Parkland Golf & Country Club is a Greg Norman design located in the western suburbs of Fort Lauderdale in Parkland, Florida. The course opened in the late 1980s during a period when Norman was establishing his design practice and creating layouts throughout South Florida. The routing takes advantage of the area's natural pine and cypress landscape, incorporating native vegetation and water features characteristic of the region's wetland ecology. The design reflects Norman's preference for strategic bunkering and generous landing areas balanced with risk-reward opportunities around the greens. Water comes into play on multiple holes, typical of South Florida golf, where natural drainage patterns and environmental preservation requirements shape course architecture. The layout moves through stands of mature trees that provide definition and frame playing corridors, offering a parkland aesthetic distinct from the region's more open resort-style courses. Parkland Golf & Country Club serves a private membership and functions as the centerpiece of a residential community. The club offers traditional country club amenities including tennis facilities and a clubhouse with dining services. The course conditions and maintenance standards reflect the expectations of South Florida's competitive private club market, where year-round play is possible due to the subtropical climate. The Parkland area itself has grown significantly since the course's construction, evolving from a relatively rural setting into an established suburban community known for its schools and family-oriented character.
