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.

Only at this price

Paid less than $20 which is a good deal considering they charge $44 in season for a par 3. Course is always in good shape and challenging when the wind is up, but those prices are stupid expensive.

A gem on the beach

Played the course early April and took my son. We are both single digit golfers and loved the variety of holes. When the wind starts to blow, club selection becomes an issue and placement on the green is essential in order to avoid a 3 putt.
The greens were in spectacular condition with few blemishes and ran smooth and true with moderate speed. This course is a must play when visiting.

Love this course!

I gave up playing 18 holes of regular golf about 7 years ago. It just took too long and I was tired and frustrated at the end. When my husband and I bought a vacation condo in West Palm Beach we brought our clubs just in case we wanted to play. We knew about the par 3 in South Palm beach and decided to try it. Nestled between the Atlantic and intercostal waterway, it is a truly beautiful course. The topography is varied - hilly in a natural way not artificially like many Florida courses. It definitely challenges your short game and in a big wind, even your driver won't get it on the green. it takes about 2 - 21/2 hours to play. There should be more courses like theses for the weekend golfer. So much more fun than the longer courses that beat it out of me for 4 - 5 hours. Yesterday, I had my best score ever. - 7 pars!

Fun Par 3. Wind adds to the challenge.

A Par 3 that lets you use most of your Irons.
The winds add some challenge to the course.
Life is good in the Palm Beaches.

Beautiful par 3 course.

Only a par 3 course, but has holes up to 200 yards. With the wind blowing, can play longer, so it isn't a pushover. It's much more than the typical pitch n putt. It's absolutely beautiful, has gorgeous ocean views and is in great shape. My wife hit a hole in one and the staff could not have been nicer. I've played a few, and this is the best par 3 course I've ever played.

Picturesque, but challenging par 3 course

Water, wind, length of some holes, and changes in elevation makes this a very challenging course. Love the Intercoastal and ocean views! Holes are close together...keep your head on a swivel!

Great warm up up course

Nice course to warm up on before playing your first regulation course. This Par 3 is kept in very good shape. The greens were as good or better then most Florida courses I played on this stay.
The holes range from 80 yds. To 200 yds. So you can work on most aspects of your game. Used golf now to get best pricing since their rack rate is $45.00.
You can walk this course very easily. Nice views on front and back nine. Will play agin next year when we return to south Florida .

Great exercise for short iron work

18 holes in under two hours if it weren't for all the walkers that roam in fours. So, in the middle of the winter season, one can expect to stand around like many of the south Florida courses this time of year. Value good thru Golfnow.

Scenery fairway and greens remind me of a miniature Hawaiian course; very picturesque.

Spectacular course on the water...

Palm Beach par 3 is a beautiful lush green course, tucked perfectly between the ocean and the intercoastal waterway. It offers some of the most breathtaking waterfront views! Although much shorter than many courses nearby, you may find it to be a challenge to your iron play as there are some longer par 3's distancing over 200 yards coupled with elevation changes, tough pin placements set behind a possible greenside bunker, and a pleasant to strong ocean breeze. I definitely recommend this course to golfers of all ages and skill levels, where you'll find it as a test to your game and a wonderful day spent at a paradise by the beach.

Located on one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the US

Great design. the most challenging 18 hole par 3 i have ever played. The only par 3 in this league. the par 3 at Augusta National. The greens were a little slower than I have seen there. but with the wind blowing 30+ mph it was tough enough.
