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.

Great deal for the price
Great deal for the price we played. Free range balls and a great and friendly staff! Course was beautiful and the cart came with a cooler with iced water and a ball and club cleaner. Pretty neat! 2nd hole was fun with the island green
Fun course
Couldn't have had a better time with visiting father !! Great value when booking through Golf now !!
Great feature, beautiful conditions, lightning fast greens.
Highly recommend this course to the average to above average player. The course is challenging if you can't keep it straight and the greens are some of the fastest I've ever played.
Great condition with some fun holes, tough greens
Got this for $40, great deal. I really liked the course and it was in top condition. Greens were challenging, very fast but in great condition. Course was practically empty on this Friday afternoon. Great course for $40.
Excellent course -not long but tight.
Greens were punched a week or two earlier so they were hard to evaluate.
Great course, well maintained!
One of the more beautiful course and challenging course I've played in south florida. Plenty of water in play if you are not striking it solid. The course was well maintained and the golf cart had everything, gps, club and ball cleaners within the card. Unfortunately, we were rained out and did not get to finish all 18. I'm guessing the course does not drain well since we would have had to wait a few hours before we could play again. I will definitely go back and play again very soon.
Beware
Traveled from Philadelphia to play courses in the Miami area. Picked this course first. Played the front nine. Had a great time,the course was in great condition,staff was friendly and then the thunderstorm came and rained us out. When we asked for a rain check for the back 9 we were told by the lady in the pro shop that even though she gave checks to the other guests, we could not get one because "the rate you paid was low". At that point I had to read her the riot act in order to get a rain check. Very insulting and unnecessary. If they have a problem with charging that rate they should not be a member of golf now .
Great Course!!
The course is a premier course and with GolfNow, a great deal. This is a pristine, high end course with perfect fairways, predictable rough and true greens (albeit quite fast). It's a beautiful layout with strategic water hazards on most holes. it's not incredibly long, only 6800 from the back tees, but is challenging enough to make long hitters really consider how to attack the course. You can't just bomb it past the hazards, or over the corners.
Greens role true!! If you're not hitting it straight, bring a good supply of balls!
I take golf trips to South Florida 4-5 times a year. This was the first time I've played the Diplomat. Great track!!! It's a very upscale well maintained course. The greens are the 1 or 2 best I've played is that area. I will be going back to play this course!!
Too slow pace
First time i cant play , 2 holes in one hour. I have to leave the course.
If you play here and it is below your expectations, then you must be a member of Augusta national, but more expensive then you know
pro
Every single thing is perfect
pro or con
Not for high handicappers it is hard from blue and real hard from black.
con
add about 30 to 40 dollars to your booking. Parking is valet only and its $ 20. Staff will do everything for you so any decent person will have spread around tips
Make sure you eat a hot dog its $12 but wow its a bargain considering the taste.
Best Course in Area
Play took a little longer than normal as it was cart path only due to rains the previous day but it moved along nicely. Course is great and golf now prices make it the best bargain of the area as well as an interesting course .Staff friendly and accomodating. Played in foursome with varied levels of play( 10 to 30 HCP) and all enjoyed. Scenic , fun and challenging but not overly so. nice enough practice area with balls included in the price. Checkin with golf now couldnt have been easier . The cart was loaded up with our clubs in no time:)
Have played twice already this week and will go back.
Only surprise..... having to pay for parking at the course.
Great service around
Course in excellent condition. Greens fast, but fair. Tee times well organized.
Great time
One of the best courses in south florida, a litle expensive but i got a great deal in golfnow, played and loved the course
Great course. Second time I have played it and it is fun.
Fairways are well maintained and pace of the course is good.
Driving range is s bit too close from holes so balls can mix in fairways. The only reason I dont give this course a 5.
Fast greens make it challenging (when you get there ! ! ! ).
Fees in Golf Now makes it affordable.
I will play it again ! ! ! !
Excellent conditions. Impeccable course.
Course amenities are great, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The course has a few difficult par 5's but overall is a moderately difficult course. Water all around the golf course but doesn't come into play very often.
Very busy but great price!
I found a $40 tee time for 12:12pm. Shortly after my arrival I could tell the the course was packed. After some delay we teed off and it was slow but steady. The course was in above average condition and the greens were fairly quick. I love this place!!
The course has a great staff from the time of arrival.
The course is in good shape, everyone is always very friendly, the course is in good shape, the hot dogs are best in the world, the practice facility which is included in the price is also good.
guaranteed quality
Not the least expensive course, but you pay for quality that exceeds the price.
Fast greens
Narrow fairways and fast greens give lot challenge to play this course. It is worth to come back again.
