Hollywood Beach Golf Club

As the city of Hollywood continues to withhold voter-approved funds to rejuvenate its oldest track, this nearly 100-year old Donald Ross course will continue to suffer from lack of sufficient maintenance. And on April 1, the extremely dry conditions added insult to neglect as there were few good fairway lies during our foursome's dusty, robustly-paced round. The greens were bumpy and often brown, the bunkers flanking either side of the greens were usually hard, and the tee boxes were ground up. To be fair, many heavily-played tracks in South Florida are struggling with similar conditions, and by April, many courses in the area are somewhat beaten up

As usual, the Ross design featured strategically-placed ponds and ditches, but the picturesque, Par-70 course overall, was not threatening. Higher handicappers may find it tough to score on the long-ish Par 3's and Par 4's., but short Par 5's are gettable. While the staff was predictably friendly and efficient, the beverage cart service was lacking, particularly on a quiet golf day. The cozy snack bar inside the module next to the pro shop served up the tastiest bar-b-que sandwich in Broward County. In spite of its lamentable shape, the venerable HB is stilll worth playing for under $20.

Greens are so slow. The ball never made it to the cup unless you hit it extra hard and got real lucky. Other than that, it was nice.

Greens and Tee boxes are in rough shape but overall a good experience

Good layout and conditions. people need to pick up the pace on back 9

I’ve played this course many times. Its never been in pristine condition, but it was in very rough shape this past weekend. To top it off they are charging too rates.

I won't play this cow patch ever again. Greens were terrible, fareways were rock hard and the greens are worst than cow patches. Worst of all they charge an additional $20 pp for a single cart. Making this $82 pp for a round of golf on a course i won't spend more than $25 on. Very disappointed and they won't see me again.

Booked a tee time forced to wait for someone they paired me with that was late then told me I had to share a cart with this stranger during COVID 19 pandemic.

I've been playing this course for about a year now and after the 1st few times i played, i would have recommended this course to any friends who play. The couse is in rough shape and is a little dated as far as its layout but it has some challenging holes.

I found the staff to be very friendly.

As I've had the opportunity to play here more over the past 6 months i noticed things going a little sideways. Staff are not as friendly as they used to be. Especially Pete who works in the pro shop. This guy is anything but friendly. I get it, he's a GOM. Grumpy old man whos probably been doing this too long but he's a real smack off to use a North Eastern expression.

Combined by the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic. Theyre not doing the business they were before. I dont expect any special treatment by any means but make an effort to show some concrete customer service to a regular paying customer.

Bottom line is that i will not be playing this course again anytime soon.

Water hazards add to difficulty. Greens are a bit bumpy and slow but could be due to all the recent rain.

The conditions were terrible, 9 holes were closed and unplayable but staff was extremely friendly, which compensates the rating a bit..bad course overall

We were not informed that only 8 holes were open. We were paired with other players ,

It was very crowed after 2 pm. Will go back but will call ahead and ask about their flooding

issues.

This place is a goat farm. Stay away!! No driving range. Practice putting green is a joke. Slower than shag carpeting. The layout is boring and way less than average. Just a craphole. But the frogs like it....

When the course is drenched, they open 8 holes only for a "crazy 8". It was wet and rained again a couple of times during the 14 holes I played.

I didn't play my round on Tuesday, 11/10,because of only 8 holes open, put in to Golfnow for a refund but have not been advised as such.

Its really Hollywood course, sounds good on paper but the course is in BAD shape.

But hey for $22 bucks... what do you expect. Im surprise this course was designed by Donald Ross, but now it looks like Donald Duck track. No a fan of this course.
