Palumbo's Golf Course opened in May 1953 and was exclusively for African Americans. It was about half the size of what the course would become.

In the late 1950s more land was purchased, and the course's 9 holes were redesigned to fit the extra land.

Over time, the Palumbo's Golf Course was renamed the Dania Country Club.

The Dania Country Club closed in the late 1970s.

South Side Golf Course Notes

The South Side Golf Course opened on December 1, 1920 and was built by the City of Fort Lauderdale with 9 holes playing about 2800 yards.

President-elect Warren Harding played the golf course in 1921, putting Fort Lauderdale on the national map.

The hurricane of 1926 turned the golf course into a sand-blown prairie.

In 1929, the South Side Golf Course was removed by City officials for the construction of the Fort Lauderdale airport.

The Silver Thatch Inn was built in the 1930s by the Jelk family. The opening date of the Silver Thatch Inn Pitch & Putt Golf Course is unknown, but I would assume the 1950s.

Around 1963, the Silver Thatch Inn Pitch & Putt Golf Course was removed for tennis courts.
