Course Highlights
The course layout earns high praise for its right-turning doglegs, water carries, and especially the demanding par 5s on the back nine. Well-maintained greens and friendly staff consistently deliver strong value for the money.

Rating 70.6

Formerly known as Grand Lacuna Golf Club, this par-71 championship course now goes by the name Atlantic National Golf Club. Designed in the late 1980s by Joe Lee, the course was designated one of the 50 best public courses in Florida. The challenging layout has plenty of variety that will require all different types of shots. Golfers will find that they need to use every club in their bag. Water hazards come into play on several holes but the strategically placed bunkers that lurk along the greensides and fairways are particularly tricky. There are some tough holes but it is an accommodating layout for all skill levels, especially since it has four diverse sets of tees. In addition to the golf course, Atlantic National offers a grass driving range, two putting greens, and a chipping area with a practice bunker.

First time here!

Conditions were much better than some reviews in previous days suggested. Green’s role very smooth, fairways, rough and tee boxes all had good surfaces and plenty of fluff in the grass. Never saw an alligator or T-Rex, but looked on every hole! So, you’re safe! Would definitely play here again. Has a great range and two areas for putting. Staff was pretty busy and did not treat anyone rude. I doubt anyone would be disappointed here. Its overall condition is definitely worth the fee. Much better than expected from some reviews.

Atlantic National Golf Club – A Golfer's Gem Worth Every Stroke

Atlantic National Golf Club delivered a truly enjoyable round from start to finish. The course layout keeps you on your toes, with well-placed bunkers throughout that reward smart course management and punish wayward shots. It's the kind of challenge that makes the round memorable.

The fairways are in excellent condition — lush, consistent, and clearly well-maintained. The greens had just been aerated before my visit, which I knew going in, but I was genuinely impressed by how well they held up. For freshly aerated surfaces, they played surprisingly true and remained very much in good shape. A minor note — a few of the tee boxes could use some attention, as they showed a bit of wear. That's the only thing keeping this course from a perfect score.

What really stood out beyond the course itself was the experience around it. The Starter is fantastic — personable, organized, and clearly takes pride in keeping things moving. Tee times are well-spaced, so you're never stuck waiting between holes. That kind of pace-of-play management makes a huge difference. The clubhouse is beautiful, and the service throughout was warm and attentive.

Overall Grade: A-

Atlantic National is a course I'd recommend without hesitation. Come ready to play, and you'll leave wanting to come back.

Could have been better

Not a bad track. Unfortunately the greens were punched a few weeks ago and were slow and bumpy . Some tee boxes in rough shape. Don’t think I should have been charged fulll price due to the subpar conditions. Will I go back maybe.

Punched Greens, fairways and teeboxes

This course is really bad shape after recent aeration. Staff was rude at check in. I’d give this one at least a month to recover

Atlantic National never disappoints

This is first class golf course. From staff to course conditions they always knock it out of the park. It is one of the higher priced courses to play but it's worth it. In my opinion it's the nicest public course in Palm Beach County. I highly recommend this course.
