About
The Poinciana Golf Club has recently re-opened under NEW MANAGEMENT and has done extensive renovations to the golf course including NEW GREENS.
Located in western Lake Worth, Poinciana Country Club is one of several great short courses that south Florida has to offer. At just over 4,000 yards, it is a quick and challenging test of your target golf skills. The greens are small with large breaks and there are swaying palms lining the fairways. The layout consists of par 3s that range from 103 to 172 yards and par 4s that are approximately 300 yards. There are strategically placed hazards throughout the golf course that offer good short game practice for more advanced players. Poinciana Country Club can conveniently be played in less than four hours. The golf course is still gentle enough for beginners though. It is popular amongst locals but still a well kept secret from the rest of south Florida.

Making Progress
The new owner is doing a great job of bringing the
course back from neglect.
Much Improved
Finally returned to Poinciana after about 6 months, due to dislike for the shape of the greens at that time. Must say it is much improved since last April. The course is somewhat challenging and layed out nicely. The greens are back to normal, so putting was a pleasure. It was worth the wait and we would definitely return.
A good course for the money
A good course for the money, given that we got a good rate through golfnow.com. We played on the first afternoon that brought temperatures below 80° and in Florida that's a great golf day! We had a good time and were able to take our time because there were a few players on the course. Sorry to say, a few greens need some serious work. A couple Tee-boxes were hard to find, probably due to a recent hurricane blowing some of the signs around. The bunkers and some of the water hazards made a few holes very challenging. However generally fairways made the course very forgiving. We would definitely play Poinciana again.
Coming along.
new owners are bringing the course back. played the course about ayear ago and it was in bad shape. but it was much better this year. still needs better irrigation but it getting better.
poin
they are bringing it along nicely after years of neglect,
Not Now!!!
Played Poinciana on May 18th...was quite disappointed. Only able to play the front 9 (we were asked to play it twice for our "18 holes"), and the greens were in terrible shape. We figured they were under renovation and can understand it if they were, but they should close down instead until they're done. The greens seemed as if they had just planted seeds and they were just starting to grow. LOUSY!!! and S-L-O-W
Hopefully, by the fall they'll have the place back in shape. In the meantime...BUYER BEWARE.
Nice little course
This is a par 64 executive course. Current owners are trying to improve course after years of neglect. Not there yet but it is slowly coming around. Should play winter rules.
Hi Longballdon. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to leave us a review! We appreciate the feedback and support. Hope to see you out on the course!
This course is a great value
Although this is a short course, the greens are in good condition, and the layout is very nice. The t boxes could be improved, but all in all it is a pleasant way of spending a day.
Hi Mspiro. Thanks for the kind review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time out on the course, and we hope to see you back again soon!
Quick round
For the price we paid, its hard to be disappointed with this golf course. I enjoy playing a different course everyday while on vacation. I'm always willing to try something new & this course offered that experience. This course did not require my driver to leave the golf bag very often. Not enough par 4's & 5's for my taste. I will say the greens were very challenging to hit due to being small & well guarded by sand/water. You'll need to be able to spin your ball.
Hi u1539094. We appreciate the feedback. Thanks for coming out and playing a round with us.
Good for short game practice.
Able to use driver on a couple of par 5 holes. Good for an executive course. Fairways quite bare, bone dry, and sandy. Greens better than in past, but still slow and not as true as one might like.
Hi MGolini2. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that you had a nice time out on the course. We hope to see you again soon!
Don't bother
The course looks like hadn't been cut in weeks. Dirt and leaves all over the greens and the areas to practice are a joke.
Hi u771090609. We are sorry that you were not happy with the course, but we appreciate the feedback. We would like to inform you that we are working hard to turn things around! Hope you come back and visit us.
So so at best
Older course wound into a condominium complex. Fairways are mostly weeds with lots of brown patches. Desperately needs irrigation. Greens are rough with only a few being true. Not that challenging but okay for a practice round. It wasn't worth more than the hot deal price.
Nice short course
Short course but some interesting holes with water that is hard to see if you don' t know the course. Staff very friendly and helpful
Greens have improved greatly since last year, overall conditions also.
Value for money very good. Good course to practice to short irons. Staff very friendly.
Fun to play with my wife.
greens
New owners have been improving the course.
Greens still need some work.
Tees are coming along.
keep up the good work.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! We are happy to hear that you are seeing improvement in the course since we have taken ownership. It is a challenge but the course is looking better each day and we are moving forward with our heads held high. We appreciate your motivating words. Thanks again - we hope to see you again soon!
