OOrangebrook Golf and Country Club East Course is a historic public golf facility located in the heart of Hollywood, Florida. Opened in 1933, Orangebrook boasts two 18-hole championship layouts designed by golf course architect A. J. Ewing, the original East Course, and the newer West Course which was added in 1959.

The two layouts are about equal in difficulty, but each offers a different set of challenges, and while its design may be more traditional, the par 72 East Course is just as much of a challenge as the newer West Course. The East has fewer water hazards but there are large bunkers strategically placed throughout. There are some tricky holes included in the 6,574-yard design but there are also many player-friendly features as well, including wide-open fairways and generous landing areas.

Orangebrook Golf and Country Club, East Course plays host to the Women's International 4-Ball golf tournament, which is the longest-running women's amateur event held at one location in the United States. Past champions include Babe Zaharias, Peggy Kirk Bell, and Louise Suggs. Orangebrook has also played host to the Men's Amateur 4-Ball golf tournament, which in 1960 was won by Jack Nicklaus and Deane Beman.

Orangebrook Golf and Country Club, East Course offers not one but two player-friendly but challenging rounds, making it popular amongst locals for being one of the area's best values. As well as having 36-holes of championship golf, the facility has a fully stocked Pro shop, a restaurant with full bar service, and a banquet room with seating for up to 250 guests. Players can get their practice in on the large, lighted driving range that has both distance markers and a practice bunker.
