a course that has fake reviews. Clearly, someone has gone into this app and listed multiple reviews , 5 stars, plays a few times a week, no other comments. This is a neighborhood golf corse, easy and boring, but in decent condition. It is not a 4 star, and certainly not a 5 star course.

Nice Course

The greens are in immaculate condition. The fairways are in good shape. Staff are friendly. The people who play their are very friendly. They wave, say hello and everyone seems cheerful. The course has it’s share of water and accuracy is useful for a low score. An enjoyable experience all around. I recommend it.

Manager was rude

We were golf now customers As soon as we walked into the pro shop the manager was immediately rude to us. He then asked if we’re the golf now customers He acted like a

jerk through out the check in process. Regulars at the club told us this was typical behavior. Everyone one else was very friendly.but we will never return
