Good price for the Oaks

Great weather, good pace, and course was in good shape except for the greens were being worked on. Does impact potentially good putts.

Santiago's Review

My Tee time was st 8:08 AM on Saturday. I got there 45 minutes earlier. Because of been weekend and that I was a solo player I thought that I was going to put with a group of two or three players. Instead I played solo behind a foursome. Glad that they were corteous to let me play in front of them. I would have preferred to play in a group. Anyway, I enjoyed my practice round. The greens were sandy and a little bumpy because of recently aeration. Hopefully, next time I will have better luck and the greens will be in better shape...

Best Greens in the area

Decent layout but the greens were perfect. They ran about a 10 and rolled very true. The staff always goes over and beyond for great customer service. Above average course for the money and conditions. I would recommend this course to anyone in the area.

Good play for the money

Quite enjoyed the course, the staff and the experience. Course was in pretty good shape. Greens were firm but fair and rolled very well. Bunkers were a little rough and could use a little TLC but were playable. Staff was great and the pace was excellent. Will most definitely return!

Nicely Balanced Course

The course was in good condition considering it was the end of our "busy" season locally. Tee boxes and fairways were well-kept and the greens, though hard from lack of rain, rolled true and were free of any blemishes. I like this course as it's varied fairway structures allow me to use more clubs in my bag than standard, "bomb/pitch/putt", courses common in largely flat-land locations like this.

Racist beverage lady

My 2 friends and I play palm air on a regular basis.
So when I was going to be in ft Lauderdale for a few days I booked a tee time for the 3 of us . Big mistake on my part . As it turned out the course was packed so the pace of play was very slow after several holes we called the pro shop to see if there was a beverage cart that day within 10 mins the lady arrived.
We ordered 2 bears 3 snickers bars and 2 bags of pretzels the lady asked for $19..00 we gave her 24 she left .
15 or so minutes later she showed up again claiming we had ripped her off and that we owed her another $6.00 I asked how we had ripped her off as she was the one that told us the price .
She said nothing so we paid her the $6.00 that's when she decided to go into a rant about how I should go back to England and my Friend should also go back to Arab land my reply was simple.
After you go back to school for maths aa you clearly cannot add up simple arithmetic you should also take an English class as it's Arabia not Arab land .
Then I called the pro shop to complain the manager said he would speak with the beverage lady and get back to me .
One week later nothing even though I've called twice more so I am now writing this review to let everyone know how we were treat.
Not very well unfortunately

Worst Customer Experience of Any Course

Terrible experience. 45 minute wait for a cart so started 45 mins later then reserved. Took another 45 mins to play the first two holes. The 3rd tee box had four foursomes on it.

We called the clubhouse from the course and asked for a refund since it was an untenable situation. They said no refunds so we returned to the clubhouse to discuss. We found Ray to be inflexible and not customer friendly and a rain check for someone from a different country is not useful.

Overall a terrible experience for an average course. Would definitely not recommend to anyone.

Extremely slow play

We played 8 holes in 2 hours and 55 minutes, that was the end of the round....what supposed to be 18....
Not only were they way behind on the T time sheet, but they packed people out, when we came to the first T it was three (3) groups , all 4-some's .
Terrible phase of play, no starter nor ranger to monitor phase of play.
Unless you are ok with a 6 hour 18 holes round of golf I would not recommend this place during the weekend..

Great course for the money

The greens were in nice shape. Course had seen a lot of rain so it was a little mushy but for the cost, a great value. Nice overall facilities, many tee options so better players can move back if they want.

So so

We played one of the first groups out. No food or coffee available. The course was fine, a few bare spots but the greens were in good shape. Nothing memorable about this course. If you are heading to Florida for a few rounds this might be a good first course to get loose before playing some of the nicer area courses like Jacaranda.

Good available Course(s)

Good course to play, its challenging enough,, but not difficult. Decent shape, Quite a bit of water, mostly along the holes, not so much on approaches.

Unfortunately, we played it after a few days of heavy, I mean heavy rain,. So it was very soggy, paths only and none to little roll. But it looked like it could be much better in dryer weather. Greens were still quick enough... even when wet.

I'll play it again, it has decent golf and at a devcent price.

One of the best Value Courses in the Area

The staff greeted us promptly and were friendly. The driving range is off mats and you hit balls into a long pond (driving range and clubhouse is shared with the Cypress course). Tee boxes were quite level and in good shape. Fairways were a bit soft, but that is despite some heavy recent rains - there was only one roped off section in one fairway, and no cart restrictions. No shots require you to carry water, but there is water along the fairways in several places. Rough is fluffy - so expect your ball to sink into it. Sand traps were in the best shape of any of the value ($25-35) courses we played. Greens were in very good shape, quick, and rolled well, although with less break than you think. The turn does not take you back by the clubhouse, so double up on your ice water before teeing off, and it can be a bit confusing keeping track of the holes as you drive around due to several intersections on the cart paths. Still, the three Palm-Aire courses were the best courses we played in November, even after the recent rains.
