Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club
About
Located in Florida’s oldest city, Royal St. Augustine Golf & Country Club offers a glimpse of the area’s lush foliage and native marshlands. The course has a visually interesting layout with elevated, sprawling greens and a variety of bunker shapes and sizes. The moguled fairways and sandy waste areas are two other distinguishing features of the course. It is a tight course with large greens and gentle undulations. The layout provides a “target-golf” experience that puts a premium on accuracy and distance control. The numerous bends in the course in combination with the blustery winds also makes proper club selection very important.

Terrible Course Conditions
The course is a great layout but the conditions were terrible. Weeds all through the fairway, greens the worse in Jacksonville and St Augustine, bunkers not raked and full of water. The course has potential but needs a lot of work done. Would NOT recommend!!
Challenging
It is definitely a hard course and lost a lot of balls. But I liked the challenge. I feel as though it is not a well maintained course and many greens were in bad shape. The cost is comparable to well kept courses so maybe they should lower their prices if they are not going to maintain them
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize that you were not satisfied with the condition of the course during your visit. We have a new superintendent and expect course to get better within in the next 6 months!
Great staff, awful course conditions
I played this course while on vacation and the course was in terrible condition. All tee boxes had sand all over them and weeds all over the fairways. One of the holes u have to hit a 9 iron/PW in order to layup and not hit a house to get to the hole, layout was just weird. Greens were even worse. Patches all over the place and weeds or sand patches all over the place. Staff was amazing, but course conditions were one of the worst I’ve seen.

Awful greens
The course layout itself was interesting. Pretty challenging and fun. But the greens were so bad it ruined my game. There’s sand all over them which makes it almost impossible to get a read. Would not play this course again.

Worst course I’ve ever played
I wouldn’t pay $10 to play here. The greens are dusty. The fairways look better than the greens. I didn’t play 1 good green. I read the reviews before I played and i thought it could be that bad. I was wrong. If it had negative stars I would put them

Work in Progress
So this course is definitely a work in progress. You can tell they are trying to fix it and therefore the price makes sense. Once they are able to get it in shape the only issue I think it has is its extremely unique layout. It bobs a weaves through the neighborhood a lot and if you’ve never played it before it is very easy to get lost. They didnt have a ranger or a cart girl out which I thought was strange for a Sunday round of golf. The cart girl eventually went out while we were on the 18th green which was just before noon so that was disappointing.

Directions to get to hole #7 and #14
It was good, a lot of mounds. For a first timer. directions for hole #7 should be clearer, go to the end of the cup de sac. While hole #14 is “hey, go over here” and not at the end of the full de sac. Both arrows pointing to the left. It was a difficult course for beginners like me. Players are always nice and respectful. I will play this course again. Except for a couple of treated greens, overall, it was a nice experience for me.

On the way back
Some of the reviews in recent months were fair. Some of them were not. The conditions have declined in the last year. I've played here many times over the last few years. Historically it's always been in good condition. I talked to a member who explained they just brought in a new superintendent two weeks ago and things are really starting to turn around already. I thought there were a lot of good things. The majority of the greens are in great shape. The 5th and 6th greens are really the only ones with issues and they're starting to come back. The fairways and tees are also in good shape with the exception of a couple tees. The current rates are more than fair for what you get. Very friendly staff, newer carts, nice clubhouse with full bar and grill. I would recommend this course.
Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club. We hope to see you again soon!

Short and sweet
First off, the staff was friendly and not pretentious. Interesting course layout that sprawls through a housing community. Lots of interesting views. Course not in good shape. Note this is a narrow course with tree lines and water lining most fairways. Good place to work on course strategy.

St Augustine
Thankfully we had a Hot Deal from Golf Now. We f we would have paid full price, this review would be worse. 1st time on this course. Greens were atrocious, so our round quickly became a practice round. Could not legitimately keep score. No rakes @ sand traps. All around bad round.
Thank you for taking the time to review and rate the course. We just hired a new superintendent and anticipate better conditions later this year! We hope to see you back then.
very strange track
landing areas for many holes are ridiculously small and heavily contoured. Expect to lose lots of balls out here. The course is in pretty awful shape: fairways and greens are patchy at best. Also, this is not a walkable course. at several points it's at least 1000 yards from one green to the next tee. it is cheap, so there's that.
