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!
Great local option
Nice to have another golf course to play in the broward area. Not quite a jacaranda or plantation preserve but a little nicer than Davie in my opinion. I’m a 15 handicap and this course is a nice blend of challenging but with reachable greens. Will be back
One of the best conditioned public course in Broward County
This is my local public course and it's in pristine conditions. A lot of water hazards and enough undulated greens to make you think for every shot and putt. I play this course frequently and definitely would recommend it to anyone.
It’s flat really no personality
tree leaves on the fairway definitely not country club golf but not everybody can play And pay for country club golf .I
But they have the clientele
