Wynmoor Golf Club features an 18-hole executive golf course — shorter than a regulation championship course but longer and more varied than a par-3. Executive courses typically range from 4,000 to 5,500 yards (vs 6,500-7,200 for championship courses), making them ideal for players who want a full 18-hole experience in 3-3.5 hours rather than 4.5-5 hours.
The course is wholly owned by Wynmoor's 5,260 unit owners through the Community Council. This matters because it means course maintenance costs are spread across all owners — golfers and non-golfers alike — through the master HOA fee. The trade-off: non-golfers subsidize course maintenance, but the subsidy is modest because it is spread across 5,260 units.
How the Fee Structure Works
This is a fundamentally different model than communities where golf is either fully bundled into HOA (Hollybrook) or requires a separate equity membership (typical of luxury golf communities). Wynmoor's approach means you only pay for golf when you play, at rates significantly below what public courses in Broward County charge.

The Golf Value Equation
If you play 2+ times per week: Hollybrook is the better value. Golf is included in the $350-$456/month HOA, and you get two courses. At Wynmoor, even with discounted resident rates, playing 100+ rounds per year adds up. Full membership may close the gap, but you need to compare the annual membership cost against Hollybrook's all-inclusive model.
If you play 2-4 times per month: Wynmoor's pay-per-play model is likely cheaper. You get the convenience of an on-site course without subsidizing daily golfers through your HOA. Your total annual golf spend at discounted resident rates will be less than the premium Hollybrook owners pay through their all-inclusive HOA.
If you rarely or never play: Wynmoor is clearly better. You are not paying for golf you do not use. At Hollybrook, golf course maintenance is baked into every owner's HOA whether they touch a club or not.
Café on the Green
The on-site restaurant at the Wynmoor Golf Club serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is not a snack bar — it is a sit-down restaurant that functions as a social hub for golfers and non-golfers alike. Having a real dining option within the community eliminates a common complaint in 55+ communities: "There is nothing to do in the evening without driving somewhere."
Course Condition and Maintenance
Because the course is community-owned and maintained by the Community Council's professional staff, course condition is directly tied to HOA funding. Wynmoor's passed 40-year structural inspection and its reputation for well-maintained grounds suggest the Community Council takes maintenance seriously — a factor that extends to the golf course.
The executive format means shorter holes and less total acreage to maintain, which keeps per-unit maintenance costs lower than a championship course would. This is the practical reason Wynmoor can offer golf without the $600-$800/month HOA fees that equity golf communities typically require.
