Why Play Southwinds Golf Course

Set amid Boca Raton’s wetlands and palms, Southwinds blends scenic corridors with playability for every handicap. Generous fairways, receptive greens, and smart bunkering make it a satisfying walk—or a relaxed ride in modern, comfortable tara golf carts. If you’re arranging outings or need a rental upgrade, nearby golf cart dealers can match seating, range, and accessories to your group.

Quick Facts

Course Feel & Strategy

Southwinds rewards smart targets and tempo over brute force. Favor the fat side of fairways to open approach angles, and keep approaches below the hole on brisk afternoons. Par 5s tempt longer hitters but still favor disciplined three-shot strategies—lay up to your best wedge yardage (100–120 yds) to attack tucked pins with spin.

• Tee shots: Three-wood or hybrid is often the higher-percentage play on tighter corridors with crosswinds.
• Approaches: Florida humidity adds a touch of “heft” to the air—add a half club on longer irons.
• Short game: Use bump-and-run when landing areas are firm; choose loft only when you can control spin.

Practice Like a Pro

Warm up on the driving range, then sharpen touch on the putting and chipping greens. A quick ladder drill (3, 6, 9 feet) raises make-rate, while bunker reps prepare you for Southwinds’ protective greenside sand.
