Editor's Note: Course closed for business.
Located just off the beautiful Gold Coast, the Diplomat Golf and Tennis Club sprawls across a lush terrain covered with thousands of coconut and Royal palms. Towering banyans provide shade throughout the golf course as well. Although it is a public course, it has the look and feel of a private club. It has been a staple of the south Florida community since opening in 1957. The layout features interesting hole designs that incorporate raised greens framed by contoured mounding and more than 75 strategically placed sand bunkers. The water features are hard to miss seeing as they come into play on all but two holes. The golf course is a challenge but not too intimidating for less experienced players. The beautiful scenery alone will be well worth the round.

Great course
This course was well laid out, fast greens and challenging overall. We will play here again. Winds were up so it made it even harder.
last day
12 of us played on our last day before flying home that evening payed $65 all in we played texas scramble and really enjoyed the course would definitely recommend it
Nice track, excellent friendly staff
Good playing conditions. The greens were consistent and rolled well (about 7-8). Nice layout and a most welcoming staff. I'll be back.
Great Troon Quality
We play a lot of troon courses and this was as good as any. Only concern was the first three holes play slow by the very nature of their difficulty and arrangement.
Nice view, nice layout, excellent condition
I think the title says all. It's just excellent in all ways. It comes with free bottle of water and range. Sure with all the amenities, it comes with a pricey tag. If you look around, you can find very good deals to play this course. Highly recommended!
Excellent Course/Layout
My buddy and I played this course twice this past week, and we would not have returned had the Diplomat not been in both excellent shape and a terrific layout. There is water practically everywhere but bail out areas are provided, so there is no real need to continually shoot the green. This is resort golf, so don't expect a four hour round. The first time we played, we were matched with a man and woman celebrating his birthday. The woman played decently, but was meticulous in her pre-shot routine. The ranger twice told us to speed up, which we did, but still finished 20 minutes behind pace. My apologies to those players behind us, but like death and taxes, you can't always choose your playing partners. Things were a lot smoother the second time we played, as we were matched with players who knew enough to move their ball up to remain in time. Would gladly return here on my next trip south.
Enjoyable day
We have played this course on several occasions in the past few years. The course seemed slightly less tended than in previous years but still a nice course. Some interesting water holes. We arrived early for tee time, made use of practice facility,. When earlier tee time groups were no show, staff moved us up. Good pace of play.
resort course
On the whole an enjoyable afternoon with two lovely Canadians. I didn't expect the valet parking at the course. Just another way of fleecing the tourist!
I don't mind paying if it is a top class no1 course: this wasn't. but on the whole enjoyable.
Great layout
Great experience, the staff was excellent!
City feeling
Beautiful and elegant clubhouse. Good course in good shape. Overpriced at $143 I paid half of that on Golfnow.
this course has great features
always enjoy playing at the Diplomat. Staff is friendly. Facilities are useful.
Beautiful Course
Very sad that it rained 8" the 3 days prior to our HOT DEAL previously booked tee time. The Course was soaked to say the least but the layout was great. Only a few people were playing Would love to play again when it's dry.

Good assitent
Great course. Staff not accommodating.
The course and facilities are great. But when i showed up early and asked to be put out earlier ( if there was an opening), I got the cold shoulder.
Awesome course!! Great shape of holes and perfect fast greens
This course is great! A little expensive but worth the money. The course is in immaculate condition.
Average experience
Fairways in average condition, tee boxes covered with sand on the day we played, greens in good condition, overall ok - as we got a good deal with GolfNow price/value was ok. Friendly staff.
Beautiful layout and great facilities
This course design is fantastic and everything is in top condition. Not the longest or most difficult course, but a lot of fun to play. Visually stunning.
