Frequently Asked Questions

How do the Pines and Cypress courses at Royal Poinciana differ, and which one should I prioritize?

You'll find the Pines course offers a more traditional, tree-lined Florida golf experience, demanding precision off the tee. The Cypress, on the other hand, presents a more open, links-style feel with larger bunkers and water features that come into play more frequently. We recommend playing both if you can, but if you only have one round, the Cypress often provides a slightly more diverse and visually striking challenge.

When is the ideal time of year to experience Royal Poinciana's courses?

We always suggest visiting between late October and early May. During these months, you'll enjoy fantastic weather - sunny skies and comfortable temperatures - perfect for walking these beautiful courses. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and humidity, ensuring the course conditions are at their absolute peak.

As a non-member, how can I play Royal Poinciana, and what should I expect regarding greens fees?

Royal Poinciana is a private, member-owned club, so you'll typically need an invitation from a current member to play. Greens fees are usually included or significantly reduced when playing as a guest with a member. While exact costs vary, expect a premium experience that reflects the club's exclusivity and immaculate conditioning.

What are the signature challenges or "must-see" holes on Royal Poinciana's courses?

On the Pines, keep an eye out for the par-3 17th, which demands a precise shot over water to a well-guarded green. Over on the Cypress, the par-5 18th is a fantastic finishing hole, often requiring strategic layups around water before an approach to a green framed by the clubhouse. Both courses offer plenty of risk-reward opportunities that will test your decision-making.

Beyond the golf, what's the overall atmosphere and experience like at Royal Poinciana Golf Club?

You'll discover a truly refined yet welcoming atmosphere here. The clubhouse facilities are top-notch, from the locker rooms to the dining options, and the service is always impeccable without being stuffy. It's a place where you feel genuinely cared for, making your entire day, not just your round, a memorable one.
