Lots of improvement

Course have been improving over the last year. Greens still need some work it was hard putting because of patches of bad grass, fairways grass was sparse in some areas. Overall a great deal and very interesting layout. I would recommend playing

Golf Day with My Son

Pace of play was slow because all groups had inexperienced golfers, or golfers at varying skill levels, so nobody complained. Course is sufficiently challenging. Greens were in reasonable (not great) condition. Most of the tee boxes were in rough shape and lacked sufficient ground cover. Most importantly, we enjoyed spending quality time together playing the game.

Wet but Fun

I went twice to this Golf course and both times we were hit by huge rainstorms. The first time we didn't make it out but the staff was great! We received a raincheck and tried again the next week. We got through the first 9 before the rain came pouring again, and once again the staff were great and supportive! I will try again but really nice to go to a course where the staff is friendly and atmosphere is fun.

True Test

This is the 2nd time I’ve played this course since 2014. I love all the renovations that have been done to Colony West. Really love the vibe of this place and the staff is always professional and friendly. I played from the green tees and let me tell you this is a true test for an amateur golfer in Broward county. Nothing easy about this course! Hazards all over the place. On the par 4, 5s when you are 200-300 yards in to the green, it’s pretty tight with Noh much safety off the greens. This course made me think of Ben Hogans book where he speaks on course management. I definitely couldn’t play as aggressive as I normally play on other courses. On a good day I shoot low 90s with occasional mid to high 80s. Not on this course for me! All I can say is the course inspired me, humbled me to rethink my game. Definitely would recommend course!

Course is great value to play.

They put us with another couple guys, who were very nice and enjoyable to play with. the course was in very good shape, greens were a little slow but well maintained. Had great time and will be back in near future. We are from south Miami area, but due to the condition of course and price we paid, we will be back to play the Champ Course again. Thanks again,
