Grand Palms Country Club - Sabal Course Notes

Hollywood Lakes Country Club - East Course opened in November 1964 followed by the Hollywood Lakes Country Club - West Course which was open by 1966.

In 1988, Hollywood Lakes Country Club began its conversion from 2 18-hole golf courses into 3 9-hole golf courses. During the conversion process, there were always 18 holes open. The East Course was worked on first, starting in 1988 and the West Course was worked on starting in 1989.

During the conversion process, in January 1989, the Hollywood Lakes Country Club changed their name to Hollywood Palms Country Club. This was short-lived, because in February 1989, after hints from officials from the City of Pembroke Pines, the name was changed to Grand Palms Country Club.

This 1947 aerial clearly defines the remnants of The Floranada South Golf Course. The circular hub was the center of the City of Floranada which is today the corner of Floranada Road and US 1.



Floranada Club South Golf Course Notes

The city of Floranada (Florida + Canada) was incorporated on November 25, 1925 by a group of wealthy individuals, lead by Gwendolyn Maitland 'Countess of Lauderdale', to create another Palm Beach. The overall plans for The Floranada Club called for two golf courses.


From the book 'Oakland Park' by Anne Sallee, p.58

The American British Improvement Association which was the company in charge of the project went bankrupt shortly after a major hurricane hit on September 18, 1926 and the collapse of the Florida land boom. By that time construction of The Florananda Inn was started and the south golf course designed by William Flynn was constructed. By July 1, 1929 the town of Floranada was abolished. In Anne Sallee's book entitled 'Oakland Park', the title of the chapter regarding Floranada is beautifully called "The Era of Wonderful Nonsense".
