ABOUT FORT LAUDERDALE COUNTRY CLUB
Plantation, FL | Established in 1926, Fort Lauderdale Country Club is proud to be the oldest private country club in Broward County. In Broward County, Fort Lauderdale Country Club offers 36 holes of manicured championship golf for its members, with easy access from the beaches, the east side, Plantation, and other nearby residential areas. Members enjoy golf in a forested park-like setting, with the finest practice facilities and the most welcoming membership.
Visually, the Club is truly a unique oasis, with fairways lined with stately indigenous trees and colorful flower beds, rather than houses. A competitive tournament schedule keeps our members engaged, along with daily “throw-ins” to suit everyone’s schedule and ability level. The club takes great pride in their facilities as seen in the recent $9 million dollar renovation on the South Course and a future $10 million in renovations within the club’s master plan.
