Poinciana Country Club
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.

Nice little course
Fun course plays quick nice to keep your irons sharp I like it
Interesting short course
We discovered this course after trying other "executive" course, and we find it to be the more interesting of them all. Par 64 ,with 3 par 5 and 4 par 4, makes you fell like on a regular course. And we got a good price, so we had a great day.
Thank you for writing a great review! We are excited to see that you had a great day while at our course and think our short course is the most interesting out of all the executive courses you played in the area. We really pride ourselves on our quick layout that makes it feel larger than it really is. We think that we are the best value for golf in South Florida so we are happy to see it is welcoming to players. Thanks again for the great review. We hope to see you again soon!
Great executive course
Fun to play! Love to bring my friends out there play a quick game!
Hi Mitch, thank you for the great review! We are happy to hear that you have a great experience while at our course with your friends. Our course is short and interesting, we are very proud of it and glad it is appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to review us. We hope to see you again soon!
New Owners
I have played this course when it was in terrible shape.The new husband and wife owners have made great strides.The greens and traps are well maintained and r the highlight of the course. The fairways and roughs are now being attended to
The par threes from the back and middle tees are extremely challenging. The par 4 and 5s also offer a challenge because of trap placements.
I would recommend this course and look forward to the further improvements..
Thank you for the lovely review! We are so happy to hear that you appreciate the strides we have made since taking ownership. We have worked very hard to get it into tip top condition for you and keep making improvements every day! We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again!
Complete waste of time
Avoid at all costs, a value price would be 3 dollars and i would still be hesitant to pay that.
Un bon petit terrain de pratique
Quand même cher pour une normale de 64. Car on peut avoir un 18 trous à normal 72 pour le même prix. Le terrain était très sec, pourtant il pleut presque tous les jours ces temps-ci.
Le LAYOUT est intéressant avec de belles difficultés. Nous avons appréciés pouvoir jouer seul (2), et n'avons eu aucune attente. Nous avons eu la chance de partir avant un groupe.
You get what you pay for.
I've played this course numerous times. It has changed hands 3 times in the past 4 years. Price keeps going up but course condition isn't quite catching up with the price. The greens and traps are in better condition than last year however the fairways are a mix of bare hard ground and mixed grasses and weeds. It's hard to take a divot here. Fairway yardage markers are present but there are no tee box yardage signs. Carts are ok but ours was lacking brakes that worked only with the full force of all your leg and foot. There are no bag covers on the back of the carts so if it starts raining you'd better have your own. I would only play this course for the $20 Golf Now Deal. To pay the regular $38+tax just won't happen.
Nice layout
Always enjoy playing here. Nice crew, helpful, near the city, short course, so don't have to spend full day on course.
Par 64 executive course
The course was challenging for an executive course. However, they are working on improving the conditions which weren't your average greens or fairways. It's a good practice course--bunkers and water come into play. However, the grass was questionable as to real fairways and greens. It was only worth the $17 to play.
godd practice course
great for beginners very dry condition it did not rain for days
Are we there yet
Played front nine in 1 hour ,but upon arriving at #10
we found 3 foursomes and a single ahead of us ,whom
we had not seen for the previous 9 holes. The back nine took 2 hours to play and featured long waits between shots.A definite crowd control solution
which made our day terrible.
Over run with hackers
Very overcrowded and slow play, suspect there were too many teetimes made. Course was in fair condition at the best, lots of weeds on the grains and lots of bare spots in the fairways
Good course for practice the irons
It has been a very special day for me.After 45 years i did not only one but two holes in one.I did it on hole no 7 and hole 17.I will always remember that day.
We played last year and hoped things would be better this year. It didn't happened.
There are too many other nice courses to play in Greenacres.
Poinciana
Needs lot of work lay out is good but greens are poor not terrible for hot deal
good course for the price
great day and pleasant to play. some difficulty on par 4 and par 5
Alignment from the tees
On the par 3's be very care with your alignment. Also the greens are currently in poor condition but hopefully this will improve in the near future.
Hi Robert, thank you for taking the time to review us! We are happy to hear that you enjoy our course as much as we do! We really pride ourselves on our quick and fun layout that we have. We hope to see you again soon!
