Cooper Colony Golf and Country Club

Cooper Colony Golf and Country Club sits on SW 90th Avenue in central Cooper City, and Yellow Pages records an unusually long history for the business, listing roughly 68 years in operation, which would place its founding around 1958, a year that actually predates Cooper City’s own incorporation as a municipality in 1959. If accurate, that timeline would make the golf course older than the city that eventually grew up around it, a plausible history for this part of Broward County, since the land that became Cooper City was originally developed from ranch land beginning in the 1950s under the Cooper family, whose name the city and, apparently, this club both carry.

Directory listings categorize the business as a golf course and private golf course, alongside a general “clubs” designation, indicating a facility that combines a golf course with clubhouse and membership club functions rather than operating purely as a public pay-to-play course. Golf and country clubs organized this way typically offer membership tiers alongside some level of public or guest play, a clubhouse for dining and events, and course maintenance and operations run as a distinct business from the surrounding residential development, even when, as is common in South Florida, the course itself is bordered by homes built around its fairways.

Cooper City’s broader identity carries a strong equestrian and ranch-land heritage from its mid-20th-century origins, and a golf and country club with roots reaching back to the years just before the city’s founding fits naturally into that history as one of the area’s original recreational anchors, predating most of the residential subdivisions and commercial corridors that now define the city. Both Yellow Pages and Superpages consistently list the same SW 90th Avenue address and phone number for the club, along with an associated individual listing under a golf professional’s name at the same address and phone number, consistent with a club that employs or is closely associated with a dedicated golf professional on staff.

No independently maintained club website could be located during this research to confirm current membership structure, green fees, or clubhouse amenities in more detail, which is a notable gap for a business of this apparent scale and history, and it means specifics beyond the golf course and country club category and the approximate founding era are not independently verifiable. Prospective golfers or those interested in membership should call the club directly to confirm current rates, tee time availability and membership terms.

For Cooper City residents and area golfers, Cooper Colony Golf and Country Club represents one of the city’s oldest continuously operating recreation businesses, a locally rooted golf course whose history stretches back to the years the surrounding land first transitioned from ranch country into the suburban community Cooper City is known as today.
