Great value
Terrific course in excellent condition. Greens not lightening quick but very good condition and very true.
Fairways and tees also in very good condition.
Pace of play was very slow due to four balls and lots of elderly and slow players....over 4.5 hours for 18.
Amenities were all excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful.
All in all, highly recommend for the money paid. Not the longest course but plenty of water and challenging approaches. Excellent.
pace is excellent except fairway condition is dry. Finish 18 holes in 3 & 1/2 hours
Very good greens
Very nice lay out for the average golfer ,several tees to chose from . The starter got us paired up with a couple and it was a very enjoyable day
I would play this course again.
Course was in excellent shape. Greens were average in speed and the ball rolled true to your line. Fairways were also in great shape. I will definitely play this course again the next time I am in this area. Only issue I had was the group in front of us was extremely slow. By the end of the round they were about 4 to 5 hole behind the group in front of them. Would have liked to see a ranger move them along. The problem would have been if they let us through, they would have had to let the rest of the tee times behind them through. They were that slow.
Course was overall in good shape, and the greens were great condition. Had a great time, and enjoyed the round with my friend. Will plan to return in the future months Thanks a lot, Dave S.
Decent small course in solid shape
Got a tee time on golfnow while in Miami course had solid reviews and decent price so decided to go with it. Went out first thing in the am and flew around. Solid small track. Pretty good shape. Decent course for the price.
Challenging course, Horrible pace and group placement
A fun and challenging course with great greens. However, a twosome was placed in front of us, almost randomly at the turn that slowed the back 9 significantly. Groups of twosomes scattered amongst foursomes and others meandering their way randomly through the holes. No Rangers, not even a hint of regulation. I'm sure there are budgetary restraints but this was above and beyond
nice day, pace a little slow
beautiful weather, course was in good shape. Got paired with another couple and it was very enjoyable. Pace was a bit slow but not unbearable.
Windy day
The course was in great shape. The play was a bit slow but the day was wicked windy and there was a lot of water on the course. I'm sure this impacted everyone.
It's not the prettiest layout from the perspective that it runs along roads and noisy. I'd golf there again but I didn't have my best day and would basically want another shot at it. :)
Pembrook Lakes golf *****
This cours is perfect, not to long, not to difficult and in very goodd condition.
AWESOME course!! Conditions close to perfect; a local said the greens playing slower than normal due to recent rain, but still good speed. Highly recommended!! Cool driving range sending "floaters" into a lake, not great for ranging but novel.
Great course, terrible customer service
Loved the course (conditions, layout, etc.) but very poor customer service. They did let us start on hole 15 as the 1st tee box was busy but we literally had one hole left (about 5:40pm) and we were told that we have to pack it up as the" city" rule is all carts have to be in by 5:30pm. I've never heard of this but we still decide to play as we tee'd off at 2:20pm and sun didn't set until 5:50pm.
We were rudely told to stop when we tee'd off and then the guy working at the cart barn was uncaring. Didn't ask how our round was, or clean our clubs and told us he needed the cart right away as we were tallying up the score.
All in all, great course! Not too bad on the price either as many courses in the Miami area can be expensive (as I'm used to paying around $20-$25 and I'm from Orlando, FL) but if you're about customer service, don't go. If you don't care and want to play a nice course, definitely go.
First time
My son and I played this course for the first time and enjoyed it. Course was in good condition and the greens were quite good. Will remember this next time we come down to this area of Florida.
A great day of golf (10 am -2:30 pm)
My group enjoyed the quality of the course, the fairways and greens were in excellent condition. All 4 players (all different skill levels) enjoyed a perfect day at the course We will play this course again.
Great course in Miami
Maybe not such a long course but nice layout and great greens.
