Briar Bay Golf Course

Great course, mainly for those who haven’t played at the highest level. Briar bay is perfect for a quick round of golf. Throughout the course, you might see a couple of rough patches but one must ignore them, it’s not Augusta nationals. Looking past the rough patches, the course is well rounded.

My 12 and 14 year old daughters thoroughly enjoyed their golf experience at the Briar Bay Golf Course. They played their first game and it was just the right speed. One daughter was on par for her first hole which was very nice.
I think its only about $ 24 for the three of us if we want to bring our own push cart. That’s a very reasonable price for the girls to practice their skills allowing us to play a game of golf frequently.
I’m planning on bringing them here once a week to play a game. In between they will have golf lessons at the Biltmore with Renee Trudeau — a very good golf instructor. The Biltmore has an excellent junior golf program to train the kids to have the best meticulous golf demeanor and skills.
I’m not sure but Briar Bay Golf Course probably does have a kids program as well and I’m sure it is very nice for young ones to learn the game of golf.
The staff were professional and as nice as the Biltmore staff.
The first place I heard about this golf course was at Alf’s Golf Shop. They highly recommended this golf course for my girls as the best economical place to learn to golf.

Although I am giving it a 2 star, I do like coming here because it’s a quick 9 holes and I use it as a practice locale. Having said that, the course is in dire straights! It needs help and needs to be refurbished… Who ever is taking care of the grounds should be terminated! Such a nice location and with great potential. Please fix up the course!

This is a cheap course and great to practice your irons on as it is shorts too. Don’t expect anything great here as it is what it is for $ 15. I like playing here on occasion. Staff is very accommodating.

Matt never heard back from you. Is this standard customer service for the golf coarse. Decided to give Briar bay another try today. First person I see is the woman that called me an asshole. Then on the 3^rd whole the hard dog leg left with water on the left. One of the individuals from the 3 guys I was paired up with wanted to go ever the water. He was told not to by an employee then the grounds keeper came over to do the same. He begins interigating me asking me if I had golfed there before. 1^st off why am I getting lectured and asked questions if i had golfed there before? I did nothing wrong I hit straight. It is not my place to tell anyone what to do with there round of golf. I am there to enjoy my afternoon after work not tell people what to do. So the GROUNDS KEEPER says «if you have golfed here before why didn’t you tell him he couldn’t hit over the water?» Why am I being asked this in a manner that a parent would lecture a child. This is 2 for 2. You guys need to find out what the hell is going on over at Briar bay. I do not go out there to get lectured or tell people what to do. I pay to play my round of golf that’s all why are people being treated this way at Briar bay? Why would I want to go out there ever again. I did the right thing and hit straight on the hole. Someone else was doing something wrong and a grounds keeper decides to lecture me? Why? Because I was the only one dressed for the gold coarse? What possible explanation kcan I get now that would male things right. The one person that told me he was going to do something never did. I figured it was a fluke the first time but on the contrary it seems to be the norm. Why would I want to spend my free time and money getting treated like that?

nice spot to do a quick 9 holes on the cheap

This is the golf course to go to as a beginner. The cost is twelve dollars around, six more if you want a pull cart.
The course is nine holes, but will still take a couple hours to get through if you golf like my friends and I. This is simply a relaxed fun place to come and play bad golf. 8 of the 9 holes are straight, though many have water hazards so bring extra balls. Many are simple par 3’s with bunkers around the green, and then a couple, 3,5, and 6 are much longer and will actually let you use your driver (maybe not 3 if you can really hit).
Everyone working here is nice, and helpful. They will not rush you, and if you take a large chunk out of the grass no one will give you a problem. Just try to replace your divit.
There is not that much shade on the course, so wear a hat. shirts with collars are not requiered, but it is good form to wear one, even if we are slumming it on this course.
Every one is supposed to have their own set of clubs, but the staff will look the other way if you share a set between two people as long as you keep moving along. Also if it is a slow day, they will also let you go out as a group of five.
Beer and gatorade are sold in the front office, as are candy bars, tees, balls, and other little things. There are bathrooms at the beginning, and also out on the course after 3, or on the way back you will hit them again after 6. They are cleanish, but I get to stand when I use them. My women friends have never really complained when they used them.
You are allowed to smoke cigars (though I hate it when my friends do) on the course, and beer is also allowed.
Have fun, and remember that if you are holding other groups up, take a break and let them play through.

This is a short, 9-​hole «executive golf course.» Mostly comprised of par-​3s and a couple short par-​4s, it’s a place where it’s possible to get in a quick round. Which of course doesn’t always happen, when you have crappy golfers pretending like they are Tiger & Phil facing off in the final round of the Masters. You people aren’t good enough to take that long, so get up there and hit the damned ball already!
Yet, this is a common complaint on all South Florida courses, so I can’t knock this particular course too much for that. Typical idiocy aside, it’s an enjoyable course, especially if you want to work on your short and mid-​range game. Leave the big sticks in the bag for this one, as there is not one hole where bombing a drive 300 yards will be advantageous.
The course is actually on the tough side for an executive course, with holes 2 and 3 especially taking you by surprise. #2 is a tight par 4 with a row of residences to the left; as usual, I’ve duck-​hooked balls in there many times. And even if you do manage to keep it safe off the tee, 2’s green is the size of a postage stamp. #3 requires a finesse mid-​range iron shot off the tee, then an intimidating 8-​iron shot over water. It’s not what I would call a forgiving «ego course.» It’s not my favorite place to play, but it’s decent for what it is.

This course is not even worth the $ 4 per round that I paid via Groupon. The grounds and greens are in horrible condition and it’s staffed by the crankiest, most hard headed octogenarians I have ever seen (This being South Florida, that’s a pretty bold statement)
What’s even worse is that no one in the course knew anything about golf etiquette. Most of the players were 20 year old in dire need of adult supervision; they were driving carts over greens, being loud, littering around the course.
Do yourself a favor and stay away
