The on-course golf scenes were filmed at the Rolling Hills Golf Club, now known as Grande Oaks Golf Club in Davie, Florida. It was built in 1959 and chosen for the movie because there are no palm trees, which Ramis wanted so it would look like a course in the midwest. The movie was shot in 1979.
In 1999, Wayne Huizenga, who owned the Miami Dolphins and founded AutoNation and Waste Management and co-owned the now-defunct Blockbuster movie rental chain, purchased the property. The course was redesigned by Raymond Floyd and is now a private club.
Soon after the movie’s release, the club became known as “The Home of Caddyshack.” The Caddyshack and Gopher Invitationals were staged there.
Grande Oaks today is owned by Nova Southeastern University and is home to the Div. II NSU Sharks Men’s and Women’s Golf teams.
