Cape Royal Golf Club - Queen/King

Staff and beverages and food and beer and everything is way overpriced so if you do happen to play that golf course I’m not recommending it but if you do play bring your own stuff with you in a cooler ,Rangers are very rude

Scenery was very good. Tight fairways was a little tough. No GPS in carts. Not even a sign for a drop zone on par 3 s over water. One hole had a creek running across the fairway right in the landing area of a drive and it wasn’t even marked on the scorecard. Scorecard yardages weren’t the same as the markings on the tee boxes (weird).

For background-

Avid golfer for 30 years;

Ghin 9.0

Have played this course for perhaps 8 times over the last two years.

Always came back because staff is exceptional and layout is fun. And they kept promising new irrigation would improve conditions. Well it hasn’t.

Today is the last time I will play there.

Staff still exceptional

Layout still fun

Pace of play is HORRIBLE as it has mostly been, and there are no rangers.

Conditions were horrible- tee boxes not mowed, and alot of barren areas in the fairways.

Then you have guys playing wearing Carhart T shirts who have no clue about the game and just want to pound beers.

Slow play, poor conditions and no policing the course. Makes for an unenjoyable round for a true golfer.

After the homeowners took over the course the conditions seemed to improve. Now. they seem to be on the decline again. Greens were in fair condition. Fairways were very spotty. and the tee boxes weren't in very good shape.

I tried this course on a recent trip to SW Florida because of an online deal through Golf Now. Would NOT pay full price for the course. Greens were the smallest I have ever seen. Sand traps had shells in them. Playing with rental clubs so who cares?

Shaggy, well worn tee boxes. Greens either not mowed or rolled. Not a lot of info on holes (i.e. yardage book, distance markers on blind tee shots to trouble). Also strange layout with a lot of repetitive holes.

Only stellar point is staff. Very friendly from bag drop to bar. Should turn the focus to course upkeep.

Played with a nice group of guys and had a good time greens were great fairways were good mostly some areas were worn but course was definitely playable and a good deal for the fee

Unfortunately, our tee time was cancelled without us knowing so we drove from south fort Myers up to Cape Coral to play a very wet walking only 9 holes.

It’s a beautiful course and a very nice community, but it has awful awful drainage, no doubt about it. To get 4 inches of rain in SWFL and have to close the course in the beginning of November, you have some real poor drainage.

Play Palmetto Pine or Coral Oaks. Those courses are in great shape for same or less money. Cape Royal has drainage problems and the greens are as hard as a rock and roll forever.. No thanks!

Lots of construction on and off the course, give it a couple years and this will be the place to play!

Eventhough we have had little rain recently the course is still damp, moist , muddy ? In many places
