Good value

I hadn’t played this course in over 10 years. The course is in pretty good condition although there has been a lot rain in the area lately. The greens were pretty good and still healing from being aerated weeks ago. This course is surprising as it’s not a typical FL sand and water course. Although there is plenty of both available . There were several doglegs that required course management to be in strategic position. I would recommend it, even though there is a lot of construction for a new clubhouse and range that looks rough right now.

Saved my day

Started my day playing another course that was in such horrible shape that I left after 9 holes. On way home used GolfNow to find me a tee time at Palm Beach National for almost same price as horrible course. It was exactly what I hoped for. Staff were awesome. Tee boxes, fairways and greens in very good condition. Traps had plenty of sand and were strategically located. There was just enough water to keep the course even more interesting. Overall a very good time - especially compared to the other course I played which I will only identify with the letters LWCC.

LOVE THIS SPOT

Atmosphere is fire. Super welcoming for new golfers who maybe feel out of place. As soon as I walked up I felt the difference, music playing, Bluetooth speakers on the carts for you to connect your phone! Fire!

Staff is super cool, laid back and helpful. The merch they sell in the pro shop is also dope!

Course conditions are great, the greens were recently punched so can’t wait to see how they grow in! I think the might’ve done the fringe first, it’s already grown back and looks great.

Made the drive up from Broward, definitely won’t be the last time!

Fun course & atmosphere

First time playing here. Wasn't sure what to expect based on some reviews, but it's a really fun course and once everything is built out it will be fantastic. The greens had been punched recently, so not the smoothest, but overall the course was in great condition, even after a week of rain. The range is fun. What sold it for me was that every staff member was just super nice and top notch. Great attitudes and made it super enjoyable. For a Sunday morning 8a tee time the pace of play was really good. I will definitely come back and highly recommend it.

Great Course for Low Price

If you are looking for a fun atmosphere with some buddy’s this is the place to come. Although the amenities are under renovation, they offer plenty of alternatives. They have food trucks, music, on range flight scope system (tracks your shots when you hit) with obstacles on the range to aim at. The putting green is pretty pathetic but the greens on the course are in really good shape for a course that get this much play. I played before the greens were punched which by now are probably punched. Overall the layout of the course is enjoyable, everyone is friendly, and if you don’t care about playing as fast as you can nor take golf way to serious this is the spot to play.

Everything was perfect with the exception of the starter.

Fabulous facility. The course is in country club condition. Many elevation changes; fast greens; traps in great condition and consistent on each hole.

The staff was very friendly throughout the entire facility, with the exception of the starter, who was very grumpy and barked a lot. I only mention the starter, because his attitude was the same when I played NPBCC two weeks prior.

Best value around

The staff is really friendly and the course, especially the greens, are in terrific shape. Faculties are currently under renovation so it can hit a touch inconvenient, but that doesn’t take away from the play at all. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Why do I never get excited about playing this place?

I could do without the party atmosphere at this place, personally can't stand country music and to have it blaring at the range all day is annoying. As is having speakers on every cart so guests can stream music to the annoyance of those there to play golf. Let me clear my throat during someone's backswing and I get the stink eye but for some reason loud music doesn't seem to bother these same people. Either you're here to play golf or your not, which brings me to another point. Because this course expends a lot of effort promoting a party atmosphere it leaves much to be desired for those wanting to be serious about their golf game. This place is as close to my home as any other local course but if it weren't for the fact that I get a low price from time to time on GolfNow I wouldn't come here at all. Then there's the "rum shot" festivities - they drive around offering free shots of rum, great, but I don't drink so asked if I could get a bottled water or something instead and am soundly rejected. Maybe you have to be drunk to not notice everything else. Oh, and finally, the course was in good shape overall.
