The golf course and clubhouse at Hollywood Beach Golf Club near Downtown Hollywood will be closed for construction until approximately June of 2025. This exciting General Obligation Bond project includes a complete renovation of the 18-hole golf course that includes a new irrigation system, cart paths, landscaping, course restroom renovation, and parking located at 1645 Polk Street, an addition to the existing maintenance building, and a new clubhouse.
The City of Hollywood, selected Richard Mandell Golf Architecture to re-design the course layout just blocks from downtown Hollywood. Mythology has surrounded the 18-hole course since its early 1920’s inception as it has erroneously been credited to Donald Ross in the past. The possibility exists that an unattributed 1923 plan may have been created by Willie Park, Jr., who had a professional relationship with the original developer at the time. Nonetheless, Richard is utilizing the 1923 concept as inspiration for his re-design.
As part of the new layout, existing lakes will be expanded to raise the flood-prone eastern half of the property, providing much-needed topographical character to the course as well. Greens raised above grade are all accessible from the ground yet will require precision from the air. A true City course, HBGC is surrounded by residential streets on all four sides, making it a crucial element of green space for Hollywood.
The project is expected to cost around $12 million dollars and comes on the back of multiple multi-story projects around Young Circle and the beautification project along Hollywood Boulevard.
