Nice course layout

Course was challenging but fun. Played from the tips. Great views. Greens a bit slow, but nice course. Weather was perfect and the staff were pleasant. Food wise the Caesar salad with blackened chicken is a good option as well.

Not one tee box had grass

You were either dealing with airrated greens or the tee boxes were grass less. Hitting of mud or dirt. Not a good value for having to pay 100 bucks you can have nicer courses at jacaranda or plantation this one is trash for the value.

Good Golf Course for Serious Golfers

One of the better golf courses that I have played at..First rate facilities and staff. Plenty of Tee options to choose difficulty but even the white tees are challenging. Greens and fairways are in great shape, but some Tee Boxes are a bit worn. Lots of water and dog legs, making it difficult if you aren't a big hitter that can get over water easily.

My new favorite course

This course was really fun to play. It's my new favorite course to play. This course is what I wish Country Club of Miami looked like. The layout reminded me of it, but better manicured. Greens were great, no patches, hardly any weeds on them. The greens forced you to not be scared to putt, or you'll be short every time. Planning my next round, and come back in about 3 weeks!

Great course for groups!

I grew up in fort lauderdale and this was my first time at this course. The staff was excellent in how the prepared us for the course. I rented clubs and purchased balls there for a reasonable price. Only ended up playing 9 of the 18 holes because of a thunderstorm but was given a raincheck to use on another day to finish playing the course or to be used in the gift shop. I probably should have taken a few lessons before trying to play this course but our group played best ball and everything worked out fine.

Great Course to Play!!!

A very challenging course, especially if you play the longer Tees. Greens and fairways are are great shape. Off course amenities are outstanding with ice and bottled water provided for free to fill the cart cooler. If you can get a good deal and want a challenge, I highly recommend this course.
