Pembroke Lakes Golf & Racquet Club

Overview: Pembroke Lakes Golf & Racquet Club is an 18-hole public course at 10500 Taft Street in Pembroke Pines. The city scorecard lists a par of 72 and 6,815 yards from the championship tees. The layout uses South Florida water hazards, coquina waste areas and six tee sets, with the current city materials identifying John Sanford as course architect.

History: Pembroke Lakes opened to the public in 1969 and is owned by the City of Pembroke Pines. The course underwent a $7 million renovation in 2007, after which John Sanford's work became the central design reference in the city's current golf materials. The property remains a municipal golf and racquet club with public daily-fee play.
