Public Courses Within an Hour of Hollywood Florida


BobbyMahalo

Recommended Posts

Hi,

      Every year I drive my Grandmother from Upstate NY to Hollywood Fla. This year I'm planning on bringing my clubs down because I normally stay down there for 10 days, and really want to get out and play during the winter. Does anyone have any suggestions around Hollywood to play? I plan on playing one round at Doral for a nice expensive round, but every other public track I looked up looked pretty dumpy. Let me know if you guys know of any good ones in the area.

Thank you!

Love Preserve. Jacaranda is right down the street from there as well, and its a tossup which one is nicer. Jacaranda does have two 18s if that matters to you. 

Thanks Jacaranda looks like another sweet course. Looks like I'm on my way to filling up my trip down there.

Wow just looked this course up. Looks like a hell of a course. Seems like I'm losing 100 balls there. I might have to check it out. Honestly all of the courses suggested in here seem better than Doral Blue Monster.

My best piece of advice is if you're going to miss, miss far right on most of the holes haha

Played Osprey Point other day, I’d say it’s the best in the area for the value. 
 

Played Orangebrook East today with my boy, good course for him. Conditions aren’t great but good enough for a junior.

Great info in this thread, thanks. I’m heading to Hollywood (Hard Rock) later this month. Looks like most of the options here only have a 7 day booking window, so I’ll have to check back.
 

The prices also seem a tad higher than expected (I can’t find prices for Plantation Preserve or Osprey Point). I’m at the mercy of traveling with two friends who only play a few times a year and if it’s going to be $125+ I’m going to need confidence they’ll really find it something special. Would Jacaranda fit that at $179 (or $139 afternoon)?  Looks like Emerald Hills can be had for $100-$130 midweek. Crandon and Deer Creek also in the $140 range.

Jacaranda at $179 is incredibly steep and not sure you would find it worth it, might be more palatable at $139 in the afternoon if the rate drop is early enough to get 18 in.  Emerald Hills from what I remember was never bad but conditions would be hit or miss.  No experience with Crandon or Deer Creek.

Thanks. I’m starting to think I’ll leave the clubs home and enjoy a day by the pool or something lol. Here in NJ we think of Florida as golf golf golf, but I’m kind of shocked how I’m struggling to find a good option.

It's tough this time of year since it's "in season" so everyone jacks their rates up.  Also I know Covid caused a few of the decent priced options to go under and turn into housing developments sadly.  A lot of options in Florida just stinks the better ones tend to be semi or fully private.

Who am I kidding, I’m going to play. Looks like our two best options, between price ($150ish including rental clubs) and available times are Eagle Trace and Emerald Hills. Leaning Emerald Hills because we are going straight from picking up our last guy at the airport and it’s close. Plus, tee sheet looks quite open (a little scary to be honest since everything else is packed that day).

Eagle Trace is a fun course. It has seen better days but still worth playing. It hosted the Honda classic from the mid-80s to early 90s. Very cool finishing hole/green setup.

Wound up at Emerald Hills. Fun time. Conditions were solid. They told us before we went out the greens were as fast as you’ll find. I’d say they were rolling well. Ended up getting a late start and they adjusted our rate to the after 1 pm, which saved a nice chunk (I think we paid $74 instead of the original $109 peak rate) and they let my two friends share one set of rentals, which saved them each $35. 
 

The “longest course in Florida” is a good gimmick. Even playing the 6900 tees it wasn’t overwhelmingly long, nice mix of shortish holes. But to stretch to 7800, they have several insane tees basically tucked into corners of other holes and stuff. Most noticeable is one par 3 that’s 160 from the one-up tee, but 260 from the tips, across a pond, on the side of another hole’s fairway.
