Royal St. Cloud Golf Links is home to three unique nines, all of which replicate the feel of a classic links course much like the world-famous Old Course at St. Andrews. The Blue/Red golf course features sod bunkers and wood-faced bunkers stacked in true Scottish tradition. In keeping with the links style, there are very few trees throughout Royal St. Cloud Golf Links. The Red nine was enhanced though to make a more player-friendly round. Golfers of any skill level can find their place on the golf course, but be prepared to use every club in your bag. There are also extensive practice facilities including a putting green, short game area with practice bunkers, and a lighted driving range.

Good value for winter golf

I salute RSC for not following the other area courses by keeping Florida winter golf affordable. They keep their fees stable, hence why it’s always busy. This leads to a little slow play but it’s worth it. It would be nice if they will spread out the tees times a bit more. Course in good playable condition. Definitely will return.

Great Value

We were visiting family in the Orlando area, and decided to give Royal St. Cloud a try. The course is a great value in the area, and playing conditions were good. Friendly staff got us oriented, and we were very fortunate to play with two locals, Rick & Farley, who showed us the course ropes. They tolerated our play which was not so great that day. Thanks guys! Weather was fantastic. Would definitely play here again.

First timers at St Cloud

Coming from the UK we are used to links golf. This is Florida ´s version but no less enjoyable for that. Looked really busy when we arrived and had seen previous comments about slow play. However we got round in 4.15 hours and would have been quicker except for a group of guys who stopped play to make/take very important phone calls (we have a word for that in Yorkshire). Other than that the course was interesting, fair and in pretty good condition with good greens. So well done St Cloud - don’t know why we haven’t played you before over the last 20 years of coming hear but would definitely do again.

challenging and fun

We played all 27 holes Royal St. Cloud has to offer. The Red nine is a bit tighter than the White and Blue nines, but all were playable and offered a good challenge for our group. The courses were packed, so play was a bit slow at times, but overall, we had an excellent experience. Saw a few cranes and other birds, and a gator watched me birdie No. 3 on the White nine.

This course needs a little more help.

This is one of my favorite courses that I only get to play once or twice a year. No ranger and a slow group in front of us slowed play to a five hour round. Also, the men's room was not clean. The winter had been rough on the course and it wasn't quite up to its usual condition. I appreciate how they have kept prices reasonable and staff is always helpful and friendly. I hate that I can't give it a five star rating but if I"m being honest, four stars are the best I can do.

Best DEAL in Orlando

First time playing this course and the warnings were loud and clear. . .the pace of play can be abysmal according to many. Everything else was positive so like any review, don't we have to take it with a little bit salt?

My tee time was 6:36am and it was dark when I pulled into the parking lot, but it was buzzing. I assumed I was in the first group, but it turns out that four foursomes were already out on the course! The reception was warm and inviting. although it was pretty clear that most of the folks buzzing around were members of the course.

As a single, you never know who you're grouped with and in this case, maybe three of the nicest guys you can hope to meet on a golf course and they were a regular group, but welcomed me like I had been playing with them for years. That alone makes or breaks a round.

So this time around I was in FL for a work trip, but we had just completed our annual guys to trip to Orlando two weeks and prior and I'm not telling anyone anything they're not seeing. The rates are out of control! I don't mind paying $200+ rounds when it's worth it, but it just seems that every "nice course is charging something in that neighborhood because they can and I don't blame them. They're a business. Then you have this gem. $55! 100% as good as courses we played a couple of weeks ago for 2-4X that amount.

$55. Great conditions, staff, members, and pace of play (3:45) for the cost makes this the STEAL in all of Orlando. Now had I teed off after 10:00am, I can't guarantee the same good feelings.
