Briar Bay Golf Course, opened in 1975, is an affordably priced executive course that stretches out over 30 acres. The course presents challenges for all players, beginning to advanced. The layout features elevated greens that are small and fast, narrow fairways that are protected with bunkers. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. Although it is located near a residential area the course promises an interesting layout that goes in every direction. Briar Bay Golf Course facility lacks some of the amenities of a private club, but they do boast a practice green and a clubhouse.

Mislead by golf now

Golf now showed this course as an 18 hole with cart included. When I arrived at the course the club house was a shed, and the course is only a 9 hole course. The golf now price only gets you 1 round, but they try to sell you on a second time through for half price. Pace of play was terrible as I sat in the second tee box for 30 min before leaving the course. Conditions of course was not bad though.

Affordable Course

This is not a course for an event or for the appearances and amenities. It is solely for improvement and to get better. Price is good and the course layout can be challenging with a couple of holes but overall great for beginners. Not intimidating but could use better carts and amenities. Overall good experience for the price.

Great value course

Very slow pace for beginners but the course is tough with the traps and water on a lot of holes. The tee boxes were destroyed and had tons of divots.

Good course to practice short game

I like this course because I can bring my kids with me. I like to play only 9 holes and It is close to my house
The course needs some maintenance but overall I would recommend this course to anyone that wants to practice.

Coarse course

While the 1 staff member we encountered was friendly, the course itself is in desperate need of a rehab. Sandy greens, overgrown rough and overall poor health

It's obviously a locals course but could definitely use an injection of money. They ran out of carts, signage is poor and can't say I've played a poorer condition course in South Florida. Very sad as could be a cute 9 hole. Just needs some love.

Staff is rude. Trying to pair me and a stranger instead of who I came with. Throwing her hands up saying wow.
