Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Getting better
Some rough seasons for conditions the past few years. So far this year there has been a very welcome improvement to fairways and greens. Even the bunkers, although in desperate need of new s sand were raked. Kudos to the ground staff. Hope it continues to improve.
Love the layout
person running the pro shop, seemed distracted.
The course itself is in rough shape.
fairways and greens were below average, but they were a bit wet.
There were no cart restrictions and a couple of the areas where carts should not have been allowed,showed deep ruts from previous drivers mistakes.
This course deserves better, the layout keeps me coming back, it is a fantastic layout, with tough and exciting holes. I really enjoy playing this course.
If you can get past the inconveniences around some of the fairways, the greens are playable and true… they just look weathered.
I think you really will enjoy this course, play it and prove me wrong, you will enjoy it
I know I do each time I play it.
I cannot wait until I make it back again
Enjoy

Staff was great, orca was guys bc I booked it in golf now. Course conditions were poor, from the te vices to the greens. I would not pay it again. It would be ok if it were in better shape, had some interesting holes
Belle découverte!
Beau terrain avec un personnel accueillant. Seul point négatif: le terrain était détrempé à la suite de fortes pluies.
Could was wet in some areas and some greens were not in good condition.
Overall satisfied with the day
Bring xtra balls
Love course layout, very tight, target golf. Very interesting. Course conditions: need TLC.
SLOW SLOW SLOW
Slow play, 5 some in front wouldn’t let a single play through, after 5 holes i had to just end up skipping around them before i pulled my eyeballs out. Fairways were decent, greens were burnt & mud. As mentioned in previous comments, if you’re looking to get out and swing, great. If not save your money…
Course has great potential
Interesting and challenging layout but course is in rough shape Has narrow fairways, lots of sand traps and water. It needs care and would be a very good course.
Still a work in progress.
I chose this course based on other's reviews. Those reviews spoke to the improvements and the good conditions. Good for intermediate to better golfers, not so for erratic higher handicaps.
It turned out to be a very narrow course, which was not really an issue for me, but my wife lost a half dozen balls, most that ricocheted of exposed root into the shrub palms, never to be seen again. There were a few blind drives and the GHIN GPS does not work at the course, so had to drive the cart up a couple times to understand my landing area and distance.
The greens were fair to poor. A lot of bare spots on many of the greens. They had just been fertilized, which effected the line a bit. On the plus side, the greens were a consistent speed and the lines were readable and true.
The staff and other golfers were extremely helpful in making sure we could navigate the transitions across roads and back again between holes.
