Water everywhere

A rain hammered golf course in remarkably great shape for the amount of rain we've had here in Broward County since June.

Great greens and lush fairways with lots of standing water. I had about six casual water drops from the fairways. But I'm not complaining. Just very wet feet and sweaty clothes and gloves. Come prepared and you will enjoy the course if your handicap is under 15. If its higher, seek another course.

Fast Greens and A Great Course

Even with the heavy rain right before the tee time, the round was great. There were only a few shots that landed in a puddle in the round. Greens were lightning fast as usual. One of the more challenging courses in the area that requires a good short game.

Little Gem

Was pleasantly surprised by this course. In town for a few days so decided to check GN for courses. Read the reviews for this course so thought I’d give it a shot. Got paired up with a regular that helped out a lot and was very friendly. Didn’t play great but had an excellent time. Greens are hard as concrete but amazing quite receptive. QUICK and they roll true. Played different course the day after this round and within 3 holes there I was wishing I’d returned here. Highly recommend if your in for a casual round with no fuss and with reasonable green fees on a good course.

It's a good time to play this wonderful course!

Greens run true and smooth! Tee boxes and the overall conditions have improved over time. It's always fun and challenging to play this course. Complimentary bottled waters. One of the best in Broward County.

Top five courses in Southeast Florida

Tough layout but 9 different tees make this course friendly to everyone.

Perfectly manicured greens roll true and very fast with lots of undulation. Fairways offer a perfectly rectangular divot on well struck irons. For hot summer golf in in South Florida, this course makes the heat and humidity almost bearable. ENJOY!

Great Track!!!

Stopped into the Fort Lauderdale area and had time for an early morning round. Didn't know what to expect being that I am visiting from the Los Angeles area and ad neber played in South Florida before, I was very impressed. Staff super friendly, course in great shape, greens very challenging but in very good shape. Also rental clubs were Titleist T300 irons, Titleist TS2 driver, 3 wood, and 4 hybrid, and Scotty Cameron putter. Although it was super hot and humid I enjoyed myself and would gladly play this course again.

Good deal in summer

Course is overall in good shape. Periodic rough spots, but nothing hateful. Greens are legit fast, only took me 14 holes to adjust and accept that fact. They supply ice and 8oz water bottles at start and turn, very appreciated.
