Enjoyable day!
Driving range hitting into a pond was pretty cool. Water on every hole. Tough but fair layout and smooth greens!
Fun round...Loved the course !
Some nice course. Wish the had a logo ball to put in my collection.. they ran out they say... come on ???
Nice fairways, greens slower than other courses in South Florida, but at least balls did roll the green (lol?)
Played on a cold Christmas day (55°F), no beverage cart, no marshall and also bathrooms were locked... (not good) That's why I gave amenities a 2 stars. The pace of play was ok. We were a twosome, played in 3.5 hours but could have played in 3 hours if foursome ahead (couple bad players) would have let us through before the 14th hole. If they had a marshall that day, that would have resolved that issue.
Loved the fact they have accurate GPS in carts... All courses should be equipped with this technology... oh also, nice newer electric carts ! Thumbs up !
Would play again for sure.
Fun Course, Great Value
I've played many of the courses in Broward County but i always come back to lakes.
Never to crowded and always in good shape. You wont find a nicer course for this price.
Great condition, challenging course
Staff was great. Course was in really good shape. Great value, would 100% come back
Back nine only
Unfortunately was only; able to play the back nine twice, since they were aerating the front nine.
Condition was good, greens also had recently be aerated and still had sand on them.
Great place to play
First time playing this course. Great layout and design. The course was challenging but fun. Definitely will be back soon.
Ok
Course needs a little TLC for 50$ in the summer a little pricey for the condition greens were thick and slow and fairways were lush and not recently mowed probably due to the recent rain but still thick
Some holes need work
A typical FL course with plenty of water and trees. The only 5-star I would give are the greens; most of the greens are in very good condition. Some fairways and tee boxes need plenty of improvement to match the price the course is offering. A lot of hazards like canals or lakes along the fairway on the left and tree lines on the right. Most fairways are tight! This is a course that challenges the straightness of your tee shots.
Always great conditions
For as many years as I’ve played here I can say I’ve ever been disappointed with the conditions since they resodded with paspalum grass. The course is always in great condition tee to green. I can’t comment on off course amenities because there isn’t much with Covid going on but I have been into the bar area and it’s good for a post round beer and lunch. Can’t say I’ve ever been disappointed after a round here. Keep it up.
First time at the course
I was in Ft. Lauderdale for business and a few days vacation. Some locals recommended Pembroke Lakes. Was very impressed this was such a well kept municipal course. The course was challenging but not overly difficult. It was apparent a lot of players don’t repair their ball marks on the green. Since it is such a nice course, shame on them for not properly repairing their ball marks. Enjoyed the round and the players I was paired with. Will definitely return to play here in the future.
Great coarse
Coarse was in great shape! Staff was awesome! I lost my phone on the coarse and they went the extra mile and helped me find it!
