Played here for the first time yesterday. The staff was above and beyond in every way. As we played the course, we noticed the grass on the greens was one of the best we had ever played on. Same goes for closely mown areas around the greens. Fairways forgiving and in great shape. After finishing our round we asked what kind of grass was being utilized: Paspalum. Putts rolled perfectly on these relatively fast greens (preferred by me anyway.) And when in the rough, the ball sits up instead of sinking down, so almost always easy to find your ball and keep pace. Be prepared to use less loft on these shots as it's like having your ball on a tee. Loved everything about this course and look forward to returning soon. P.S. The electric carts have excellent built-in range finder/info screens that take out the guess work and help you keep pace.

WOW.....what an amazing golf course! The greens were in super shape. They rolled true and smooth. Everything else was also in super shape. Pace of play was great. The people in the pro shop, back drop and starter were amazing and very friendly. The Bar and Restaurant looked super nice, but we didn't have time to try it. I would definitely play here again and am planning on it..

Absolutely beautifully designed course, second only to the most friendliest staff I have experienced at a course in the area, maybe short of the Ritz - and I'd argue the staff here would give them a run for their money. From the moment we walked in until we left every single employee had a smile, was helpful, polite and just had a great attitude - not very common at a lot of courses in the area where grumpy people sludge through the day, think you being at the course is a burden and just want their free golf for working at a course. So many decent courses are ruined by their staff. Gorgeous layout, challenging yet attainable course, greens were in outstanding condition and fast. Food was excellent (chicken salad sandwich). Beverage cart attendant was friendly and fun (and a great name - America!) Great layout for restrooms, which include coolers full of ice cold branded water bottles. If I had to find something for feedback it would be maybe additional signage for directions to some of the holes where cart paths intersect, but that would be forcing finding something. Kudos to the entire team for making our day enjoyable.

My friends and I went to dinner Thursday night at Boca Royale. We wanted to support them since they’re still not fully recovered from Hurricane Ian. Our dinners were good, service was fine - the problem was my carry out. I got the short rib dinner to take home for my husband. FYI, they don’t give you a vegetable with your meal, you choose one side. I chose the baked potato. The salads we were served were twice the size of the salad to go. The issue was the short rib. It should be called Short Changed Rib. The portion of meat was so small I got my tape measure. This meal was not worth $22. My husband said it tasted good but it was a ridiculously small portion. I couldn’t help but feel they think carryouts can be shortchanged with little consequences. If you like short rib, I recommend Landy’s. Delicious and well worth the cost. I’ll go back there, but not likely Boca Royale.
