Royal American Golf Links Tee Times

We held a wedding here. The place isn't actually a 5 star place; we don't have the money for an actual 5 star facility, but we had an absolutely wonderful wedding here. This is a great place an affordable wedding with fewer than one hundred guests. The downsides: Parking isn't great. It's a little crowded due to the golfers. The facility is kind of old and rough around the edges. It's in an out of way location. The locker rooms for the wedding party to get ready in are downstairs and not convenient to the main event space. If someone in the party has mobility issues, then this is going to be difficult. The upsides: The event space is attractive and efficient. There's a large foyer, convenient bathrooms, and a nice deck. The catering was provided and the food was surprisingly good. (The spring rolls were excellent!) The event coordinator, Lisa, she was a Godsend. She was amazingly helpful and professional. When we needed her she was always standing right there, and when we didn't need her, she quietly stepped back into the background. She was so helpful in allowing us to maintain our schedule; Lisa obviously has a good amount of experience doing this. The the serving staff were also helpful and utterly unobtrusive. We threw a dry wedding, but there is a small bar downstairs in the pro shop for those who absolutely must have a beer with their weddings. The scenery is pretty and we were able to take some very nice photos. Overall, I absolutely loved this venue. How could I not? I had the best day of my life here!

Signed up for men’s league this year. Putting greens are so bad you are allowed to move the ball to keep from putting through the surface of the moon. Bunkers are free drop - overgrown. And rough hasn’t been mowed - full of dandelions- so thick and uneven. Horrible. This course used to be so nice too. Pics show the practice putting green and the weeds in the rough and how long it is. *** UPDATE *** After discussions with Scott and team…. I am pleased that they are actively working to correct the issues at the course. I’ll check back in and see how things progress as I really love this course. I have lived in the area for 26 years and I think I was just so disappointed to see this. Thank you Scott for taking the time to discuss this and to be so understanding.

I had high hopes for the course in 2025 after reading the countless responses from the course owner on other poor reviews saying they were working over the winter to fix the course and have apparently installed a new irrigation system? Doesn't look like it. I know it's still fairly early in the season, but I've played a few other courses in the past week and they aren't anywhere near the horrible condition of this place. The driving range is closed and looks overgrown. The practice green....wait, there isn't one, it's also overgrown and hasn't been mowed even. The greens on the course remain dead and full of weeds and BUMPY, slow and inconsistent, it's barely playable. There are ZERO playable bunkers, every single one is hard packed mud and or full of water. All this for the low low price of $45! 🤦

The course needs some TLC. A couple of greens were rough, but the course was in decent shape. We actually got out on the course early. The pace of play was reasonable. The staff were pleasant. Overall, it was a positive experience and I would recommend Royal American for a round or two.

I'm not a golfer but I went once 15 years ago and once last weekend. My husband has been many times in the last 20 years. It was so sad to see how much the place has deteriorated. There was trash in various places on the course. There were lots of weeds. The fairways and greens had dirt patches instead of grass in countless places. Several sand bunkers had plants growing in them. The restroom had a lock ripped off from one of the stalls and another stall had a strange yellow liquid leaking from the ceiling into a bucket. The restroom was covered in toilet paper and had some trash on the floor when we arrived. The employees did get the paper mess cleaned up before we left and they seemed pleasant and helpful when we visited last weekend. They need repairs at this course badly.
