Briar Bay Golf Course, opened in 1975, is an affordably priced executive course that stretches out over 30 acres. The course presents challenges for all players, beginning to advanced. The layout features elevated greens that are small and fast, narrow fairways that are protected with bunkers. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. Although it is located near a residential area the course promises an interesting layout that goes in every direction. Briar Bay Golf Course facility lacks some of the amenities of a private club, but they do boast a practice green and a clubhouse.

Good course to practice short game

I like this course because I can bring my kids with me. I like to play only 9 holes and It is close to my house

The course needs some maintenance but overall I would recommend this course to anyone that wants to practice.

Coarse course

While the 1 staff member we encountered was friendly, the course itself is in desperate need of a rehab. Sandy greens, overgrown rough and overall poor health

It's obviously a locals course but could definitely use an injection of money. They ran out of carts, signage is poor and can't say I've played a poorer condition course in South Florida. Very sad as could be a cute 9 hole. Just needs some love.
