Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club

Absolutely love this course. Everything about Royal Lakes is top notch.

Greens

Fairways

Rough cut properly

Bunkers in very good condition

Will be going back soon.

Fun layout very playable and great shape. Greens are good speed some think a bit slow.

I played this course many times in the past. But I never had this bad experience this time. First, I got there about one hour earlier than my t-time to warm up. One of the marshals asked me why I was there so early. I just told him that because I like this course. After I paid my round, I noticed they charged me a credit card surcharge. I never had to pay in the past. So I asked the receptionist when they started charging credit card surcharges. He said about 3 months ago. That’s when all the golf courses are recommending to pay with credit cards due to Covid-19. They are taking advantage of this. Another marshal rushed us to start paying the round. On top of all these, the greens were awe fully slow. Never seen this slow. And then at 18th hole they were watering the green at 5 pm when people were still playing. Never going back to this course.

I’ve played this course once before and absolutely love the layout. Several dog legs which require you to consider your club off of the TV depending what tea boxes you play. The signature hole number 10, part five with island green and what feels to be island like fairway is straightforward and can also be very challenging depending on how you choose to play it. An excellent mix between risk versus reward decision making. Course was in excellent condition, weather couldn’t be better which always helps. The homes surrounding the course are beautiful which provides for a nice backdrop to an already beautiful course/layout.

I didn’t get an opportunity to experience the full amenities as I arrived a little late and didn’t have time to hit range balls. Facility looked really nice and the practice green was representative of the greens on the course and it was a nice large putting green with several undulations to give you a good feel for different scenarios.

Fun course. It is in good shape.

Due to rain, it was cart 0ath only.

However, it was not that bad.

Greens in good shape.

Will play there again many times.

Awesome course. Friendly staff when you get there, great driving range and practice facilities. Conditions are perfect, greens were some of the best I have seen around. Love the wide variety of holes. Some make you lay up and hit iron off the tee, and some allow you to let it rip with driver. That 11th hold with the island green is awesome. My favorite course in the area.

By interesting, I mean, enjoyable and a good test with water in play on a number of holes. In good condition despite overnight rain, fairways in places were a little damp so cart path only, but greens generally were fine. Not consistent as some had been mown and others not but the weather was no doubt to blame for that. And we did have drizzly conditions for the first 6 holes. Initially slow as a single, believe it or not, took it on himself to hold up play until the 11th - playing 2 balls often and playing several putts from the same place on the greens - but when he left we thought we were free and clear. Until that is the South East Asia Fourball who had all the time in the world appeared in front of us at the 15th!

But that did not spoil our day out on a good course that we shall certainly return to and probably enjoy more on a drier day.

This course is one of the best in the area. Right as you enter the property, you'll know you're in for a wonderful experience. The staff is great - very friendly and accommodating. The course was in fantastic shape despite the rains the 2 previous days. The greens were slower than i expected but understandable due to the weather conditions. Layout was great and difficulty was moderate - as long as you can manage your misses, you'll have a shot to the green. Good shots are rewarded while bad shots, well you can still get away with on some holes - key is manage your misses. Familiarity definitely helps. All in all, this course deserves 5 stars! Hats off to Royal Lakes GC!

Finished a great round right at lockdown time. Course was busy but staff had everyone spaced out and pace was pretty good. Greens rolled pretty good for this time of year. Grass is starting to come in good.

Because of the Coronavirus Royal Lakes have raised the golf cups on every golf hole. This is not golf anymore This takes away about 30% of the game away.

I'm not sure how this is preventing the spread of the virus. This is not distancing. i just didn't understand why the course elected to do this.

A few areas of the course is still pretty wet. About the time this course is in prime shape, I’m worried the Coronavirus will have everything closed. Beautiful day to be on the golf course

Great course for the money. I like how they’ve tried to minimize the virus risk. I’d enjoy it if the left the pins above ground after things are back to normal. It improved the pace of everyone.

This course is a great layout for all skill levels. Has some beautiful holes especially around the lake. Risk reward is always in play making you decide whether to play it safe or take a risk and go for the greens.
