Situated just minutes from the Gold Coast beaches in the heart of Boca Raton, Southwinds Golf Course enjoys warm ocean breezes and lush vegetation. Water is a prominent presence throughout the course. Water hazards come into play on 16 holes. There are also mature trees throughout that will play a deciding role in shaping your shots. The golf course offers some enjoyably difficult holes but overall the challenges are manageable. Each hole is unique offering everything from opportunities to "grip it and rip it" and others that are defined by trees and lakes. The golf course finishes with one of its many water holes but on this par 4, you have to hit over water twice. In addition to the golf course, Southwinds also offers a driving range a putting green with a practice bunker.

Good Day at Southwinds

The course is in good condition. However, the fairway close to the greens are too hard making it difficult to chip the ball.

Interesting

The course is we'll maintained. There are a couple holes which are insanely illogical. Like hole 13. 90 degree dog leg left with a wall trees on the left from the tee box. Forcing you no choice to hit chip shot lay up. Really stupid in my opinion. Several holes, are so close to the driving range that too many balls get hit on to the playing field making it distracting and annoying. In addition, there are way to many holes with water cutting across the fairway making it nearly impossible counter if you're not a strong hitter.

Nice course

Course is in good shape with some tight fairways and water in play in almost all holes. Played from the gold's which is the longest tee box's at about 6000 yards.

Overall a good option

Course is in fairly good shape. Greens better than usual. Layout a hit too flat. Staff is great. But the 19th hole is lacking variety…..only hotdogs and basic sandwiches.
