Great value
Played here after heavy rains nailed S Florida for days. Was amazed at the conditions; course drained really well. Only 6 cart path only holes. Conditions are always solid here. Greens were in good condition and rolled true. Nice layout. Will definitely return.
Incredible Value
Always enjoy playing this course. The conditions are always excellent. Greens roll true. For the price you really can't beat this course.
Well maintained
Course is always well maintained. Greens are usually semi fast and true. Water comes into play on many holes. Fast fairways so hit it straight.
Terrific deal
Got a hot deal and two of us played for about $90. Played in about 4 hours. Course in terrific condition. Pin positions were real tough and greens were fast but the course is very fair and accessible to high and low handicappers. I’d be happy to play there again.
A Chill End to a Steamed Start
Several weeks ago, I played a most enjoyable weekday round on the consistently best-conditioned track in Broward County. A Saturday morning excursion at PL provided a different experience, however. Three foursomes of tourists in town to celebrate a bachelor party were shoehorned in front of our foursome. These raucous out-of-towners were friendly enough, but they were painfully slow as their skill levels and their revelous pit stops begged for a 4 pm start with many fewer players on the course. Unfortunately, the starter would not allow us to commence our round on No. 10, whose tee box was unoccupied for 15 minutes. Thoroughly teed off, our foursome ended up teeing off 20 minutes late, but we were able to bypass the partying, soon-to-be-sunburned lads who took an extended break after the front nine. The second nine proceeded at a brisker pace, even though we caught up to a slow-footed trio that stretched our round to nearly 4 1/2 hours. As usual, PL was in superb shape with flush fairways, well-repaired divots and ball marks, and verdant, true-running greens. The beverage cart service was the best I've seen in the past six months and took the edge off of the tortoise-paced round. To top it off, the happy hour victuals at the restaurant were as tasty as the service was superb. A sublime ending to a ridiculous beginning....
Our round
Enjoyed playing the course but pace of play not good some holes had three groups on them all waiting
Great course, bad golfers behavior.
Superb conditions of play, bad company and even worse pace of play.That was a late tee time, perhaps that's the problem.
Course is well taken care of.
Some of the Fairways are a little hard greens were great
Predictably Pristine
For $40, this afternoon round was a steal as Pembroke Pines-owned course currently is one of the best-conditioned public tracks in Broward County. Like its counterparts, Pembroke Lakes has seen plenty of play this season, yet this entertaining track always seems to be in peak form throughout the year. The tee boxes and fairways were in splendid shape, save a few bare spots on fairways. Greens were a bit fuzzy, but they ran true. Bunkers housed wonderfully soft sand for the most part, but lazy trap maintenance by players left tricky shots from divots and spike marks. Pace of play was pokey at times for a Monday afternoon, though pro shop said track was "wide open." And this is a no-frills course - no cart service and bar closes at 5 pm, which seems a bit early during high season. PL's layout is challenging enough, and while there are no real signature holes, the posh surroundings were compelling - and memorable.
