INVERRARY COUNTRY CLUB (954 -733-7550)
East Course
Florida Golf Course Review 11/13/04
General information
Inverarry Country Club in Lauderhill provides 36 holes of high quality, wonderfully conditioned championship golf,
on Robert Trent Jones Sr. layouts that are similar in topography and design. The legendary East Course has
been host to 15 PGA and LPGA Championships - with tournament conditions everyday! The West Course is a
fine complement. Both courses are classic tree-lined layouts, with slightly raised and well bunkered green
complexes featuring quick, true rolling and mildly undulating putting surfaces. The fairways are generous, but
sand traps and trees make choice of landing areas important. Water comes into play on quite a few holes with canals that line the fairways, although there are few forced carries.
On property is a full service pro shop - with lockers and showers for members, plus a restaurant/lounge that
features beverages, snacks and hot and cold sandwiches. There is a grass/mat range, a huge putting green,
plus a short game area with practice bunker. On course golfers will find color coded pin placements, plus
yardage blocks on the fairways at 100, 150 and 200 yards - and cart paths are also marked. Some sprinkler
heads are also measured to the center of the green. Cart covers are standard on all carts, protecting clubs during inclement weather.
EAST COURSE
The images in this review are of the East Course, which features water in play on 8 holes, with 66 sand bunkers
situated along the fairways or greenside. This par 72 layout provides 4 tee areas with yardages/slopes
measuring 7112/128, 6517/123, 6057/121 for men and 131 for women, and 5432 yards with a playable slope of
117 from the forward tees. The greens here are large and only mildly undulating - land in regulation and good
scores can be had. The par threes on the east Course are quite interesting, with water prominent on numbers 3,
7 and 12, and huge, intricate bunkering guarding the putting surface on the 210 yard 15th. All four play 198 plus
from the tips, but are of reasonable distance from the remaining sets of tees - as the group is ranked as the 15th
-18th handicaps. For more info, visit our page for Inverrary East, with a direct link to their website by clicking here
