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".
