Editor's Note: Course closed for business.
Located just off the beautiful Gold Coast, the Diplomat Golf and Tennis Club sprawls across a lush terrain covered with thousands of coconut and Royal palms. Towering banyans provide shade throughout the golf course as well. Although it is a public course, it has the look and feel of a private club. It has been a staple of the south Florida community since opening in 1957. The layout features interesting hole designs that incorporate raised greens framed by contoured mounding and more than 75 strategically placed sand bunkers. The water features are hard to miss seeing as they come into play on all but two holes. The golf course is a challenge but not too intimidating for less experienced players. The beautiful scenery alone will be well worth the round.

Unexpected courtesy and outstanding upkeep
My new favorite local course - got a BOGO offer on GolfNow and was blown away by how friendly folks were- from the Pro Shop to the Starter, to the Rangers. The course was in amazing condition and challenging enough to make me think about shot options a good amount of the time. Looking forward to my second round here - hope to shave off a few stokes!
Great coarse in good shape
Course was in great shape and for the price I paid it was and is a great value. Well worth the discounted fees and worth taking on greens are great and roll beautifully, this time pace was slow and there is no ranger to speed up the pace which is unfortunate but other than that I would recommend playing if you get the chance.
Island hole
Excellent course. Lots of water. The second hole is an island par 4 that makes play interesting
Great course great deal
We played at this resort course for $30 per player including range balls! Course was wide open and in good shape.
One of the nicest course in South Florida!
Great places great people..One of the nicest course in South Florida!
Great coarse
Great value for the money this time of year. This coarse gets expensive to play during season. They include unlimited golf balls at the range. Great reason to arrive early and get your game on.
Valet only parking, cost is $7 for golfers. Carts had bottled water. Cart attendants were very cordial. Service was just how I expected, professional and service oriented. Be careful on hole #1, the range is parallel to the hole.
Overall experience was great
This is one of the best deals I have had on GolfNow so far. The price was extremely good for the resort style course you get. The round included range balls and a great practice area along with great carts with GPS, course booklets and complimentary water bottles, the "whole nine". The greens were in great condition and very fast but still very fun. Fairways were plush and fairly wide open and the course has plenty of challenging second shots to make up for the fairly open tee shots on most of the holes. Definitely can't wait to go back and play again.
This course is golf eye candy
Everything about the Diplomat is a cut above the rest. Top notch golf experience in South Florida. We. played the course a couple of days after a huge flood so the bunkers were in need of attention. But I would not consider that a major issue.
One of my 5 favorite courses in South FL
Many great holes; very challenging at times. Course in pristine condition although greens could have been a little quicker. Usually good pace of play but yesterday was mared by a Golf Channel Tournament. Frequently play there in well under 4 hours, but yesterday was 4-1/2. Don't appreciate the $7 parking charge, but everything else is top notch.
This course has a lot of features and services
Is an excellent course, very well maintained and very good attention from the staff. My only observation would be that they should collect more frequently practice balls because it confuses the player's balls within the practice's balls.
Well Kept Course
Pure rolling true greens.
Requires precise shot selection and course management for any skilled golfer. Tip: Not all par 4's require a driver.
Friendly staff and best service in town.
Highly recommended.
A course to enjoy Golf
Not a hard course but Very pleasant! Last year it wasnt well kept but now it is a Very different course!
This is a great course
This is probably the best course I have played using Golfnow for the money I paid. I plan to go back as soon as possible.
This course is absolutely breathtaking.
The Diplomat is the best course I've ever played BY FAR. From the time you enter the grounds, you are treated like royalty. From the valet to the clubhouse to the driving range, the Diplomat makes you feel like you are a member. The golf course is so pristine that you're almost afraid to make a divot. From the first hole to the last, you are treated to one of the best courses South Florida has to offer. To play the Diplomat is an absolute treat, and one I hope to return to again in the near future.
This course is beutyfull
I like the animal it has and its trees. Is really wonderful!
Nice course, very convenient
The course was very nice and very reasonable when booked on Golf Now. We saved 50% by booking with Golf Now. The course itself played very quickly as it was not busy. We played from the whites so it was not very long but if you are looking for greater length, just play from the back tees. I did find it a little cheap that they charge for valet parking which is required but I was warned by the GolfNow website.
Course is nice but no marshall
The course is a beautiful course but tee time was for 7:33 and didn't tee off till 7:57. Pace was not fast as posted was very slow for that early of a tee time.
The greens were running good and staff is great.
We breezed thru this course as we had no one in front of us. great day of golf and great country club feel.
