Worst pro shop customer service

The most rude and unprofessional interaction I’ve had with a proshop. Out of courtesy I called in advance to cancel my reservation - the guy told me to call golfnow or he would charge me and hung-up on me!

I called right back - the same guy said I should never book through golfnow and said he would not help me ...”its like you booked a delta flight and youre calling America to change it ...we will charge you - it’s your fault” They should not be on golfnow if they are going to treat bookings in this way. Normally really great people there - but this individual was awful.

Nice layout - not worth the money

The greens are like carpet, slow and shaggy. Would be a good course for $35-45 but not more than that. The layout was fun with a lot of risk reward depending on club selection.

Greens are slow

Greens were running a 6 on the stemp. Had 2 balls picked up from the middle of the fairway by players on other holes. Pay 20 bucks more and be surrounded by decent people.

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.

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.
