Golfer’s Guide South Florida Golf Courses Stories

After two successful years of providing golf to young hospital patients throughout the South Florida Section, The South Florida PGA Foundation has received additional support to help fund the Smiling Fore Life Program from the Florida Junior Golf Council.   A special thanks to the Florida Junior Golf Council for their $7,000 grant to The South Florida PGA Foundation in support of the Smiling Fore Life Program.  

With the help of six South Florida PGA Professionals, the Smiling Fore Life Program has touched over 600 young children throughout the South Florida community.  It has given them an opportunity to learn a new sport, get outside, and clear their mind from the challenges they are facing.  This grant will help this program continue to grow and impact the lives of more children throughout the community.

“Unbelievable” best describes the overall appearance and atmosphere at Madison Green Golf Club (a.k.a. - The Links at Madison Green).

The vision statement reads, “We will create a high-end golf club the public can enjoy with the amenities of a private club at a value price.”
With a slight name adjustment, the opening of a new restaurant, lounge, bar, an outside patio, a new pro shop and locker rooms there’s a lot more to Madison Green Golf Club than ever before.

The 18-hole championship course designed by John Sanford has received numerous accolades. Florida Golf Magazine hailed the course as the “Best New Public Course” in Palm Beach County in 2001 citing excellent course conditions and service. Independent raters and readers have the course consistently listed among the top 20 in Florida on Golflink.com and Golf Magazine gives it 4.8 out of 5 stars. Golf Digest has named Madison Green Golf Club among its “Best Places to Play” the past three years.

Two recently restored championship golf courses, private club atmosphere, impeccable service and varied programs to meet the discriminating golfer’s needs, Scratch Golf introduces the best option for your next round of golf in sunny South Florida! Ten million dollars was spent to upgrade Jacaranda’s New East Course & West Course settting an extraordinary benchmark for golf course design. 

The addition of Sea-Dwarf Paspalum grass to the tees and fairways has given an entirely new look to one of South Florida’s foremost golfing experiences. Over the past two summers Jacaranda has created “living works of landscape art” while retaining the playability of championship golf. Luxurious new Tif-Dwarf putting surfaces, tightly manicured collection areas, plush emerald green fairways, and bunkering have been added, designed in such a natural way that risk/reward golf has never looked so enticing.
