Davie real estate is attractive to home buyers and sellers for many reasons, including the location, the beauty, the amenities, the shopping, the community vibe and more. If you love everything about Davie, and you’re a golfer, you’re in luck. From outstanding public courses to upscale country club environments, there are plenty of golfing opportunities close to home.
If you’re looking for a private golf club in Davie, Grande Oaks may be for you. The club offers a Raymond Floyd-designed 18-hole Championship course, a 40-acre practice area and a newly renovated clubhouse.
If you’re a fan of the film Caddyshack, you might recognize some of the grounds since the movie was filmed here. The movie was made at a time when Grande Oaks was known as Rolling Hills Country Club, one of South Florida’s first, best and most notable golf courses.
Today the club is owned by Nova Southeastern University. The University is dedicated to preserving the charming legacy handed down from Rolling Hills, while maintaining the close-knit golfing community and uncompromising quality.
Davie Golf and Country Club is the only public course in Davie, and is in fact, owned by the Town of Davie. Many improvements were made during 2016, including re-sodding the fairways, tee boxes and the practice range. The staff is called Ambassadors of Fun, and they work hard to create entertaining and friendly experiences for all golfers. You’ll find rolling fairways and tiered greens that give players at all levels a challenge. The design eliminates the boredom of a flat landscape.
Another innovation is the Quick Golf service, which lets golfers fit a few holes into their busy schedules. Using a smartphone app, you can sign up and pay for only as many holes as you have time to play.
The Jacaranda Golf Club is a semi-private golf facility that has hosted many PGA, USGA and FSGA Championship events. Public golfers love the luxury, and you can join the community with a variety of memberships.
You’ll have the choice of two courses. The East Course is designed with evenly placed tee boxes to accommodate all levels of players, and generous fairways. The West Course is a championship layout with plenty of opportunity for exercising your mental and physical game.
The city of Plantation owns the semi-private Plantation Preserve Golf Course & Club. The Championship golf course offers challenges for beginners and seasoned pros. The facility is located where the Plantation Golf Club established its reputation, and the grounds are as beautiful as ever.
The clubhouse offers amazing views with a dining room that serves lunch daily, and an outside terrace where you can relax at the end of a round or two. With a fully-stocked pro shop, you’ll find everything you need to prepare you for adult golf lessons or junior clinics.
The Fort Lauderdale Country Club has the distinction of being the oldest private country club in Broward County, having been established in 1926. The Club offers 36 holes of Championship Golf in a park-like setting where the fairways are lined with trees and flowerbeds.
The clubhouse sponsors regular social events, and offers formal dining and casual dining both inside and outside. It’s also an excellent place to host your own event with expert catering.
The Club at Emerald Hills is a semi-private golf course and club that offers award-winning championship play. The practice facilities at the Club feature two well-maintained putting greens, chipping and pitching area and a full-length driving range. In addition, you’ll find the best brand name equipment in the Pro Shop. The clubhouse includes fitness equipment, locker rooms and an excellent place for a meal after a day of golf.

The end of February has been an important time in Davie for 80 years. The Orange Blossom Festival is often consider the star of the festivals that are held each year in South Florida. This year’s celebration will build on that reputation.
The Festival is a celebration of the rich heritage of Davie and Broward County. Florida’s governor, Napoleon Broward, convinced the legislature to drain some of the Everglades in the early 1900s. Settlers flocked to the area to take advantage of the fertile soil, and established homesteads where they grew vegetables, raised cattle and planted orange groves.
There aren’t as many orange groves today as there were when the land was first settled, but the celebration continues. In fact, the festival has come a long way. In 1937, local farmers set up a picnic area with fruit stands, and invited all their neighbors to join them in honoring a bountiful harvest. A rodeo was added to the festival in the 1940s in recognition of the growth in cattle ranches.
Davie continues to honor its historic roots by organizing a weekend of free fun that attracts kids of all ages from far and near. Mark your calendars for the last weekend in February, starting on Friday, the 24th.
The Golf Classic is held in honor of James B. Pirtle, Sr. who founded the Pirtle Construction Company. He was committed to giving back to his community and supported a variety of local charities. He and his company also built approximately 100 schools in Broward County.
The Golf Classic kicks-off the Festival on Friday, February 24, 2017. Players of all skill levels and handicaps are invited to participate to compete for prizes and trophies in a 4-player scramble format.
The Old Davie School Historical Museum on Griffin Road will host a classic rock concert starting at 6 p.m. on Friday, February 24th. Bring a chair or blanket to enjoy an evening that offers music, arts and crafts, a petting zoo and more.
The Festival will be located on Orange Drive, and the portion of the road devoted to the Festival will be closed off for the two days. There’s a long list of attractions, some of which include over 250 displays, concerts, a Native American display, “Cowboy Town,” and a place with games and activities for the kids.
The arts and crafts show and fine art show are always great places to find unique gifts for birthdays or even Christmas, if you can plan that far ahead! The Davie Pro Rodeo has won numerous awards and it’s an opportunity to see rodeo professionals at work. The rodeos are scheduled on Saturday and Sunday, and there is an entrance fee.
Local residents and groups are invited to participate in the parade in a number of categories. Awards will be presented at the end of the parade for floats, performances, marching (musical and non-musical), animal and more. If you want to do your own judging, be sure to arrive at the parade route before the 10 a.m. start time!
