Executive course

This course has seen vast improvements over the past few months! Some of the greens have some rough spots but overall pretty good shape. I would recommend this course and I will be playing here again soon.

Needs some work

Grass is rough but they are working on it.. I'd give it a while before I went back there.
Didnt feel like we played 18, because the back 9 is basically all par 3s. So nice if you want to work on your short game. Not great if you want to drive the ball

Pace of play

Played Sanctuary (1:56 pace) and Meadows (1:34 pace) courses. Staff encouraged us to speed up play since there were two holes open in front of our foursome. The group in front was a twosome and play was backed up in back of us. First group of players in back of our foursome was a group of 3 gentlemen playing from the forward tees. While our pace of play was not blazing fast, we were playing AT PACE with what management had posted. Perhaps some more active engagement by the starter would have been helpful for all concerned. This kind of "encouragement" can seem like a mild form of harassment (in the moment) but is understandable from a membership point of view.

3/2/2019 Course review

Pennbrooke offers 3 nine hole courses. Two short and one regulation sized. The course is poorly kept up with ant hills in all the fairways and tee boxes. The greens on the other hand are in excellent shape and run a little slowly. Not recommended for the advanced player.

Good value for the money

If you don't mind playing a regulation 9 and an executive 9 for your 18, you might find this course interesting. The holes are well designed and thought out, and the tees and fairways are in decent shape. The greens are in excellent shape right now, perhaps the best conditions in the area.
You are not likely to get a better value in the dead of winter here. The Sanctuary course is nice, and the other two nines are just pleasant, short executive length layouts.

Nice coarse for good practice

Been playing this coarse for a month on Saturday with unlimited ( we normally played 27)golf which was nice considering the 2 shorter coarse play fast , but this last Saturday we were informed that we could only play 18 because we paid thru golf now at a discount rate. We were told they changed because the carts are being occupied even though there was 15 plus cart waiting when we left. Just a heads up for anybody else that played on Saturday before.

Pennbrooke fairways has never offered an "all you can play" for Golf Now customers. Golf Now specifically states 9 or 18 holes. Should you have any further questions or concerns please contact me at 352-728-3200. Thank you. Sue Mann, Pro Shop Manager

Pennbrooke fairways

The course is great for seniors the two short courses are excellent for your short game and the long nine will test your game.
It will be nice when the power company is done digging.

A decent challenge for the money

Both the Sanctuary and Meadows are in pretty good shape for this time of year. The price is right, and you will enjoy the Sanctuary as a full-length nine. The Meadows (and the Oaks) are executive length, but still interesting if you can accept 200 yard par 4's and a bunch of sub-100-yard par 3's. Pace of play was fine and the greens were in great shape. Beats shoveling snow in February any day of the week!

Sanctuary was backed up, Oaks played quickly. Fairways are rough—recent rains affected their condition. Staff is great.

Great deal

We play here every week, it's a nice course they have 3 9 hole courses one is longer the other 2 are inside the sub division and are pretty short. The 18 holes you play are the long one and one of the other two in rotation. all the courses are in good shape more often than not, and we tend to finish in a little over 2 hours so it's nice for Sunday especially with the $15 green fee.
