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.

Too rich for my blood

Played nine holes with partner in one hour ten minutes. With $28 greens fees and two seats on a golf cart for $20 plus $5.75 on line reservation fee simply not worth the money, especially to play the very uninteresting front nine.

Sporty Course

Fun to play, greens in great shape, but a little slow.
I was a single, the starter went to great lengths to make sure I had someone to play with.

slow play but enjoyable

Played 9 holes with my wife and daughter . Course was perfect for them being very short from the whites. The average golfer and up must play from the black tees otherwise there is no challenge at all . Course condition was surprisingly good considering the amount of play it gets

It may be a par 3 course, but it's still a challenge

This course is a joy to play. Lots of water views and water hazards. It's well maintained. The greens are in great shape. The fairways are narrow so it's not as easy as it looks. I lost several balls in the water. Played before 9:00 and didn't have to wait at any hole.

The views are wonderful

Nice course to practice your short game. The course is unforgiving since the fairways are very narrow with either water and/or high grass on either side.

We love this course and the staff. The new golfhouse is very nice - but of course you have to pay a little more to play after this investment!

It's highly recomanded and one of the best par-3-courses I've seen! The clubhouse is brand new, a little "overstafft", but with excellent food! I'll be back, next year!

palm beach par 3

All was great at this gem of a golf course. Their practice chipping and putting green is just perfect. I have taken two lessons from two different instructors there and both were extremely informative and professional. Now wait the starters there are top notch and really helpful. I highly recommend this course to anyone.

Palm Beach Par 3 -- play the back side!

The main reason my buddy and I played this course was to scout the area as a potential spot for engagement photos. To that end, a few holes on the back nine were stunning, though the front nine was largely forgettable. The rate was also steep, especially for never hitting more than an 8-iron all day.

This course is in excellent shape and great value for the money

This course is rightfully one of the highest rated par 3 courses in the country. The front nine mainly borders the inter-coastal waterway, while the back nine is set against the Atlantic Ocean. There are countless awesome picturesque views which add so much to your round. The course is in great shape! Given the undulating greens and often stiff ocean breeze, the course will present a challenge for golfers of all levels.

I will be back to play this course many times!

Great Experience!

I was down on vacation with my brother-in-law, and we booked a tee time here not knowing what to expect, but we were blown away! Nearly every hole on the back 9 is on the ocean, and with the wind blowing like crazy the course played very tough. Florida does not have very many courses with holes on the ocean, so it makes the par three course very unique. If it was not for GolfNow we would have never found the course, but we will certainly return every time we come back to The area. plus, we were able to play all 18 holes in just over two hours. I highly recommend this course!!!
