Short but not easy

The course is surprisingly short at just under 5500 yards from the white tees, but it's not easy. There are a few blind tee shots and you need to leave the driver in the bag on a couple holes. The course was in very good shape and the greens were fast. They had more than one marshall to keep play moving, but they weren't reallly needed. Will play here again.

Poor conditions and severe layout

Where do I start? First, for $63 I expected excellent course conditions and they were far from it. Fairways were bare in sports, choked with crab grass in others. Tees were dirt, and the greens were hard as rocks. No way to even get a short iron to stick. Second, the pace of play was awful, partly because of the severity of the course layout. Third, the layout is too severe, with little room for error. Also quite a few blind tee shots and hidden hazards. All in all, I was very disappointed, especially since it's a fairly new course.

Good public course

I was pleasantly surprised by this course. It was in good shape, though the bunkers were not raked (by other players). Nice layout with a good variety of holes, but a few are a bit long. Will play again.

Two very different nines

This was a real Jeckyll-and-Hyde round. Most of the front nine is extremely tight, with some hidden hazards. I really did not like it. But then the back nine is more wide open and fair. I liked it a lot. Apparently, most of the back nine was originally a nine-hole course. They later added most of what is now the front nine. Therefore, they are very different. That said, the greens were in great shape. Some tee boxes were a bit rough, but some were closed for maintenance. Fairways were average and bunkers were packed down.

Good mix of holes

I played the red/white 18 -- the original 18 --, and both nines had three of each pars, a good mix. Course was in good shape, but they had just aerated the greens. One hole on the white nine (#4), seemed temporary, except for the green, so it played strangely. I would go back.

Good condition, challenging layout

Dead Horse Lake is the kind of course that makes you think. You can't just hit driver off of every tee, and positioning is key to a good score. The course is in overall good shape. A couple tee boxes need some work, and it would help the speed of play if they mowed some of the "wild areas" that are not far off of some holes. The course is walkable.

Great mix of links-style and tree-lined holes

This course is open in many areas, giving it a links-style feel. But it also has its share of more traditional tree-lined holes. Aside from the 11th hole, which is a real head scratcher, the layout is challenging but fair. Greens are in great shape, as are most fairways. Staff is friendly.

Nice layout, fast greens

I was forewarned that the greens were fast and were they ever! On some greens, however, the pin placement made putting a bit unfair if you were above the pin. Overall, the layout is good and the condition of the course also good. The staff were friendly and had me start on 10 to avoid playing behind a bunch of groups. At the turn, however, I was behind two foursomes that were extremely slow. Toward the end I could see that there was an entire hole open in front of them, yet they never thought to let me play through.

Improving course

I play Killian frequently as it is very close to my home. The layout is very good, though I wish they would reverse the nines as the first four holes are the toughest on the course. I love that you can walk and the conditions are improving slowly but surely. They have sand in the traps, the greens are mostly good, and I saw that they finally are fixing some of the bad tee boxes. A little more work and this could be a very nice course.

Best course in the area

I try to play Plantation Preserve several times a year, even though I live in southern Miami-Dade County. The layout is outstanding and the course conditions are usually excellent. This particular day I was put in a foursome, but we moved right along, finishing in under four hours. The staff are helpful. For the money this course is the best in the area and well worth the drive.

Great value in off-season

I played here for the first time in 20 years and found the renovations to be excellent. I barely recognized the course. It was in great shape except that all the rain had left many fairways soggy. The greens, though, were in excellent shape. The course is moderately difficult for the low handicapper. My only complaint was a foursome that would not let the singles play through.
