Poor Hello
By far. The best public Golfcourse for 100 miles in any direction. Plays like a country club!

Last day of golf for us and this place was probably the best actually. Course was in perfect condition. Fairways and greens seemed a different grass than the others in the area. No rough anywhere. Greens were mint. Not fast but rolled true. We played the Raven and Hawk. Staff was grumpy today. Guy in the clubhouse refused to allow me to get ice in my cooler bag. You sir are a douche. The starter ( Canadian no less my countryman) was also a bit of a duck … oops spelling mistake lol Place is awesome. Major practice facility for all skill levels. Really nice property. Course was tough. Short from the blues but very challenging and pin point style play. Honestly I think this place is the best one we played. Thankfully we met Joe from Long Island at the end and talked pizza and shared our mutual affinity for tomato pies. Thanks Joe!!

I played here for the first time yesterday, and I have to say—this is one of the most beautiful and well-maintained courses I’ve seen in South Florida. The conditions were excellent, and overall, the staff—including the rangers and other team members—were incredibly polite, helpful, and respectful. Everyone treated us well… except for one person. Unfortunately, the starter was so unnecessarily rude that it genuinely took away from an otherwise great experience. It was our first time playing the course, so my friend and I weren’t sure where to go or whether both starting tickets were needed. Before we could even ask, the starter abruptly demanded both tickets and pointed vaguely toward the first tee—no welcome, no clarification, just attitude. He then told us he’d call us when it was our turn, again in the most dismissive tone possible. While we waited, we walked over to the putting green. I need glasses and didn’t notice the sign saying it was closed. Instead of calmly letting us know, the starter practically shouted, “CAN HE READ?” toward me. I didn’t want to get angry or make a scene—especially because this guy could’ve been my grandpa—but it was honestly hard to believe someone in a customer-facing role would act like that. After the front 9, we politely asked him which back 9 we were playing. His response: “YOU’RE PLAYING HAWK, AND YOU’RE BACK HERE BY 8.” No eye contact, no courtesy, just barking instructions like we were kids who’d done something wrong. When we finished the round, we noticed someone had left their rangefinder. We rolled down the window and said, “Excuse me, sir”—he didn’t even acknowledge us. We handed it to him so it could be turned in to lost and found and said, “Thank you, have a good night.” All he said was: “Yeah.” This is genuinely one of the best golf courses I’ve played in the area, and the rest of the staff—rangers included—were excellent. But this one individual was by far the most miserable and unprofessional person I’ve encountered at any course.

I could play here everyday! Wide open off the tee. Fairways have to be the best in South Florida. Greens are not the fastest but no dry spots on them. I loved it! 6-14-25 This place is a joke. 20% increase for our big group because we booked ahead of time. They are trying anyway to get some extra money.
