Hollywood Beach Golf Club

Haven’t played HBGC in over 6 years. Course maintenance has slipped in that time. We’ve gotten a lot of rain in the last few days. The wet conditions contributed to a miserable round. Hit many fairways and found the general area completely submerged. Several holes were shortened to compensate for this. Cart path only. Greens ran as expected for summer. Almost every bunker has a lake in it. Pace of play was a non issue. We never waited, nor were pushed. Great value when dry.

first time I played with a friend there. Everyone was very nice. The cojrse needs sone good help fairways are not so good. Lots of weed. But tbe greens fees are very reasonable.

As the city of Hollywood withholds millions for improvements to this nearly 100-year old track, the course management trudges along, doing its best to maintain a historic Donald Ross layout whose greens are shag-carpet slow and whose poorly-draining fairways were unplayable on several holes. No matter. For 20 beans apiece, my buddy and I worked on our games as we scampered through a rain-threatened, thoroughly enjoyable round in just two hours and 30 minutes. A delicious, bar-b-que pork sandwich in the cozy snack trailer with a knockout bartender capped off an entertaining visit to Hollywood Beach, home of South Florida's friendliest staff.

2/3rd of fairways flooded. Holes right on top of each other. Not worth the $35

Right now the worst conditioned golf course in Broward County and possibly the tri-county. It's just in such poor condition and they seem to accept that as it's been this way since well before 2000. Greens are rolling at about a 4 with such poor grass. Most good courses fairways would putt smoother. Traps are pretty much unplayable. Tees are uneven, Fairways are bare and St. Augustine grass owns the rough.

Pluses - not many sand patches on the green. Extra high rough around the greens challenging. Not much play so we as a well hitting twosome went around in 2 hours and 10 minutes. The layout is old school interesting. 2 per threes in a row twice in the round and 2 short par-5's to begin the round of the Par 70 Donald Ross design. Great walking course with the old school design. BIGGEST PLUS - City passed a bond referendum to put money into this course. That is what would return this old jewel to it's status as a revered Donald Ross design. But until then you have been warned....

Went today, I am on a vaca with my girlfriend and we are from Ohio. Looked forward to playing golf in Florida. This was my first time. Bad condition. Some tee boxes were like sand boxes. Greens were as tall as most fairways. Just not fun for me. I’ve played some cheap golf in Ohio and never seen a course that was this bad if I’m being honest. Wouldn’t recommend.

Greens need TLC. Not many water hazards, but wouldn't you know it, lost 3 balls. 2nd time I've played the course and will go back. Good course to tune distance and price is good.
