Don’t Waste your time/money

The staff is exceptionally nice, really set me up well for the round. However, it then took 1 full hour to get through 4 holes, and we quit by hole 13 after 3.5 hours. The group in front of us saw no intervention from the Marshall despite us finding out on our drive back to the clubhouse that the three holes in front of them were absolutely clear of people. Just atrocious pace of play that almost ruined our day and definitely our round. On holes 12-14 there are families playing catch or even soccer on the fairways, and fishers everywhere - just a highly dangerous and distracting environment. Will not be returning there ever.

Amazing time! Would definitely come back

Pembroke Lakes Golf Course is easily one of the better public courses I’ve played. The course is in awesome shape, fairways are clean, and the greens are rolling really nice and true which made putting feel super consistent. One thing that really stood out was the staff. Me and my dad realized we left a club on the range before our round, and the outside staff didn’t hesitate to help. They went out, checked around the range, and actually found it for us and brought it back, which saved us a lot of stress. They were cool about it and genuinely helpful. The pace of play was also great, we never felt rushed but also didn’t have to wait around on every hole. Overall just a really smooth, enjoyable round and I’d definitely recommend it.

Slick track

Quality place to play. Nice layout. Fantastic greens. Good value with a late afternoon tee time and the quick pace left plenty of sun light to spare. 4 1/2 stars, a gem!

Great Local Course

Pembroke Lakes is in phenomenal shape right now. The greens are absolutely perfect—true and fast. Don't let the look of the course fool you; it is deceptively tough with very tight fairways that demand precision off the tee. The entire grounds are well-maintained, and the staff is great, making the whole experience seamless. If you're looking for a local challenge in top-tier condition, this is it.

MUST PLAY IN SOUTH FLORIDA

Played Pembroke Lakes Golf Course recently and had a great experience. The course was in really nice shape—fairways were green, and the greens rolled smooth and fast. It’s a fun layout with a good mix of holes, and the water and bunkers keep things interesting without being too tough. Staff was super friendly and helpful from check-in to the finish. Pace of play was solid too, which is always a plus. For the price, it’s definitely one of the better public courses in the area. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend it to anyone in South Florida

Pembroke Lakes is great

Pembroke Lakes Golf Course is honestly one of the nicer public courses around. The first thing that stands out is how well they keep everything. The fairways are always in great shape clean, green, and easy to hit off, which just makes the whole round more enjoyable.

The greens are probably the best part. They roll really smooth and consistent, so you don’t feel like you’re getting unlucky on putts. You can tell they put a lot of work into maintaining them because they’re almost always in top condition.

Overall, it’s just a really solid course. Nothing feels run down or neglected, and it’s clear they take pride in keeping it looking good. Definitely a place I’d keep going back to.

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.

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.
