Hollybrook Golf & Tennis Club

Independent Assessment

Hollybrook's core facts were independently confirmed: 1,902 condo units, a legally enforced 55+ age restriction ("Over 55 Community," with no one under 18 permitted to permanently reside), two golf courses, 14 tennis courts, and seven pools each with its own pool house. There is a minor discrepancy on the community's construction date — one independent source describes the community as 'completed in 1983,' while another description gives a longer 1973-1988 construction span; the exact range is treated as unconfirmed and should be verified, since the precise construction date range affects likely building age and SB 4-D exposure for any specific unit. The specific HOA fee figures cited by purchase-price tier ($400-$456/month scaling with price) could not be independently confirmed, so the fee is presented only as a general, unconfirmed range.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Golf-focused buyers who want course access included with residency rather than paying for a separate off-site membership, and who are comfortable with condominium ownership and its associated shared-structure maintenance obligations, are the clear fit for Hollybrook. It also suits buyers who want a mid-sized (relative to Century Village-scale) community with a strong recreational identity built specifically around golf and tennis.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Hollybrook Golf & Tennis Club comprises 1,902 condominium units in buildings reported up to six stories, arranged around two golf courses. The original developer could not be independently confirmed from a primary source. Sources vary on the exact construction date range — one independent source describes the community as completed in 1983, while other secondary research describes construction spanning roughly 1973-1988 — and the golf course itself is reported to have opened in 1968, predating some or all of the residential construction.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Reported pricing runs roughly from the $100,000s to $300,000s depending on unit size and building, positioning Hollybrook in the affordable-to-mid-range tier of Broward County's 55+ condo market, generally comparable to Century Village Pembroke Pines and above Lakes of Carriage Hills' typical pricing. Buyers should request current comparable sales from a local agent.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Hollybrook is a fully built-out, resale-only community; buyers should expect no builder warranty and should budget for aging major systems unless a specific unit has been substantially updated. A standard home inspection plus a building-specific review of the association's reserve study and any SIRS findings is recommended given the range of possible construction dates across the community.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to Broward County real estate tax; buyers should confirm the current millage rate and assessed value directly with the Broward County Property Appraiser for the specific unit. Given the community's buildings run up to six stories and its exact construction date range is not fully reconciled across sources, buyers should request the specific building's SIRS status, reserve-fund balance, and master insurance declarations before making an offer, consistent with Florida's post-Surfside structural reserve requirements for condo buildings statewide.

Golf

Hollybrook is independently confirmed to include two on-site golf courses, with course access included as part of residency rather than requiring a separate off-site membership — a genuine differentiator from many Broward 55+ communities where golf, if available at all, requires an outside club membership. Cart fees are reported as an additional per-round cost on top of the included membership. The exact course ratings, par, and recent renovation history could not be independently confirmed; golf-focused buyers should tour the courses and confirm current terms directly.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Hollybrook's social and recreational life centers on its two golf courses, an on-site restaurant, and a clubhouse offering fitness, billiards, card rooms, and a separate playhouse for performances. Seven pools with individual pool houses are distributed throughout the community, giving residents convenient access without concentrating everyone at one central location. The community's gated setting and long operating history give it an established character typical of Broward's original wave of golf-oriented retirement condominium developments.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Hollybrook Golf & Tennis Club is located at 900 S Hollybrook Dr, Pembroke Pines, FL 33025, in western Pembroke Pines. Specific drive times to area highways, hospitals, and the coast were not independently measured; buyers should confirm current travel times directly, though multiple sources note the community is not close to the beach and is oriented around its golf-and-tennis lifestyle rather than coastal access.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Hollybrook is independently confirmed as a legal "Over 55 Community": at least one resident of each unit must be 55 or older, and no one under 18 is permitted to permanently reside in the community. The recorded HOPA deed language was not independently obtained; buyers should confirm current age-verification and occupancy-compliance procedures directly with the condo association before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Hollybrook's buildings run up to six stories and the community's precise construction date range is not fully reconciled across sources, buyers should independently confirm the specific building's age and SB 4-D (structural reserve) exposure rather than relying on a single community-wide construction date. As with other Broward condo communities of this era, insurance costs and reserve-fund health can vary by building, and cart fees for golf are reported as an additional cost on top of the included course membership.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Hollybrook sits within about two miles of Century Village at Pembroke Pines and shares that community's condominium ownership model and 1970s-1980s construction era, but is meaningfully smaller in scale (1,902 units versus more than 7,000) and built specifically around two included golf courses rather than Century Village's broader, more general amenity package. Buyers weighing golf access against community scale should compare Hollybrook's included-membership model directly against Century Village Pembroke Pines' automatic golf-club membership and against Kings Point Tamarac, which does not offer an on-site golf course at all.
