Royal St. Augustine Golf and Country Club

Blazing hot summer conditions. Course in fair to good shape, and pace of play was quick to get out of the heat. RSA layout always a challenge, bring plenty of golf balls.

Very disappointed in the conditions of the course. We walked on, so we paid a premium, and it was not really, not at all, worth the price we paid. Tee boxes were overgrown, or patchy or both. Greens were in horrible shape. There is no cart service. I have played royal St. Augustine, many times over the years, and though it’s not my favorite course, as it’s not, very forgiving, I’ve always come back to it. But this may be the last time I played. At least for a while. Very disappointing.

This place is the classic love-hate course for me. There's lots of challenging shots which make it fun but there's lots of frustrating mounds which bounce a good shot into the weeds and into oblivion.

The 17th hole is the only reasonably normal hole on the course. Almost all of the others are an adventure of some sort.

Loved the layout of the course but as a first timer should have had a course book. The course needs a little work but could be a premium course. Didn’t see any workers on the course that could be the issue. Would love to see someone put a little work in the course. My advice leave the driver in the bag narrow and short holes that will run out into trouble.

Tight course, narrow fairways but nice layout. Check in went smoothly and staff was very honest about the course (well appreciated). Some of the greens and around the edges had a lot of bad spots, but the ones that were good were very good. Biggest negative on the course was whoever did their grass cutting left it way too short and burn marks were all over the place.
Really a shame because parts of the course were in decent shape. Got a great price to play it and it was 1 hr and 1/2 away so for the same price we would play again but the course definitely needs better groundskeeper and management.

Very nice experience & didn’t lose a ball. Pick the correct tee box Golfers.

16 of 18 greens, were not good, in fact they were terrible. this killed the putting game, it made the golf experience worthless. tee boxes were in unacceptable conditions. on the back nine there was a group of six waiting on a group of four, we went to the front nine again and again, 7 golfers on 1st tee. pay to play somewhere else.

DO NOT waste your money. It’s honestly a shame this course even exists. I played this course while on vacation from Ohio and almost left the course after playing the first hole. The greens were so bad on some holes that I didn’t even putt. The course pace was terrible. Had to wait at least 5 mins on every tee for the group in front of us on a Monday morning. The young man running the pro shop was kind, and that’s about the only thing I’ll give this course, lol. Also, it’s super confusing to find tee box 1, I asked a local resident taking a walk, and he rode in the cart with me and showed me where to go. He said he’d own the course if he had a dollar for every time someone asked for directions. Just put up a couple of signs or at least give us instructions in the pro shop.

Greens in poor condition. Black spots all over. Fairways ok. Most tee boxes were all dirt/sand. No grass.

The tee boxes and fairways were good but the greens were as bad as I have ever played. They were terrible. I brought two fiends with me from Atlanta and were absolutly embarrassed that the course was so bad. Every green was bad

The greens on the course were the worst I’ve ever played anywhere. Tees & fairways were good but greens were horrible

NO STARTER, NO RANGE BALLS. FAIRWAYS UNRULEY WITH LARGE WEEDS. MAINTAINENCE DUDE DUSRUPTED PLAY BLOCKING CART PATH NEAR 9TH GREEN, STATRED UP A GAS Trimmer when we were putting out.

I enjoyed the outing very much. The staff was very friendly. I am a 25 handicap so the course suited me well. Was warned that there were some trouble spots on greens but found that to not be true. I have already booked a tee time for next Monday.

This place needs to be overhalled if it wants to attract new players that want to say something nice about the course. If I lived in the community, I’d be highly upset and wonder what the association fees are being spent on.

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!!
