Type Public/Municipal
Par 54
Length 2572 yards
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.

winds on the ocean

Great course near the water... This is as close as playing "teeth of the dog" as you can get. Teeth of the dog has been rated one of the best golf courses in the world located in La Romana, Dominican Republic. The course is pretty much straight up, with plenty of wind on almost every hole. The greens are in good condition as is the course. The back nine are very impressive and provide for great pictures. For those of you who like the selfies, the back nine will be the place to take your shots......

Worth the trip

I had a flight from PBI and wanted to get one more round in before flying back to the wintry weather in Michigan. I was paired with a twosome but got to the course early and was sent out alone to walk the back by the starter. Greens were slower than the PGA village I had been playing and the grain had more of an impact. I hit SW to 5 iron off the black (longest) tees. It was a nice finish after 72 holes in the 4 previous days.

Great Par 3

Nice par 3 course between the ocean and inlet waters. From the black tees, you'll have some testy 170 to 200 yard par 3's and plenty of short ones with challenging, quick greens. Little pricey at regular price but nicely priced on last minute golfer. Had 10:20 tee time but it was jammed after 1pm. Earlier the better to get out

Parcours intéressant!

Beau terrain, près de la mer et de l'autre côté du canal, par contre venteux donc un beau défi malgré le fait que ce soit un par 3, si vous avez peu de temps je vous le conseille!

Perfect course to practice your short game!

A par 3 with a challenge; you need some precision here! The greens are not fast so you have to read them well. It's quite a narrow course with the Intracoastal on one side, the ocean on the other side and the A1A in between! The restaurant Al Fresco is quite pleasant and has a beautiful balcony overlooking the ocean and the course. The food is not cheap, but good! The reception at the pro shop can be on the cold side depending on who's welcoming you! The starter is no mister personnality and makes you feel like he's doing you a favour letting you play on HIS course. After all, it's A municipal course and quite an expansive one if you don't go with Golfnow.

Go! Best Par 3 I've seen

Beautiful to the eye and a wonderful little course to play. It can be challenging for your irons and your putter. A nice practice facility before you tee off a beautiful clubhouse and friendly staff.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars for the condition of the course is I thought that the greens were a little slow. However, that is more an opinion.

Raymond Floyd what more could you expect

Very hot humid day to walk any course. This is a very plush course where everything appears perfect. The greens are a little on the slow side but the beauty over-rides this. I am very glad and happy that I took the time to play it and I want to play it again in the future.

My Wife Loves It!

Took my wife to this course for the beauty of the lay-out and the ease of the course. She loved it, and it was a nice way for the two of us, me a moderate golfer and her a beginner, to enjoy an afternoon on the links together. Great time!

18 hole pitch and putt.

There is an element of the "Kings suit of clothes" (Grimm) about this course. It is what it says it is - 18 holes 3 par. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are all in very good condition - but a golf course it is not, it's a good pitch and putt. It's a good course to practice mid and short game skills but after a few holes, we were left wanting to use more than just 3 clubs including a putter - that's all you need - a 9 or 7 iron to drive off (according to ability), a pitch or sand wedged and a putter.

Clearly Sunday's are busy and players are of all abilities but we were amazed to see foursomes using drivers on tee boxes and marking balls on greens as though they were playing for real. Admittedly some of the holes can be a bit testing with narrow fairways and water but it's not a great golfing experience st any level and it's expensive for what it is.

On the plus side the course is environmentally very nice, the pro shop staff are good and the Al Fresco restaurant is good for lunch.

High wind play

The winds where at about 45 mph. Not many golfers on the course. We played as twosome and we had a blast. 18 th hole we hit over beach to get it on green. Beautiful course played in 2 hours and headed to clubhouse and had an iced tea at the bar.

A Gem

I generally don't like par 3 courses but this course is a gem. Nice little layout, nicely maintained (greens are awesome) and terrific water views on several holes. Perfect for the husband and wife or the family who needs to play golf but doesn't want to spend 4 1/2 hours on the course. Can be very challenging on a windy day but just a lot of fun to play!

Super fun Par 3 course, friendly staff.

From beginning to end everything was first class, the course is scenic and challenging. The staff goes out of their way to make your time special, can't wait to go back. The restaurant is also superlative with great views. Incredible value.
