Royal Meadows Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Royal Meadows Golf Club?

You'll find Royal Meadows truly shines in the spring and fall. The course conditions are immaculate, the weather is perfect for walking, and the vibrant foliage makes for stunning backdrops, especially around holes 7 and 14. Avoid mid-summer if you're not a fan of humidity, though the greens crew does an incredible job keeping things pristine year-round.

How challenging is Royal Meadows for an average golfer?

Royal Meadows offers a fair but engaging challenge for most golfers. While it's not going to punish you relentlessly, you'll need to think your way around a few holes, particularly the dogleg par-4 11th and the uphill par-3 16th. We recommend playing from the white tees unless you're a single-digit handicap looking for a real test.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Royal Meadows, and is it worth it?

Expect green fees to be in the $80-$120 range, depending on the day and time you play, which includes a cart. We absolutely think it's worth it for the quality of the course-it's consistently one of the best-maintained public tracks in the region, offering a fantastic value for a premium experience. Factor in a little extra for a post-round burger at the grill-it's a local favorite.

Are there any must-play holes or unique features at Royal Meadows?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the picturesque par-3 5th, which plays over a small pond to a well-bunkered green-it's a real beauty. The back nine also features a fantastic stretch from 12 to 14, where strategic bunkering and subtle elevation changes demand precise iron play. You'll love the classic parkland feel and the mature oak trees framing many of the fairways.

What's your top practical tip for playing Royal Meadows?

Our best advice is to book your tee time well in advance, especially for weekend mornings, as Royal Meadows is incredibly popular. Also, don't underestimate the subtle breaks on the greens-they can be trickier than they look, so take an extra minute to read your putts. You'll thank us later when you avoid a three-putt on the 9th.
