Unforgettable Golf in Orlando: The Royal St. Cloud Experience
Discovering Authentic Links-Style Golf
Welcome to Orlando, where the Royal St. Cloud Golf Links offers a genuine links-style golf experience just 25 minutes southeast of the airport and Disney area. The course's rolling fairways and classic bunkers?"named Hell, Spectacles, Devil's Pocket, and Hoofprint?"create an unforgettable playing environment. True to its heritage, you'll need every club in your bag to navigate the varied terrain.
A Pure Golf Experience
Unlike many Orlando courses, Royal St. Cloud boasts no residential developments, providing a true golf sanctuary. With four sets of tees, the course offers a championship length of 7,111 yards from the blue tee, featuring flawless fairways and silky Tifeagle greens. Its motto, "Original Golf Played Here," reflects the unpretentious and authentic golf experience you'll find.
Expert Guidance and Teaching Opportunities
I had the pleasure of speaking with Bill Filson, the Director of Golf and co-owner since 2002. With 12 years of teaching experience and training under top-ranked professionals, Bill is a consistently top-ranked PGA Professional. Joining him is Dave Rummels, a veteran with 17 years on the PGA Tour, and Associate Professional Doug Holloway with 16 years of coaching expertise.
The Royal St. Cloud prioritizes teaching with state-of-the-art video equipment and even a teaching tent for poor weather. They offer lessons and clinics for all skill levels, with children's clinics priced at just $7.00. Families will love that kids play for free with a family membership, and ladies can learn comfortably in a relaxed environment.
Exceptional Value and Unique Guarantees
Bill takes pride in providing exceptional golf value in Orlando. During the 2005-2006 season, rates ranged from $46 to $48 and increased slightly to $64 during peak season. Discounts are available after 11 am or 12 pm daily. Bill's philosophy is not to oversell but to exceed expectations, supported by a rare 100% money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied. Only two people have ever requested a refund, a testament to the course's high standards.
Unique Course Features and Loyal Patrons
One of the course's standout features is its handcrafted stone bridges, built brick by brick. The most famous bridge, found on the 5th hole, attracts many British visitors. The course is popular among locals, snowbirds, and British golfers, with many returning year after year.
Listed among the Top 5 Most Underrated Golf Courses in Orlando, the Royal St. Cloud has hosted the 2004 and 2005 British Junior Amateur. Its wide-open fairways may seem simple, but they present unique challenges. The abundant wildlife, including rare wood storks and cranes, adds to the charm of the course.
A Relaxed and Enjoyable Experience
I particularly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service, capped off with a delicious hot dog on the clubhouse patio. The entire day at Royal St. Cloud was a delightful golf experience under the sun.
