Royal St. Cloud Golf Links - Blue/Red Course

I play here whenever I am in Orlando-has a rep for slow play, I avoid that by playing early and mid week. Layout is nice, not a bunch of repetitive holes, have never had any issues with the staff, they have always been great.

Greens are fantastic!! Everything else is great too but the greens are so consistent making easier too putt but harder to hit long irons and hold greens which is fun..

Course and conditions are awesome. Only think I would ask is cold water in the water stations. Tees off at 9:30 and all the coolers were warm water. Maybe add some ice but golf was great played all 27 holes

Was looking for a lower priced course after playing Hawks Landing and came across Royal St Cloud. After reading a few reviews I was a bit apprehensive. A few complaints but chalked it up to “complainers”. Took a shot and glad we did.

Played the “blue/red” nines and loved the layout. Course was in great shape. Green rolled true and really quick.

The staff in the pro shop and starter were super friendly. They even offered us to go out and play the “whites” for no charge. Nice touch for sure. Even the grounds crew took the time to chat and say hi. One even followed us up the fairway after I drove the short or 4 (little brag)

We played the first 18 in 3 hours flat starting at 7:30. The third 9 was a bit slower at 2 1/2 hours.

I have never seen so many rabbits on a golf course, they were everywhere. And lots of other wildlife. Birds and turtles etc.

I would recommend this course to everyone. I’m a 7 handicap and play 2-3 times a week in Canada.

Thanks again Royal St Cloud

We played as a twosome, scheduled a tee time about 2 weeks in advance, and when we arrived were told we'd have to play on another course due to a tournament. We were shifted around due to this tournament, which caused us to feel rushed by others also having to play the course. It was disappointing to pay $60 per person to be crammed into a tournament which was given priority, and the red course we played twice was not in good condition. Overall, really disappointed with our round regarding this situation and won't play this course for a while.

Course was very good.

Reservation w/ GolfNow had an issue. It was not forwarded to Royal St Cloud. My reservation was cancelled one day before schedule of play.

It was resolved after phone calls to GolfNow.

It was still annoying and frustrating.

Course was in reasonable shape given the high rate of play. Greens were a bit slower than last time I played but rolled true.

Turned to be told course had only opened 5 mins ago so at least we got to play. Red/White this time. This course was always a favourite of ours but the added waste areas make it look scruffy.

Really good course with good challenging layout for all levels. Nice change of tees on blue and red. Pace of play slow on first nine but better on second nine as we just dodged a competition so no-one in front. Marshall needs to keep golfers to the pace expected. We scored all aspects nearly 5 apart from the food and the restrooms. Food and drink offer is extremely limited for such a nice club and course - needs improvement. The restrooms on the course are a total disgrace - filthy, smelling and not clean. No facility to even wash hands. Water facilities on the course not working and disgusting tasting water - a health hazard.

There were 2 fivesomes ahead of us not happy made for slow play Most courses don’t allow this.

We played the course on Friday afternoon, so take this for what it’s worth.

However, I have never seen this type of chaos on a golf course. We were directed to start on the red tees. When we rolled up, there were already 4 groups waiting to tee off on the reds, with an additional 4-5 groups on the first two holes. We eventually started on the white course, and played 9 holes in about two hours. Then, we tried the blue course and that’s when it really went downhill. By the time we got to the third hole, there were literally 6 groups on holes 3 & 4. I have never seen multiple groups waiting to tee off like that in my life. Needless to say, we threw in the towel and left.

The course in itself was in pretty good shape, and the greens were well kept. They were a little slow from an earlier rain storm, still, not bad.

RSC has the potential to be a nice course, IF there is some direction from management

A bit disappointed. Paid for range balls but had to wait for buggy and was then rushed to the tee. Had to leave more than half of the range balls and rushed start not great.

Areas of wasteland been added since we were last here and not sure it enhances the course.

Quite slow round but was ok.

Found marshall a bit unhelpful but other staff were great.

Coming back Monday so hoping it will be less hectic.
