"We took great care in utilizing the golf layout as the critical interface between the natural wetlands that run through the site." Commins states, "affording the golfer a more naturalized setting than we typically see in most new golf courses."
Since it's inception, Royal St. Augustine has enjoyed tournament-like conditions. When you couple these conditions with a challenging and intriguing design you certainly end up with a wonderful test of golf. The first hole a robust par-5 puts a premium on a well-placed drive and allows the longer hitters a chance to be on the green in two. The second hole a pristine par-3 with water and marsh left and a large catchers mitt green will reward a tee shot of the correct length that may lack accurate direction. The third hole is a very challenging short par-4, a three-wood or long iron at this hard dogleg right will leave you a wedge in a great birdie opportunity. The fourth through seventh are open challenging holes that provide wonderful scoring opportunities and reward well-placed shots. The eighth hole is reminiscent of a Pete Dye creation with an undulating fairway and large challenging moguls; a premium is placed on the drive with an approach to a receptive large green. The eighth hole is a challenging par-3 over protected wetlands to a long undulating green.
"We are always amazed at the consistent enjoyment our patrons get out of their experience at Royal St. Augustine, comments John Eldridge, PGA Professional and Director of Golf since the inception of Royal St. Augustine."

The 13th is a par-4 dogleg left featuring an island fairway to a raised target green ? a true test of golf. The 14th a par-3, and 15th a par-4 are designed fair and with player scoring in mind.
