Type Public/Municipal
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.

Beautiful views, fun easy course

Beautiful views of the intra coastal waterway and the ocean on several holes. There is a nice variety of tee boxes so you can add more challenge to mostly short holes. Very nice greens, friendly staff, and the starter was very helpful with fitting our 18 holes in with a tournament starting that same afternoon.

Slight disappointment

The course, especially the back nine, had nice views. Other than that, there's nothing really special about this course. A few nice holes with excellent undulated greens, but too many holes that were nothing special. It's borderline laughable that people ride and not walk this short course - a course that you should easily walk in less than two hours.

Must See & Do

When I saw this facility on Google Maps, I could not believe that such prime real estate had been permitted to be turned into a golf course, let alone an executive/par 3-style facility. The routing is certainly unique going across A1A, and features enough tee boxes to serve as a challenging, yet fair and fun test for all skill levels. Even on a crowded day, as on the one I played, you should be able to walk 18 holes in no more than 2 1/2 hours making it a great option when you don't have time to devote to a full day of golf. Needless to say the views along the back 9 that run along the ocean are the reason for the high rates in relation to comparable courses, but it's definitely an experience you should take in at least once. Also a very posh restaurant upstairs in the clubhouse. The facility is really catered towards the heavy retiree and vacation/snowbird populous of the area, and they do a fine job on all fronts. More golf clubs should model themselves after this outfit.

Great par 3

Well maintained, great views, great way to get some quick golf in and work on short game, etc. Little pricey for a par 3 but worth it if you're playing it once on vacation like I did. Full driving range so you can still swing the driver and woods if you want to practice those. Hole lengths will take you anywhere from a sand wedge to a long iron or hybrid, so there is a lot of variety, too. Would definitely play again.

Golf beside the ocean

This is probably the nicest par 3 course in Palm Beach County. Wind plays a big factor as the course is beside the ocean. Greens were nice, tee boxes need some attention. If there was a negative at all about this course, it would be that there was no sand at any of the tees. Lunch after the round was nothing short of spectacular. The best chicken parm sandwich I have ever eaten. I will be back with family to enjoy this wonderful restaurant. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Nice and fun short course

Very nice course with several tees for many variations.
Fantastic sorroundings right next to The beach.
Downside: a lot of beginners without handicap makes roundtimes very long and a bit boring.
Not the friendliest starter In he world.

Great Golf with beautiful ocean views

Raymond Floyd did a fabulous job redoing this course. The course is in great condition and you get to play along the ocean and Lake Worth, It doesn't get any better.

Only had two hours so i shot over here for a quick round - nice layout for a par 3, staff very friendly. Greens are slow and wind make the course tough. Good short game test
