West at Orangebrook Country Club
About
Orangebrook Country Club in Hollywood boasts two 18-hole courses, the East and the West. The golf courses are about equal in difficulty but each offers a different set of challenges. The West Course was added over 20 years after the original East Course, which was built in the 1930s. This newer layout has more water hazards and there are also several massive bunkers treacherously lurking about the greensides. The challenging elements are nicely balanced by wide-open, player-friendly fairways and small greens with few breaks. The golf course is overall very forgiving but it offers interesting risk-reward opportunities that will appeal to players of all skill levels. In addition to the two golf courses, Orangebrook C.C. boasts extensive practice facilities that include a spacious lighted driving range with distance markers and a practice bunker.

Played a great round on the west course. All bothered greens were in good shape. Tee boxes were in excellent shape. Fairways were in good shape. Excellent layout. Greens were slow as usual but I happen to like that. . Definitely will play again soon and great value for your dollar..
Course Conditions
This course was not at all what the pictures make it out to be. I cannot comprehend how this is suggested as a “top pick” on this app. The greens were entirely unplayable, like putting in a bunker. There was no water on the course as all the coolers were empty even though it was 88 degrees outside. To top it off there was no cart available to buy any drinks from, so just 4 hours of dehydration and putting in sand. Would not recommend. I will say at least the tee boxes were in decent enough shape.
Worst conditions Ive seen a golf course in Florida
All the greens were basically sand traps. There were a FEW fairways that were decent, otherwise the grass was burnt or just no grass. The layout is really beautiful which is sad because clearly no one is taking care of this course. This is easily the worst conditions ive ever seen a course in Florida.
Worst conditions I’ve ever seen
Played here to pass time before a late flight out of FLL. Not from the area, but wow what a dump. If the greens weren’t as sandy as the traps, then the grass was as long as what’s in the fairway. Just brutal.
Extremely Poor Pace of Play
Threesome ahead of us had no golf etiquette or pace of play. When reported to the ranger no actions were taken.
Will go back
Went into this course with low expectations. It is Fl and it’s hot so understandably courses aren’t in great conditions. The price to play here is definitely worth it, greens are alright but staff is above and beyond friendly and helpful. The course seemed pretty busy but pace of play was fantastic.
Orangebrook West
The staff, layout and fairways were very good. The rough was shorter than the last time I played there.My only complaint is that there were a few greens in bad shape but most were good enough to make a decent effort. Overall I would still recommend this course unless you’re really serious about your score.
Worst Greens Ever
Fairways were OK, Tee boxes too
The greens were horrendous. Barely any grass at all. The surface was dried out, bumpy. See attached picture
Got to the point putting was just a waste of time.
Hard to judge a score when you can’t even putt
Getting worse
I played the west course a few times l'atelier and it is getting worse every time I go. It is not to be recommeded. The greens are in very bad shape.
Manage your expectations
Contrary to information there is no practice range here and what they say passes for a chipping and putting green is more like the moon landing. You pass high tention wires and loads of construction before you get to what you don't believe is a clubhouse.. lol.. while the morning pro shop taff were not the friendliest and it's pretty clear it's a locals mostly golf course.. the starters and guys who work the course were awesome friendly and made up for the pro shop. As for the course itself, I would say it's pretty wide open and once out on the course you can forget the start of your day.. there are some decent hole layouts but not an over challenging course by any stretch.. but I don't think that's their demographic either.. with those honest expectations you will have a nice day and lose very few balls during your round . Greens are maybe a 3 out of 10 . On the day I played in April, they were still trying to clear up some issues with green blythe.. with some care it could be a good casual golf option . Just manage your expectations . The locals that come here are super nice and makes up for most other shortcomings.
Is it possible to have a crédit we only had 3 players instead of 4
Good Value, But Needs Better Maintenance
I recently played this course and came away with mixed feelings.
The layout itself is interesting and somewhat challenging. The fairways are on the narrower side, which adds difficulty, and there are several water hazards along with visible wildlife that make certain parts of the course quite scenic. At times, it can be a really enjoyable experience.
However, the course conditions leave room for improvement. It feels a bit neglected overall, and while it’s playable, it would benefit greatly from more consistent maintenance and attention to detail.
The biggest issue by far was the condition of the greens. They were in very poor shape—uneven, inconsistent, and frankly frustrating to putt on. It got to the point where our foursome agreed to play “two-putt max” on every green just to keep the round enjoyable.
What was also disappointing is that this is not disclosed anywhere during the booking process. I only noticed similar comments in reviews after making the reservation, which was non-refundable, so there was no option but to play it out. This lack of transparency definitely affects the overall experience.
The facilities are noticeably outdated and seem to have been maintained at a basic level rather than properly renovated. This impacts the overall feel of the place.
As for the staff, the experience was inconsistent—some were friendly and welcoming, while others were not particularly engaging.
That said, I paid around $65, and at that price point, you do get reasonable value for what you pay.
Would I return? I’m not entirely sure. If I found another course at a similar price with better conditions, I would likely choose that instead.
Greens Very bad conditions
Greens are in very very bad conditions since monthe ago. The fairways and roughts are ok but the greens and greens side are very bad.
Great course BUT.......
I play here a fair amount and I really like the course. The course lacks some TLC. The greens have gotten horrible, lots of bare spots making it difficult to putt.
They changed #18 from a wonderful par 5 ending over a pond to a par 4 barely 250-260 yards. Somewhat anticlimactic and boring. Maybe if the green was back a little further it would have been more challenging as you would need a accurate shot to the green.
