Must play but early in the day

Unfortunately we booked at 2:22 pm and finished our round in the dark at 6:50 pm due to slow pace. Too bad because it’s a must play course even if there are few temporary tee boxes waiting for the renewals to be ready. We’ll be back for sure but earlier in the day !

Nice layout.

Green, fairways and layout were great. Couple of tee boxes out of play and using mats. Bit pricy for course under repair.

Great! Must play!

Must play here in Florida. From the friendly staff to ordering food on the carts, it was a great day! The greens are very nice for the amount of play the course receives. New clubhouse is amazing and excited to come back.

Disappointed - Especially for the cost

My experience at Palm Beach County Golf Club was disappointing. There was no notification provided about temporary tees, which significantly affected the overall playing experience. The course itself appeared to be in su-par condition and generally not well maintained, with several areas showing clear signs that routine upkeep was lacking.

Additionally, it was concerning to see staff repeatedly crossing fairways, tee boxes, etc while players where actively teeing off and making approach shots. This gave the impression that courtesy was not part of the culture.

Overall, between the lack of communication, the subpar course conditions, and the unprofessional staff behavior, the experience fell well below expectations. I would hope to see better course maintenance, improved communication with players, and more attentive staff management in the future.

Amazing day

Our group had an amazing day. The new clubhouse bar in grill is so cool and the driving range is the best I’ve ever seen. The greens are beautiful, best we played in Florida.

The price is an overreach for the course conditions. With 4 or 5 tee boxes torn up and hitting from a random spot in the fairway should have a deep discount on the price of the round. Fortunately the young man at the counter did issue us rainchecks for 9 holes.

Tee boxes were torn up and it was ridiculous for them to charging full price

There were at least 4 tee boxes torn up and they didn’t tell us before we started.

Disappointing

Pulling in to the parking lot, I had high hopes. Nice clubhouse, cool driving range, vibes were high. That's about where the highlights ended. I left very disappointed with my experience here. First off, there didn't seem to be a whole lot of organization when it came to sending groups off. We had the 11:50am tee time. Ended up teeing off around 12:15pm. There were multiple tee boxes that were absolutely burnt out and left you hitting off of dirt. Fairways and greens were fine, but nothing to write home about. There was one beverage cart out on the course and in our 5 hour round, we only saw it 2 times. After our round, we took our clubs off the cart and had them stood up. I heard a crash of clubs hitting the ground. I look over and my buddies bag was laying on the ground with no attention being paid to it by the cart attendants (who had just finished wiping off our clubs). For a course that seems to be hanging its hat on being an upbeat and energetic vibe, I found it to be a pretty big drag. I wish I would have spent the extra money to golf somewhere else.

Play was too slow.

We haven't played here since May and the clubhouse wasn't done. We were excited to play and grab a bite to eat at the clubhouse. The pace of play was way too slow. We probably won't return because of that and we are players with a discount card.
