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.

Great afternoon in pristine but challenging beauty

We were anxious to play this course since the many changes that were done in the past couple of years. Its gorgeous and the greens are phenomenal and challenging. For the course size...you have an enjoyable experience and certainly tests your short game skills. Just a pleasant afternoon

Beautiful well maintained course

I am a retired gentleman and I play most days at my private club. However, my wife who is new to the game prefers a shorter course. We love this even though it is a short course it is a challenging one and the back nine runs along the ocean , making it so scenic.

Extremely Enjoyable on a Very Windy Day

My wife and I played at 12:50 on a very windy Friday. Course was very quiet and we teed off early as a twosome using a new gas cart.

Booked on GolfNow and only paid $15 each which was amazing. No one on the course and we easily played in under 2 hours as I was a little busy fishing out 54 golf balls.

I played the black back tees and my wife played the front whites. #1 hole is very short and don't let that influence your impression of the course. Everything gets better after that. Greens are very large with lots of tiers and undulations. Greens are very firm and hard to fix ball marks.

You cross A1A after 3rd hole and there are 6 holes between A1A and the intercoastal, including 3 long, narrow holes which are tough in the wind.

Back across the road for #10 which is another short one. There are another 3 or 4 tough holes on the back, especially #18 which is along the sand dune with the beach and ocean right there. Another real tough shot in the wind.

My wife who is a 30 handicap played terrific with 7 straight pars on the back for a total of 11 pars and a 63 total beating my 64.

The ocean views are amazing with the emerald green water crashing onto the beach only a 100' away.

Raymond Floyd did a terrific job redesigning this course. Everything is first class and everyone should play this course.

If it is windy like we experienced, you are much better off playing punch shots low, rather than trying your regular higher shot.

Enjoy, we did and played it several times.

Excellent test of shot-shaping

This is a jewel of a par-3 course. With winds out of the east, the course was easily played from the back tees with a 5I thru LW. Recently, I played it with a 15 MPH wind from the north and needed a 3W to reach one green. So, being by the sea, this course is a mini-links experience. It's great. And, both times I played it, the staff was terrific. It's a great way to isolate and focus on short game shots - particularly under 160 yards. The value is good. More sand for divot repair would benefit the course. I say this because the carts don't have sand containers and the containers at the t-box are often at another teeing spot 15 yds in front or behind the one being used. Just a suggestion to help keep things beautiful. Players can also expect to help out with ball mark repair on greens because there are sometimes inexperienced golfers playing this course who don't seem to attend to their own marks. I usually fix mine and two others. Have fun. It's a very nice experience.

Great place to play.

It is the best to tune the short game. A good challenge with the ocean right there to keep a breeze blowing in your face, I enjoy playing there.
