Orangebrook Golf & Country Club

The West Course at Orangebrook Golf & Country Club in Hollywood, Florida, was designed by A.J. Ewing, a regional architect active in South Florida during the mid-20th century. The facility sits in the densely developed corridor between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, where golf courses occupy valuable real estate amid residential and commercial growth. Orangebrook has long served as a municipal facility, providing accessible public golf in Broward County. The course reflects the design conventions typical of Florida golf from its era: relatively flat terrain shaped by water management needs, with lakes and canals integrated into the routing both for drainage and strategic interest. Palm trees and tropical vegetation frame the holes, and the layout accommodates players of varying abilities through its straightforward presentation. The South Florida climate allows year-round play, and the course sees steady traffic from both local residents and winter visitors. Orangebrook has hosted various regional amateur and professional mini-tour events over the decades, serving as a competitive venue for players developing their games in Florida's active tournament circuit. The club operates as a public facility with a practice range and clubhouse amenities that support its role as a community golf resource. The West Course, along with its companion East Course, provides traditional parkland-style golf in a region where land constraints increasingly limit the availability of full-length layouts.
