Challenging
Course has water everywhere so read the website and use the information to play your game.
The greens are in good shape not super fast but I found it hard to read some of the breaks. . All
And All the people I played with were very nice and helpful. Book a tee time you won’t be disappointed
Only major negative is the driving range, you hit off a Matt into water, I HATE MATTS and water driving ranges
EXCELLENT Experience
Played this course at early on a Wednesday morning,.
First and foremost, the course is in SOLID condition for a public course. - Tee Boxes: A-
- Fairways: A-
- Greens: B+ (Great shape, just a bit too slow, need to be mowed)
- Bunkers: B+
- Rough: B+
- Cart Paths: A- (Sand/Waste hazard style cart path smooth look)
- Overall: A-/B+
Second, the course layout is GREAT. Variety in length for the Par 3s, several Par 4s feature heavy doglegs requiring both shot shaping and Driver-Iron decision off the Tee, and the Greens have quality undulations. Par-72 around 6,900 yards for me from the Tips- not a long course, but a challenging course with some tight fairways and challenging designs.
Third, amenities. Good clubhouse, good range, good chipping and putting areas, the carts are GPS equipped, and the staff is solid.
As a native South Floridian who plays golf approximately three times per week, I will definitely be coming back here as soon as possible and highly recommend it. Arguably top-5 public courses in Broward County.
Experience: A
Worth the drive
One of the nicest courses in the region with well manicured fairways, abundant bunkers (with nice sand), lots of water hazards and lush Bermuda greens. Fairways are fairly generous if you avoid the bunkers and don’t try to overpower the course. Greens are subtle and a bit slow. A scenic layout and well worth a visit. I come down from New England every winter and this course is now in my top five. Staff is friendly and we got around in under 4 hours.
Good condition
Course is in good condition, guessing less Northerners in town. Course wasn’t very busy which made it an excellent pace of play.
Pleasantly surprised
Nice setting all around, from the club house to the driving range, practice green to the golf course. Challenging but not torturing. Overall nice course. PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

An Enjoyable Round Of Golf
The course was in very good condition. The pace of play was excellent. We played the round in 4 hours. The greens were in excellent condition. Single putts were not achievable because of subtle unnoticeable breaks. So the greens made it very challenging to score low. Looking forward to returning for another great day of golf.
Good value in PM
Very nice layout, challenging but fair. Greens in pretty good shape.
Great Course
Just a great layout. Course conditions are very good. Staff was very accommodating.
Challenging
Played back tees and presented a fun challenge. You’ve got to make shots here as it can be tight in spots. Fairways and tees good. Greens a bit bumpy and slow. Lots of pitch marks on the greens and appears folks aren’t doing a good job repairing their pitch marks as a result the greens were inconsistent and bumpy at times which is not typical of this course. Always one of my favorites and best kept in the area. Still a very enjoyable and fun round of golf. I’ll keep coming back as I really enjoy this course.
