Descent conditions and cool layout.

Bartenders are cool, pro shop guy was ok, cart guy was kinda rude and aggressive the bald one with glasses. Cart girls are typical rude south Florida women. Overall not bad. Upset they raised there afternoon rate to over 50$ for sub par conditions. Compared to other public courses in area it’s good though. You can only expect so much in soflo. They closed other nice courses in Broward.

Fails on value for the money

Friendly staff but carts not clean or with towels and tees. Should have at asked price. On course washrooms were filthy!!! Condition of course just OK. The back nine was a nice layout versus the front so saved the day. We would only recommend this course if cannot find others.

Bottom line…. Just gets a passing grade.

Overpriced and outdoor staff unfriendly

Limited public course options, this is a poor one. Course/clubhouse will be demolished and redone (taken private) soon. Course was in bad shape and played slow. Outdoor staff was rude and aggressive but apologized.

Save your money and play somewhere else, lesson learned the hard way.

Too many people booked!

2nd week in a row that we left after 9 holes. 3 hours to play nine and my group left me as a single to finish the back nine. Had all foursomes behind me so I had to leave and not play the back nine. Way too many rounds booked every day. Won’t be back unless things change and I do have the frequent players card. It’s no good if you can’t play 18 holes in under 5 hours!

Not easy

Some whole ask you to be pin point to the flag. Others are fine only if you start at the right place(black, blue , red etc). If not you will have challenge to go over like trees, bunker or water. Finally the green are fast and uneven. You need to carefully read the green.

In conclusion it is a golf course if you want to see where you are in you improvements.
