Nice course—-SLOW PLAY

The course is a moderately challenging. Lots of water. Doglegs to cut across. You really have to play it a couple of times to know where to go and what it takes to carry certain hazards. Greens were ok with speed. Sand traps were mostly in good shape and raked.
SLOW PLAY—-played at 11;30am and it took 4 1/2 hours because we were behind a Japanese foursome (I am not prejudiced) who could not hit the ball further than 100 yards at a time! I play with my girlfriend who hits it about a hundred yards but we would have played this course in 3 1/2 hours EASILY!
I would play it again during a slower (summer or off time) time.

Fastest greens in Broward County!

Overall — pretty good!
1. Coursecondition was dry—- they are on water restrictions. Fairways are hard and fast!
2. Tees are ok — they need some maintainance!
3. Small bag of range balls was 15 balls!
4. Great layout! Challenging!

Hi Ltjgbret. Thanks for taking the time to review our property. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your round overall, especially the greens and layout.

We hope you'll return after we get some additional rain to help lush out the entire course!

Good public park course!

The driving range was poor! Usually you have Designated hitting areas----NOTHING!
Pro shop personnel were short--- not very friendly!
Asked where the range was---NO SIGNS! Where is #1 tee or #10 tee????
On the course NO DIRECTIONAL signs!
Layout was excellent with a lot of doglegs! Need to play more than once to find out where to hit to!
I exspected better even when it is at a public park!
I have played a few and they were much better.
Not enough help around! Cart guys????? Clean your clubs???? No bag drop!!!

Problems the PGA Stadium course has

1. Could not see GPS because of the glare. Obviously no one has sat in the seat and tried to see it. It was not just my cart--- both of us said the same thing!
2. NO HELP after our round!!!! Very surprising!
3. "Crusty" sand bunkers
4. SLOW GREENS!!! Played two other courses in the area and they were faster!
5. EXCELLANT DRINKING WATER ONCOURSE! It seemed every other hole there was water!
6. Great layout!
I have played Sawgrass in Florida and we had none of these problems. It was an excellent experience!

Nice layout

Overall the course was average condition. This is because South Florida is still on water restrictions (water only 3 tims a week). This causes a lot of problems for Superintendents. Greens were a little slow.

Averag for this time of the year

Greens had good speed in them! Bunkers were "locked" down (were not raked up-hard pan). The layout is challenging; moderate course condition; (they are on water restrictions); wide open fairways. Club link now owns the course.

Slow Play!

We were held up by an outing by 40 minutes!!!!
Could have let us know when we checked in. Because of the late start----we ONLY PLAYED 16 HOLES because of dark! Pro shop---POOR PLANNING BY PRO SKOP!
The course was not as nice as the Bay course.
Need to mark the routes to next hole either by signs or painting directions on the cart path. !
The golf course was average with fast greens until the sun went down and the moisture got into the greens.

Different!

We (girlfriend and myself) enjoyed the course. Layout was really nice. Some forced carries which could be difficult because being a first time on this course. It would help if they had better routing when moving from hole to the next hole. Got turned around twice because they did not have good directional signs! Enjoyed the course very much!

All around Excellant

Every thing was great here- staff, course, pace of play, etc. The pro (sorry I wish I had gotten his name) really helped us out! I made the mistake of getting there at 9:45am when my tee time was 9:22am! He started us on 10 between a tournament and regular play! You cannot ask for any thing better than that! The staff had ice and 2 bottles of water in the cooler! This was great because it was hotter than "H" in Florida in August! Index about 100.5!!! Plenty of bathrooms with ice machines! This was a very pleasant surprise! The only marginal thing was the price at $59.00 @ person plus tax! This also came with rang balls!

Great condition; short yardage

Was in great shape. Greens were alittle slow for me. Lots of corners to cut! A "thinkers" course because on every hole you must think! Think! Yardage? How far is the bunker on the corner? Yardage to dogleg? Driver? 3 wood? 4 iron? You really have to analyze ever time you tee it up. I really enjoyed it because I had to shape shots all day! Back tees were 5600 yards!

Not worth the trip!

Staff was great! Everyone was very attentive!
The course needs MAINTENANCE!!! The greens had big areas of mold that was never taken care of. Joined up on the back 9 with a twosome and enjoyed talking with them. I had heard that the course had been worked on----NOT SO!
I made the tee time through Golf NOw for $68 for two people. If I had to pay the rack rate, I really would have been mad!

Not what I expected!!!

The people working at the course could not be more friendly and helpful!
The layout of the course is fine, the maintenance wasn't! This course needs a lot of work!!!!
Greens had good speed and a lot of undulation in them! Had a hard time reading them.
Over all ---- We traveled 1 1/2 hours to play here and were very disappointed!
Would not recommend it!
If you walked in off the street, the.y would have charged $70! I would have been really mad if we had done that!!!

Nice Public course

Joined up with a two some. Let us go off earlier than our tee time! Nice public course. Greens were tricky! Greens were full; good speed; tough reading at times. A little pricey for the course. I would play it again if given the chance to see if anything had changed.

Nice course!

Nice members course! Elevated tees. Some what a target course. Sand traps had no sand in them---just dirt! Greens had slower speed on the front 9 from the back 9! Don't know why!
Played with a "local pro" who was very interesting! Talked about the tour. He gave me a great insight into what really goes on the tour! Things you would not realize they have to deal with!
Over all-- nice morning on a nice golf course with the heat!
I wish him luck!!!

Good desert member course

Just a nice members desert course. Kind of flat compared to other courses in the area. Tee to green was fine. Sand traps--- no sand just brown dirt (sand traps should have sand in them like I'm used to in Florida). The greens were really SLOW compared to other courses in the area. Not sure what the problem is but the greens had brown spots (very small mixed with green grass).
Staff was really great! My girlfriend lost a head cover and they found it for us!
We had a great lunch at the bar! Corn beef was very lean!
Overall ---we really enjoyed the course----not the heat !!!!!!
Repeat play was only $19.00!!!!!!!!

Great desert course!

Great desert course! Love the contrast of brown rocks and green fairways! Played with a twosome that had played before. This really helped me--- what to hit and aim points. Some forced carries! Overall--- great desert course. Could learn to love desert golf!
Food at the bar was minimal!!! Could use a bigger menu with a better selections.

Target rich golf course

Really a great course! Would have to play it a few times to figure out where and what club to hit.
The strangest par 5 I have ever played---- 4 iron off the tee, 5 iron to lay up (which ran out the end of the fairway); sand wedge to 10' and made the putt for par! This is not my kind of par 5!!!!
Great weather; overcast and breezy which kept temps in the 80's!
Never have we seen so many rabbits on a golf course!

"TARGET" "LINKS" style course

EXCELLANT!!!! Fair test for both the beginner and the low handicapper. Total links course with no trees. Lots of elevation change. I would recommend buying the yardage book that would help with aiming points. Deep rough! Greens slow compared to South Florida! Loved the Bag Piper playing at 5 o'clock near the clubhouse! BIGGEST white swans I have ever seen! Great sandwiches in the bar after the round. Helpful bartender suggesting local things we could do was great.
SAVED $40.00 by booking with GolfNow!!!!! I would recommend using them any time you get the chance!

Great Links stle course!

Played the River Course.
Links course --- no trees!
Mostly flat. Wide open in the driving areas.
Water on at least half of the course on one side or the other.
Greens were fast downhill and slow uphill ----- there was at least 12 ft of speed in opposite directions!
VERY FRIENDLY staff!!!!!
Would definitely play again and would play The Landings also!
