Poinciana Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The Poinciana Golf Club has recently re-opened under NEW MANAGEMENT and has done extensive renovations to the golf course including NEW GREENS.
Located in western Lake Worth, Poinciana Country Club is one of several great short courses that south Florida has to offer. At just over 4,000 yards, it is a quick and challenging test of your target golf skills. The greens are small with large breaks and there are swaying palms lining the fairways. The layout consists of par 3s that range from 103 to 172 yards and par 4s that are approximately 300 yards. There are strategically placed hazards throughout the golf course that offer good short game practice for more advanced players. Poinciana Country Club can conveniently be played in less than four hours. The golf course is still gentle enough for beginners though. It is popular amongst locals but still a well kept secret from the rest of south Florida.

A Lot of Fun
Was a lot of fun, Our group had a great time. Only bad was the restaurant was closed.
Disappointed with GN
The course was rated 4*
Look up the course and it was rated 3.7
The courses condition was horrific:
1) tee boxes were non existent
2) fairways lacked grass. Consisted of dirt, sand, and weeds
3) couldn’t chip around the greens because there wasn’t any grass
4) yardages were way off
5) greens were in poor shape
6) manicured sand traps were non existent
Overall, I wouldn’t play this course again even if was free.
Pleasantly Surprised
Booked the round in the airport on our way down to Florida from New Jersey. Didn't expect much as it was the most inexpensive around and was pleasantly surprised. Golf course was in decent shape and greens were very good. It was a lot of fun and we will be back again. I recommend this course.
Good experience
As a new golfer, I found the course well kept and the staff extremely helpful. I will be back and will recommend it.
course was unbelievable
The greens were very competitive. The course was kept well groomed. I played at the course four years ago. What a change these guys did one heck of a job of a job. The course is unbelievable definitely going back price just right.
I like the course and I will recommend this course to my friends.
Parts of the course could use a little more TLC
Overall, we enjoyed our round after some confusion about where the location of the greens on the 2nd par 5 hole. It's a nice wide open course with lots of par 3's on the front and a better mix on the back. Some of the fairways could have used some more irrigation and the water holes were very low.. Several very large iguana's made for interesting on course sites to see,
Who designed this?
Ridiculous layout. Traps in front of and behind every green. The clown who designed this course had no idea who the clientele were. Played here twice and never again. On both rounds our foursomes spent a majority of our time hitting into and out of sand traps. Not an enjoyable experience at all. We were not great golfers admittedly but how much time did we need to spend trying to hit flop shots with sand wedges and lob wedges. Come on? Save your money folks. Totally frustrating poorly laid out track.
Will play again.
Staff friendly from bag drop to driving us to our car after our round.
Course in good shape and not too difficult. Perfect for my group.
Didn’t have time to enjoy clubhouse but heard good things from local golfers.
Tee off schedule too tight
We had to wait every single hole; no grass in the fairways. This game should have been finished between 3-3.5 hrs and it took almost 4.5 hrs to do the game.
