About this course

Plantation Preserve at Plantation Preserve Golf Club exists as a testament to community revitalization in western Broward County. Built on the site of a former landfill, this par-62 course, a design by Steve Smyers and Ron Whitten, emerged in 2006 as an environmental reclamation project. 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. Plantation Preserve distinguishes itself through its commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement. Beyond golf, the facility offers amenities such as walking trails and educational resources, promoting a healthy lifestyle and ecological awareness for Plantation residents. 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.
