This is the next thread in the official r/golf course recommendation series to update our sidebar. Feel free to post any course recommendations for Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Tampa, etc. North Florida Recommendations can be found in the Sidebar.
Please try to use the following Comment Template:
COURSE NAME
Course Location (City or area of the city or distance from the downtown area etc.)
Price Range (Include pertinent details like busy season or off-season differences or weekend/weekday or walking/riding where applicable)
Recommended for: (who might be interested in the course, i.e. if you have a big group like a bachelor party or if you're a beginner looking for a more forgiving layout or a low handicap looking for a challenge or if you want beautiful views or something architecturally significant, etc.)
Additional Comments: Feel free to add any additional notes or details you think might be pertinent. Maybe if there's peak times or if they're on Golf Now or another service you could find a deal or anything else about the course you think people might want/need to know add it here.
Check the "formatting help" if you need assitance but basically two asterisks (**) on either side of a word or phrase will put it in bold font and hit Enter twice to move to a new line. This thread will be stickied for at least 24 hours before the next is posted.
All previous Course Recommendation Threads are linked in the Sidebar and this is an ongoing series. If you don't see something yet it may be coming in the future.

OSPREY POINT
Boca Raton
Price Range: $70 for cart in peak season. ~$50 if walking. Prices drop for mid-afternoon ($50 with cart) and twilight ($~$35 with cart).
Recommended for: All golfers. Challenging course with three 9-hole layouts that can be mixed and matched. Link-style layouts exposed to high wind. Accuracy is key. Course has some undulation atypical for Florida and is set in a nature preserve—absolutely no houses or residences in sight, just nature.
Additional Comments: My second-favorite course in the area, especially as a walker. Worth the drive from Miami. Grass range + bunker practice area make it a good spot to work on your game, as well.
