Par 54

Slope N/A
Rating N/A

Palm Beach Golf Course is an enjoyable par-3 course that offers a round that is as good as a championship course. It is one of the top-rated par-3 courses in the country. The innovative Paspalum turf that is used throughout the course is both drought and saltwater-tolerant, guaranteeing lush green conditions no matter what. The course has a rolling terrain, offering curves and elevations that provide scenic views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. Almost every hole on the golf course enjoys beautiful scenery but being sandwiched between the ocean and the Intracoastal, there are treacherous breezes that can affect your game. The layout starts on the beach and then moves along the Intracoastal. The sandy dunes on the beach provide the course with some interesting challenges. It is an excellent place to hone your short game skills.

With the exception of

Absolutely no ranger on the course, I walked in after five holes to tell them. It was 1 hour ten minutes to play five holes and only three people on the course, me and them, and they didn't have a care in the world. I walked the back nine in forty minutes, a much better pace, The course from the black tees, can be brutally tough in the wind, An exceptional golf course

Par 3 ocean course

We love this little course. Sadly we had issues with pace of play. We started out well and then got behind folks who had loads of difficulty. Hitting from black tees when they really should have been hitting way out in front. Very very slow. We decided to jump a couple of holes and ran into a lesson. Lesson was of course slow.

We jumped 2 more holes and

Completed the course but we did miss 4 holes in total.

So disappointing but still love the course and setting.

Nice to practice short game, but staff not friendly

Nice design, good for short game. A little bit pricy.

Staff was not very friendly and not there to help. We did not feel welcome. Had to load and unload myself bags on the cart.

Thanks the course was nice and well maintained nesting between the canal and the ocean, but do not expect much from the staff.

What a gem by the sea!

First time we played this little gem. Conditions were fabulous. Staff was friendly and pace of play was perfect. Four of us walked the course with push carts in 2 1/2 hours. If you are looking for a fun day on a course with great conditions then please play this one. Remember though it’s all par 3’s and carts are extra.

Unique course

Unique experience, beautiful course, changes that they've made in recent years are a definite plus (re-routing, took out vegetation). Fabulous views of the inter-coastal and the ocean, mix of longish and short holes, greens in very good shape. A place to come back to again and again.

Course was in very good condition.

Large greens can make for very long putts! Don’t go long.

Can’t beat the clubhouse, great views while enjoying lunch.

great way to work on your short game

I always make one visit to PB Par 3 when I come down to visit. The holes are challenging from the back tees, yet my wife can play the front tees comfortably. The views are fantastic and the staff is wonderful.

Good iron course

Great course for 17 bucks a guy! Back nine is definitely better than the front, but overall a great course. I do wish there were one or two longer holes, but the course made good use of the limited space available. Will return for sure.

Great course, ocean breeze provides a little extra challenge.

I have played this course a few times now and love it each time I go. The last time we played there was a storm off shore so we had roughly 20mph winds which made even 100 yard holes very difficult.

My only complaint is the starter/bag employee seemed to care less about taking care of bags after the round. It’s nice to have the clubs cleaned off after a round and it just didn’t happen this time. But other than that amazing course in perfect condition. Plus you can get it done in about 1:45 minutes if it’s jot too busy
