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.

Well maintained

Very enjoyable course. Good place to practice your short game. No drivers needed but not a lot of room for error.
The course was in great condition and being on the ocean there is usually a great breeze.

Palm Beach par 3

The newly designed clubhouse is very fine, and the somewhat redesigned course was also in great shape. well cared for. Attendants were polite and helpful. The course is a par 3 , but not one that requires you to use a putter at the tee. The distances are reasonable and fun.

Wow,

One of my favorite courses! The view is breathtaking and the course is in wonderful condition. It may be a par 3 but it is fun and challenging. I make certain I play this course several times when I'm in the area.

Just plain fun to play

I have played here tons of times over the years. I think it is one of the most fun golf experiences out there. Ray Floyd's renovation a few years back made a good thing great. Has a great variety of Par 3 holes that play by the ocean and by the intracoastal. I wish there were more courses like this out there.

I love this place ...

This has always been one of my favorite places to play ... even before the spectacular Raymond Floyd redesign.

Three holes run along the golf course and two have greens on the ocean. There are only two other courses in south Florida with holes on the ocean and the average golfer will never get a chance to play on either.

This is a course where you really can work on your short game but this is no pitch-n-putt. Yes, there are many holes at or around 100 yards. You want more? #1 is 167 #3 is 196 and #4 is 211 #5 is 176 #13 is 171 #18 is 179 and these holes can play longer depending on wind direction.

The course is is great shape and the summer rate make it even more attractive. The new clubhouse is amazing and the restaurant is very good but a bit pricey.

Perfect day perfect place

Very special course in the most beautiful setting. Staff friendly, reasonable, great food and beautiful new clubhouse- feels like a fine private club! The tips are challenging enough for a 3.5 player. Loved everything about it.

Ocean view

I love this course for its quickness and ease of play. Pack a Sunday bag as drivers and fairway woods are unneeded. The greens vary in distance just enough to challenge your wedge skills. A new restaurant has opened and the food looks ver tasty and reasonably priced as well. A drink cart passes several times during the course of play. I even managed to chip in twice which capped a great day.

This course has good & bad features

The course (greens) unfortunately was being spiked on the front nine. Only could play back nine twice. The only bad thing about the course was the holes were about the same distance (between 105 to 112 yds) They need to change the distance of the tee box

This course is good for beginners

I think novice golfers can get more confidence playing this course and can better prepare for the standard courses. Suggest novice golfer to bring a couple of more balls as Hole 2 to 4 is big chance of losing your ball:)
The golf cart is really old and noisy but OK to serve the purpose of not carrying the bag around.
The restaurant is great, service is great, food is also great! Must try!!!

Well maintained course, very nice layout when played from the back tees.

Everything was great except for the couple in front of us who were lousy golfers. Please do everyone a favor if you are not a decent golfer and get some lessons or have the common courtesy to allow better and faster groups to play through.

I realize the game can be challenging at times, but know proper golf etiquette.
