About

Holes 18
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.

Helps your short game

Great course on the ocean and Intracostal. Nice breeze and great views. Course was in great condition and offers some interesting challenges on the back 9 with elevation changes.
Makes for a great golf outing.

The course has a great location; ocean on one side and intercoastal waterway on the other side.

Have played the course about four times and have really enjoyed the course each time.
Will play the course again.

Short Practice Course

18 Par 3s is not a particularly challenging course but it does give you a chance to practice your short game. 2-3 holes needed a longer club but generally nothing more than a 7 iron. There are many less expensive options in the area but if you're pressed for time this may be a good option. The pace of play is a little slow but you're dealing with a little older crowd than a typical 18 hole course. However, there are few courses anywhere that offer the same spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intercoastal. The last few holes that follow the water are great.

Beautiful course

Beautiful course right along the ocean. Amazing view and hearing the sounds of the waves while you play is so relaxing. Greens are incredibly slow and when you think it will break, it just wont. But overall beautiful and love coming here.

Nice views of The Atlantic Ocean and The Intracoastal Waterway

I am not a fan of Executive Golf Courses but this one is a beauty. I played it with my 86 year old Father Outlaw [I am divorced from his daughter]. It was perfect for him and it gave me a chance to work on my abysmal short game. As the old TV commercial used to say " Try it - You'll like it."

Great par 3 course

This course has great views and a chalenging layout with wind gusts acationaly. This is a great course to get in some iron practice before going out to play agains your friends. Greens rolled smooth and you have to put some thought into what club to hit with wind and elevation changes. This is a must play in the area.

Scenic challenge

Windy seaside links with lots of water. Greens not the fastest but overall course in nice shape. Sometimes slower high handicap players due to par 3 playability.

Beautiful and challenging

Hadn't played here in 15 years. It had been updated and I really liked the layout for a small par-3. Folks were very friendly and the grounds were impeccable. Course was in great shape and greens were firm and challenging for me. I really enjoyed my play there. It wasn't busy when I was there, so it was very relaxing too. Will definately be back soon.

Bad experience

We booked a tee time for what we thought was 18 holes & cart for $12 a person. Got there and were charged $69 for 18 holes with cart. We were encouraged not to book through Golf Now but charged a lot more by doing it with pro shop. Not a good experience - will probably not go back.
