Fun course, great greens

Friendly staff at the proshop got us going. We were out at 7:14 so pace of play wasnt an issue. 5 tee decks to play from. Course was in great shape. Greens are undulating and have lots of character (but people need to fix ball marks better). Great mix of holes that are risk/reward, dog legs, straight. Only downside is there was coffee and breakfast available and it took about 5 minutes after our round to find someone at the bar to get a beer. Overall very enjoyable and will visit again.

Decent value

Overall favorable. Some wet areas, especially green front which was curious since the starter advised us to “run the ball up” to the greens. Nice layout; challenging but not unfair.

Joke

Made a tee time for Saturday morning. Called to confirm on Thursday the guy in the shop said he didn't see it. Just a "nope". Made us another one. Showed up another 4some had the same tee time. Sent us off the back. Place was slammed. Terrible pace. - cart said we were 40 minutes behind pace after 9. Rude staff - One of the employees was yelling at a customer for being late like he was a child. Left after 9. Paid for 18. Asked if they could offer a refund they said they don't do 9 hole rates. Seemed like this was a normal day at Pembroke Lakes. Go to Jacaranda instead. Jersey will make you a nice sausage egg and cheese wrap and greet you with a smile.

Back To Form

One month after slogging through a soggy track with battered greens, I and a playing partner romped through a two hour and-a-half trek on a scenic course in near-immaculate shape. The golf balls stood at attention in the fairways and rolled true on some of the best-conditioned greens in South Florida. The strategically-placed bunkers were fairly soft and the tee boxes were nicely manicured, as well. While not a brutal track, course management often came into play for this average handicapper, especially on water-bordered fairways. The golf carts do have GPS. Adult beverage service was brief, which was not unexpected, given the surprisingly sparse number of players on a sun-drenched afternoon. The pro staff and attendants were attentive. The chicken wings in the restaurant were most delicious, putting the cherry on top of a $17 Hot Deal that was nothing short of a Hot Steal.

Call Before You Go....

The $27 Hot Deal at PL should have raised my eyebrows, but I had no idea this fun track would still be so spongy, since there has not been much rain in the area. But thanks to PL's notoriously slow-draining fairways and greens, conditions were not optimum for a sweltering spin around one of the generally, best-maintained courses in South Florida. While the fairways were muddy, but playable, the greens were nicked up pretty badly. Still, our foursome enjoyed wheeling around the nearly deserted course in four hours. All was not pleasant, however. The pro shop attendant was friendly and efficient, but the tall cart attendant seemed put out. The cart girl promised to return during our round, but did not. We found out that she was sent home. The restaurant food was tasty and the service was solid.

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.
