First timer

Heavy rain mandated cart path only, but fairways drained nicely for the most part. Rental clubs were in great shape, bathrooms and beverage cart added to make an enjoyable round. As a single golfer, got paired up with a father and son duo and we enjoyed each other's company. Would definitely play here again if in the area.

Pace of play AWFUL

Played as a single and it took 5 hours and 45 min to finish. Insane for the price. Course was solid but pace of play made it extremely unenjoyable.

1 Word: Overpriced.

Course layout is awesome. Excellent piece of property despite having houses on every hole. Some pretty cool par 3s over water.

That’s where the positives end. This course is a joke in terms of pace of play. Teed af 10am thinking it would help avoid some of the slow downs that typically happen later in the day but the course was already backed up by then. 2 hours 40 mins for the front 9, and was on pace for a 3 hour back nine.

The course condition is also a joke. Greens are so patchy, par 3 tee boxes don’t have a bit of grass in them, and there are rangers driving around who don’t even enforce pace of play.

And the practice facility was also comical. Not a single piece of grass to hit off of. Honestly I think the course would be a deal for $35, and the max I would pay to play it again would be $50, but this place charges between 70 and 100. Outrageous.

For $100, drive up to Boca and play Osprey Point. 4:15 pace on a beautiful course that is extremely well maintained. NEVER play this again until they lower prices.

Good value course in Broward County

Great layout, the staff are very friendly and the service and amenities are good. Can get a little busy this the slow pace of play. But its good value for money.

Amazing course

Overall experience was great. Pace of play was okay for the most part..didn’t get to finish my round though. Played a twosome and was allowed to play through a couple of threesomes, but then got stuck behind a very slow foursome. Kept meeting them on the tee box and they refused to let us play through, so that was disappointing.

Greens rolling tee boxes need work

This is a very challenging course, nice layout, played in about four hours on a Friday, which is very good, greens rolling true and fast, tee boxes and some fairways need more tlc for this formidable venue.
