Oaks at Palm-Aire Country Club

For this time of year with a drought the course was in good condition. The fairways, tee boxes and green were all in good condition. The greens were fast and true.

As a local, in the profession, and long-time patron, I’ve played here consistently for years—often multiple times per week, including through the slower summer months. The convenience and accessibility have always made it an easy place to get out and play.

Over time, however, the pace of play and overall tee sheet management have noticeably declined. It often feels like the course is stretched beyond a comfortable capacity, which takes away from what used to be a much more enjoyable and predictable experience.

That said, I want to personally recognize and thank Tom, Jeff, and Andrew on the outside staff, along with Juan behind the bar. They are the primary reason I’ve continued to come back over the years. Their professionalism, work ethic, and consistent positive attitude do not go unnoticed. They represent the course extremely well and create a welcoming environment that keeps locals like myself returning despite other pitfalls by management.

As someone who works in the golf industry, I understand how challenging public course operations can be. I hope the facility continues to support and retain staff like them, as they are a tremendous asset and make a meaningful difference in the overall experience. However, with the recent state of events and management, I can no longer continue to support Palm Aire CC.

Paired with a couple from Canada who were very fun! Went to tee box to start and was told by another group they were playing in a group and we would need to wait. The group was late and we were not advised of this by the course staff. We did finish in 4.5 hours. Some tee boxes were sand only, fairways mostly ok with some being quite dry and brown, bunkers had sand, greens were very nice and true. Golfers need to fill divots, rake bunkers, and fix divots on greens. Did not see a ranger. Would like to see more focus on getting garbage picked up around the course. It was good overall!

Greens were very nic3. Good speed. Tees and fairways should have been overseeing. Many bare or dead spots on tees/fairways.

Too many people, too few golf carts and volumes of US northerners and Canadiens flying to south Florida to escape the cold. The staff was stressed out attempting to squeeze too many foursomes off. Due to lack of carts relative to the number of people, they wouldn't even let you check-in until 15 minutes before your tee time. Pace of play was incredibly slow...five plus hour round.

Greens were in excellent shape, everything else was in good shape and I had fun.

Play here when we come down from Cleveland, Ohio, my favorite local course in the pompano area. Course is very well maintained. Would like to see a 2nd baverage/snack cart or a snack house at the turn. Going to club house at the turn is very out of the way. Even a vending machine would be nice for a quick snack.

If you want to actually enjoy your round, go to Colony West. Played here numerous times and every single time it’s a five hour round regardless of course. No ranger is on the course enforcing the pace of play, non working bathrooms, and sub par fairways for $80 or more is criminal. As mentioned before go elsewhere

Had fun, good condition. Feedback: started 15 min late, tee times were backed up. Only saw the cart girl once. Nice lady but a second cute young cart girl would be great on busy days. Terrible sandwhich.

Nice course.

Overall good conutions. One green ws bad.
