About this course

The course presents a unique blend of challenges and accessibility. Wide fairways and strategically placed bunkers characterize the layout, offering a forgiving experience for beginners while demanding thoughtful shot selection from more seasoned players. The course isn't particularly known for its difficulty, but locals enjoy the wildlife it attracts since it was converted from a former landfill.

Its transformation into a community hub makes it a popular after-work round for locals.

Getting there
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport lies just fifteen miles east, making Plantation Preserve Golf Club one of South Florida's most accessible private sanctuaries. The drive west follows the urban pulse of Broward Boulevard before yielding to the manicured calm of Plantation's residential corridors, where the transition from coastal sprawl to gated tranquility unfolds in mere minutes. For members arriving by private aircraft, Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport offers a discreet alternative with direct access to the western suburbs. The final turn through the preserve's gates delivers an immediate sense of removal - a verdant enclave carved from the Everglades fringe, improbably serene given its proximity to the Atlantic coast.
