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.

A great course to work on approach and chip shots, while enjoying the breezes of the Ocean.

The earlier you play, the longer you can enjoy the solitude and peacefulness of the course.

Great little course of A1A

I booked 18 through the golfnow app for $19 and it was worth every penny. The staff was wonderful at the desk and Dave the starter lead me in the right direction as it was my first time playing there. Course was in great condition and offered gorgeous views.

A mini diamond

What a great way to get in some short game practice. This little gem is immaculately maintained and is first class in every respect. With a "Hot Deal" Price from Golf Now it simply doesn't get any better.

A fun, yet challenging par 3 course

Unlike other par 3 courses, Palm Beach is in great shape -both the fairways as well as greens. The layout is interesting and challenging. Errant shots are penalized and the many bodies of water on the course will grab their fair share of wayward balls. Pace of play was outstanding - we finished in well under 3 hours. I highly recommend this course!

Golf vs View

A great short, short Par 3. Views are great. Feel like you are at fancy resort overlooking the ocean. Very windy day. Which made you focus on club selection, which way wind was blowing and ability to keep ball low. Greens were very fast. Not knowing what was on back or side of greens, ball could either roll into water or sand trap. Sand in sand traps...very different. Felt like beach sand. A fun course! Easy to walk or carts are available. Hoping to play again when in area next year.

Ate a restaurant, here, last week. Restaurant on 2nd floor of Clubhouse. View overlooking ocean when seated on porch. Food was mediocre and service poor. Would come back for cocktails to enjoy overlooking the ocean

The wind was howling!

The wind made our round even more challenging but overall a one-time fun experience. The course is well laid out in very limited space. There are beautiful ocean views on a couple of holes and Intracoastal on another few. Found it expensive for a par 3...$136 for two with cart after noon. Plenty of championship courses around for that price...and with similar course conditions. Not sorry we went but I wouldn't do it again.
