Great layout, highly recommend
Great course to play with your irons, will definitely play again
GREAT PUBLIC COURSE IN PBG
COURSE WAS RECENTLY AERATED AND THY ACCOMIDATED ALL GUESTS WITH A $10 COUPON ON NEXT VISIT. GREENS WERE GREAT. COURSE LAYOUT IS GREAT. A COUPLE OF TOUGH HOLES, BUT ALL IN ALL A GREAT PUBLIC COURSE IN PALM BEACH GARDENS.
Surprisingly great track
What a gem! Superb shape, both fairways and greens. Up to par with much for expensive private clubs. Greens were a decent speed and rolled very true. More difficult than the slope would indicate.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Maybe the only drawback was the lake driving range using floater balls. On the other hand, the balls felt better than I remembered from 20 years ago, the last time I hit floaters.
One other caution: gators! I saw two and both were pretty close before I realized they were there.
Outstanding
One of the nicest courses around. Difficult but not so much that the average golfer won't have fun. It's hard, but beautiful and so enjoyable
Outstanding
This is one of the gems in South Florida. Great condition all around, beautiful, charming and challenging in one. Has moved to the top of my favorite courses
Great condition
This is a beautiful course that is in peak condition. A lot of water and some holes are very narrow and challenging. Bring extra balls if your control is still in progress.
Danger
It can happen on any golf course. The 3 of us were walking off the green on the 8th hole and right at are Carts a golf ball hit my sister in law in the back shoulder area. Just missed hitting her in the head. NO ONE ever yelled fore!!! How about waiting 30 seconds until we get into our carts and move. I waited to say something to the jerk , not even an apology or how was she feeling. Just said I yelled fore Over all the staff were concerned and helpful in reprimanding the jerk. Just wait for the group to clear next time before you hit.
Very slow
We were combined with two very good golfers who were painfully slow. We tried to get away from them due to not wanting to go off in the rain, but the starter insisted that we go. The starter actually had to talk to the guys on the first tee—what does that tell you.
No ranger activity for 13 holes. We walked off due to thunder, but could have completed round if the two had even played at a faster rate. Overall, food was the best part of the day.
Great Course
One of the best well kept courses I have played on in this area. Green and fairways in good shape. People are friendly. Would highly recommend this course.
Great conditions and fun course
The course is in excellent shape - well maintained and fun to play
By far, the best overall, value in the area...Fairways, greens and tee boxes in great shape for a public access course; with many tee options for all levels...Facility/clubhouse beautifully appointed and consideration for abundant wildlife...a “Go-To” destination every time as a golf choice!
A great course
The course has some water, a beautiful layout. Bunkers are tough but fair. Definitely recommend.
Beautiful course with lots of challenges
Nice layout, great shape with good practice facilities. Great pace too
Early Sunday morning
I played early Easter Sunday as a twosome and didn’t wait at all. Course was in excellent condition. Greens were very fast and ran true. Would for sure come back.
Hidden Gem
It’s a bit of a hike west to get here, but worth the trek. Greens were in fantastic shape and a very friendly staff. Definitely some very quirky holes, but a lot of fun. Front 9 is open with lots of water, back 9 goes into the woods a bit and has much more character.
Nice course in great shape
Consistently in great shape, the course is challenging yet fair. The new clubhouse is very nice and good food options.
