Unlike a lot of Ft. Lauderdale area muni courses, Pembroke Lakes actually has really nice turf. Rather than spotty and paper-thin grass, the fairways are consistent and well maintained. Greens weren't pocked with ball marks and seemed to roll true. Played 18 in 4:15 on a Saturday, so no complaints about pace of play either. All-in-all, a very nice course for the money.

We had a 12:45 tee time on the Nicklaus Tournamnet course. We finished the front in 2 hours and as we were heading to 10, one of the staff stopped us and said things were a little slow on the back and they were concerned we wouldn't finish before dark. So we were offered options - continue to 10 and hope for the best, play the front again (which was almost empty at this time) or play the front 9 on the Stadium Course. We jumped at the chance to play the Stadium course and had the front 9 entirely to ourselves. We got in well before dark and had a wonderful experience. The staff there went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. I highly recommend either course.
