Very slow

Staff were very friendly and helpful during check-in. Starter told us we would be late getting started, but gave us a bucket and came to get us on the range when we were up. Course was generally in good shape and greens were in great shape and fast. Pace of play was painfully slow. After 13, when we were already at 3 1/2 hours, we gave up. We don't have all day to play a round. Estimate it would have been roughly 5 hours to finish.

Great Value

The price was right, course in good condition, lots of planning required off the tee, greens in excellent shape, carts in good shape, staff was very friendly, practice green not available, practice hitting area had lots of bays to hit. Would definitely play there again, we were in Ft. Lauderdale on vacation, first time playing in Fort L area.

Rude starter

I am not sure why the starter on Monday may 25th had such an attitude and was so rude. Totally uncalled for. To speak to a paying guest like he did is unacceptable. The course however is in good condition finally after months of being sub par.

Hidden Gem in Broward County

This was my first time playing this track and for the most part, it did not disappoint. The layout was challenging. The greens were in good condition and the staff was friendly. My only complaint was the pace of play. What should have taken my threesome about three and a half hours, it took almost five hours to complete of round. Thay was due to a couple of groups in front of us.

Lastly, this course is almost 7,900 yards from the tips. Please play the tees you're supposed to play based on your handicap or typical LEGIT scores.
