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.

Ridiculous experience
We went to play this course early this morning and were denied access even though we had already paid through golf now . They were hostile and vulgar. Nobody at the course had any idea why they were treating us this way . Police got involved because of their hostility towards us and sided with us. The police even went as far as to advise the owner to seek another career. I would suggest you never play this course and advise your friends to avoid it as well. There are so many courses in south Florida there is no reason to support this type of establishment.
Ridiculous Experience
After arriving to our tee time on time and paid for, we were denied access to the course saying there was no room. Cops eventually showed up and noticed no one had teed off in 30 minutes. They simply denied us the service we paid for.
great for short game
Can see owners are trying hard to bring this course back, was in pretty good shape as of date we played, Hope they keep up the progress. They need to work on traps, more sand would be big improvement. Played it in March of 2018 and course was pretty beat up. Much better than then. great place to bring newbie golfer, or for intermediate to work on short game, worth the price they charge, Greens are pretty guarded by bunkers. So approach shots are tricky.
Fun course
This is a nice short course but you have to place some of your shots to avoid water hazards and traps. Good value for what we paid. Would definitely play there again.
Needs Help
I have played here 4 x, and this Course is Going Down in the FIRE FAST...Needs Water, 12 of 18 Greens in Awful Shape, and NOT a SPOT of GREEN FAIRWAYS on the ENTIRE Course...Needs Investment to TURN it around...My First 2x playing, Great Shape, February...3 weeks Later, a Dirt Playground...
Good value
This coarse was a good deal for the price compared to other courses in this area and was in pretty good shape although there is a drought in this area
Tricky greens
I dont think they have the good grass for greens.It looks like fairway grass.
Brad
Older course, not in good shape, had rangers but they didn't do anything, got the oldest cart they had I think. Had to be 15 years old or more, broken windshield. They hadn't mowed the course in 4 to 7 days or more at least I think. Not worth the money to play there. I won't be back.
Much Improved
Went back to Poinciana in Lake Worth and was happy to see that the course was vastly improved since last May when it needed work. Good course for the amateur.
Much updated....
The course has new owners and has made a great improvement on the greens.... it is wonderful as a non stressful easy experience... very good for honing your skills.. the people are helpful and working diligently to continue to upgrade this course.
