A very fun course and great value

I play the course a few times a month and every time I play I'm always surprised on the condition of the course being that it's a muni. The fairways and greens are most always in good shape occasionally you find some GUR, but usually because of a water. They need some work on a number of tee boxes, but I would say it is on par with the vast majority of courses down here. They need to be leveled and filled in at places. I find the pace always moves but it gets traffic so there is your average wait on weekend mornings. It's a great deal for the afternoon rate and find I can place a fast round. The range is decent and usually hitting off grass but occasionally you use the mats. Practice green for chipping is nice and putting green rolls true. The one down side is the staff, they do thier jobs but not the friendliest bunch but by no means rude, just a smile wouldn't hurt. This is a solid 4 star course and tremendous value, definitely a course to check out.

Excellent Course

The course is in perfect conditions. Very challenging with a lot of water in play. The only downside is that there is no Ranger out on the course to monitore pace of play or handle unruly players. Nobody came out after I called the pro-shop complaining about a group of players going in front without asking permission, driving over a green fringe, going back and forth different holes, and it goes on....

Great course for the $$$..

When you arrive , it doesn't look like much, but after playing to the second hole the course opens up nicely.

Great conditions and good character. There is a fair amount of water , so hit them straight and not as long vs. long and not as straight.

Nice and funny golf course. The first 9th holes are a little noisy with the cars, ambulances, etc. from the streets. The second is better. Not so easy golf course, many difficults thru each holes. Carry a lots of balls.

Best Public Course Around

As a south Florida native, I must help my fellow golfers who hop around make a choice. Pembroke Lakes is a must play if you are looking for excellent conditions with a good layout. The tee boxes are two tone. The fairways are flush and the greens are true and fair. Great value just watch out for certain peak times as play can be slow at times.

I should also mention if you are a single like myself, I have been paired with nothing but good people and some decent golfers.

Challenging!

I had a great time and enjoyed my round. The day was windy and the course has plenty of water, bunkers. and trees. I played really bad but worth it. The greens were the best of all my local courses and very fast. I would play there again given the opportunity.

Lot to offer with great price/quality

PLCC offers very nice golf conditions and, compare to other golf courses, it's a great deal. First nine holes are very challenging with water and out of bounds all over the place ! Nice layout too.

Nice Course

Played this course while visiting the area on vacation. The course was in great shape, especially the greens. The greens rolled fast & true. The layout was also nice. Very good layout for the average golfer. The only downside was the pace of play. Our threesome finished the round in 5 hours. There were no rangers on the course to be found to keep play moving along the morning we played.
