Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2018.
Situated just minutes from historic downtown Delray Beach, Polo Trace Golf Club is one of south Florida's premier golf courses. It is a links-style layout that plays over 7,000 yards, making it the perfect place for long hitters. Karl Litten, a well known name in south Florida golf, designed the course as closely as possible to the traditional links courses of the British Isles while staying true to the landscape. The layout features long, rolling fairways and dramatic elevation changes from tee to green. The golf course incorporates elements of Florida golf into its links design, such as the presence of water hazards on 13 holes, an unprecedented occurrence on Scottish courses but a typical characteristic of those in Florida. Polo Trace is popular for offering a challenging layout at an affordable price.

course in great shape
course was in great shape and played well, it was challenging but fair. staff was friendly and helpful
Polo Trace is in Great Shape
My buddy and I played in about 3:40---the course was in great shape and the staff were courteous and helpful. Recommend it highly.
Good value during off season!
Overall a good value during the summer. Some of the tee boxes (white) were in terrible shape. Still a challenging course as usual!
Course needs maintenance
Greens are excellent, but the rest of the course needs weeding
tough layout that needs maitanence
tough course especially wit the wind. greens are fast and in great shape. the rest of the course not in the shape the greens are. A couple bunkers in disrepair. Still a good course that could be in better shape. Overpriced for the conditions, but pace of play during off hours makes it worth it.
Greens were in great shape
Signed up as a single expecting to be paired up. Unfortunately I was not paired up, and played the course myself, which is not much fun. Greens were in great shape but the fairways had some weeds. I paid $65 + tax from golfnow.com, which was a deal. But I don't think it was worth any more than that. I would play it again, but certainly wouldn't pay full price.
not happy
course was in sad shape!!! tee boxs sand and crabgrass!!!!! fairways crabgrass and clovers!!!!! greens pockmarked and some had clovers on them!!!!!! to see the price they are asking for green fees and so called cart fees they should be ashamed to think they are anything more then a 2 star course!!!!!!!!!!!! i will never play there again or tell anyone to every play there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor poor poor
If you want a play a 25$ value golf course and pay 100$... You are at a good place..no more maintenance on this course...a question of time before they go bankrupcy !!
Realllllllllyyyy Pooooorr
If you want to play a 25$ value course but pay 100$.... You are at the right place !!
No more maintenance on this course....a question of time before they go bankrupcy!!
never is too soon
Terrible shape. Nice layout but due to conditions not enjoyable. Starter was friemdly and helpful. Practice facilities were awful A $25 experience. This is worth $95 like the blue mobster is worth 450
Not worth the money
This course is not worth the price we payed. It has gone down hill since years past and is poor condition!!! I brought 7 friends and apologized for days:(
Poor Fairway and Teebox conditions
Over priced for the condition of the golf course. Serious issues with tee boxes and fairways Full of weeds. Greens were in fairly good condition although slow. Will not play again this season.
Not worth a $90 fee... more like $40 value
We were disappointed in overall condition of the course. It is grossly overpriced. Surprised the driving range is for irons only.
Nice layout but a bit overly taxing physically for Senior Golfers. Very friendly and helpful staff.
The restaurant looked inviting but we did not take time to grab a bite there.
Nice Day
Greens were good; rolled true
Nice course routing and plenty of local wildlife
Paired with wonderful member
Fairways shaggy, weedy and need some attention
Condition of driving range teeing area very poor
I had a nice, relaxing round of golf, but was disappointed in overall condition of course based on the rating and price. Not nearly as nice as advertised on this website.
Good course but overpriced
Course is very good. conditions ok but not great for the price of the round. I would have expected better conditions for the money
Nice Course , no maintenance
it is a great course it is too bad that it is not maintain to the level of its potential, do not understand why they charge a steep rate to play and keep the course in such poor condition. maybe one day ?????
Great course and fast round
This is a very good golf course that is challenging from any set of tees. The greens were in very good condition and rolled well. Although the fairways and tees were not pristine, they were in good shape. The staff if extremely friendly and accommodating. Our midday round took just 3 1/2 hrs to complete in mid season which is outstanding. While the price is higher than other courses, the course, pace of play and staff make it a value.
Nice layout
Nice course.
Greens are slower than expected but rolled true.
Fairways in very good condition and wide open so you can spray the drive and still have a shot to greens.
Tee boxs are a little shagy but I prefer shag over chewed up dirt box.
Nobody behind or in front which made for a nice pace of play.
You won't be disappointed, staff very friendly, great course!
Thanks golfnow for the free round!!!
overprice
The course had nobody on it due to the pricing, also they let condition fall off, listen for under $40 it would be ok, but you're not going to find that
Good course
Not your typical flat boring Florida course. This is a real nice layout but the greens were surprisingly bland. We expected very fast, multi-tiered greens but they don't exist here. If you like slower greens then you might give the course an excellent rating. The fairways were the best we've seen in the area this time of the year. Several holes are a real challenge. Holes 9,10,11 are each par 5 and definitely get your attention. Several tee boxes are multi-leveled and have a brick walkup to the box, nice touch. You might miss the challenge on the greens but all in all a very nice So Fla course.
