Okay, so today I’m gonna walk you through my experience at the Inverrary Country Club in Lauderhill. It was a mixed bag, to be honest, but I’ll give you the lowdown.
First off, I heard about this place from a buddy who plays golf regularly. He kept raving about the East Course, saying it was a real challenge. I’m always up for a challenge, so I decided to check it out. I booked a tee time online – pretty straightforward process, no complaints there.
Got to the club, and the first thing that struck me was the sheer size of the place. It’s massive. The clubhouse is decent, nothing too fancy, but it’s clean and well-maintained. Checked in, grabbed a coffee, and headed out to the driving range to warm up. The range was okay, a little beat up, but it did the trick.
Now, the East Course… my buddy wasn’t lying. It’s tough. The fairways are narrow, and there’s water everywhere. I mean, everywhere. I lost a good few balls that day, let me tell you. The greens were fast and undulating, which made putting a real pain. I spent more time in the sand than I care to admit. Seriously, I felt like I was on a beach vacation, except instead of relaxing, I was cursing my terrible bunker shots.
The course layout is interesting, though. Some really challenging holes, and a few that are more forgiving. It definitely tests your shot-making ability. You need to be accurate off the tee, and you need to be able to control your distances. Otherwise, you’re gonna be in trouble.
I played with a couple of guys I got paired up with, which was cool. They were both members, and they knew the course like the back of their hand. Gave me some good tips, which I promptly ignored and then proceeded to shank my next shot into the water. Oh well, you live and learn, right?
After the round, we grabbed a beer at the clubhouse bar. The service was good, the beer was cold, and the company was even better. We talked about the round, laughed at my terrible shots (they were laughing with me, I think), and generally had a good time.
Overall Thoughts:
- Pros: Challenging course, good company, decent facilities.
- Cons: Course can be a bit punishing for high handicappers, driving range could be better.
Would I go back? Yeah, probably. It’s a good test of golf, and I like a challenge. Plus, I’m determined to conquer that East Course. Maybe next time I’ll actually listen to my buddy’s advice and bring a few extra sleeves of balls.
So, that’s my Inverrary experience. Take it for what it’s worth. It’s not the fanciest club in the world, but it’s a solid golf course with a friendly atmosphere. If you’re in the Lauderhill area and looking for a round, give it a shot. Just be prepared to lose a few balls.
