Vacation golf
First time in the area and decided to play here, it was a great time. The course is in great shape right now. Tee boxes are a little beat up but the fairways are nice and greens are in great condition. Pace of play was good for us but the course is tough so there’s potential for a slower round. I would definitely recommend playing here if you’re in the area.
Too long to play
Really nice course in good condition. But it take 6 hour to play in We have waiting every hole because we are following a tournament. I would of like to know before reservation
Nice course à little expensive
The course is in good shape but their GPS system is annoying
Great Course
3rd Time playing the course. It is a tough course with narrow fairways, water, and trees but I like the complexity of the course. Overall very good condition with welcoming staff.
Nice but slow
A group of high handicappers were playing in front of us from blue markers.. so you can imagine how disappointed we were.
Excellent Course!
The course is great. It is very well kept and it is challenging enough, without being too frustrating. Very friendly and professional staff.
Tournament
We were not advised that they are having tournament so we had to wait 5 hours for a twosome.
Unnecessary
Great place
First time playing here, course quality maybe on par with Biltmore golf course. Excellent pace of play and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Given that is a lot more affordable than Biltmore, I definitely will come back.
Straight Hitters Paradise
First of all, we flew into Miami and we were looking for a course that didn't break the bank. We decided on Pembroke Lakes. 1. Staff was very friendly and went out of the way to make sure we were taking care of. 2. Driving range and practice facilities were average. We putted a few and the practice green was very slow so our expectations were low on the quality of the greens.
The greens turned out to be very good. i would guess they were rolling around a 10 to 11. The greens were challenging with some of the pin locations which made you feel like you had to hit a shot into them. 3. Fairways and tee boxes could use some TLC. If you rolled them in the fairways, you could get a very good lie. Tee boxes were good enough, just a lot of play on them.
4. Bunkers were fine around the green. MY ADVICE: if you are a golfer with a 18 handicap or less, play the course but pick the right time when it is wide open. From the tees, you need to be able to shape the ball to fit it in the narrow fairways. After tee shot, the greens are big enough to hit and enjoy the putting. If you can't hit it straight or work the ball, you will be in for a long day and bring extra balls. If you get stuck behind a group of high handicappers, it will be slow. no Marshall on a Tuesday afternoon. Played last 5 holes behind a fivesomes which included a couple of the maintenance employees driving a work cart over the course when it was CPO.
Overall, it served our purposes of playing golf on a beautiful day for $56.00
