North Palm Beach Country Club
About
North Palm Beach Country Club is situated on the Intracoastal Waterway atop the Seminole Ridge, offering scenic views and a rolling terrain covered with natural oak hammocks. The golf course is one of only two municipal courses in the country that are Jack Nicklaus Signature courses. It has received much acclaim for being not only one of the best public golf courses in Florida, but also one of the best publics in the U.S. There are rolling fairways and undulating greens, many of which are fiercely guarded by bunkers. Although a bevy of challenges has been built into the course, flexibility was also incorporated into the design with five sets of tees. North Palm Beach Country Club offers playability to a range of skill levels but from the back tees it is a formidable challenge to even the most advanced golfers.

Enjoyed the course
This is a nice public course. Carts were VERY up to date with a great GPS system in it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Greens were fast with LOTS of undulations. For a Florida course there is a fair amount of elevation to the course. A few bare spots around the greens where there is a lot of foot traffic but not sure there is much that can be done.
Greens a Mess
This is a challenging but fun course. Greens were all sandy; I wouldn't expect this at this time of year.
You need to fix your scales above; I click on them and nothing happens so it looks like I don't select anything.
Very nice course!
Course was in really nice condition. Beautiful layout. Green were 12.5, fast and undulating, which is typical of Nickalas Courses. Even a nice 5 iron that hits 8 ft from the pin can roll back off the green. A bit unfair in my book , but that's golf. Not terribly long from the whites so you can make up shots on par fives and usually had a 8 or 7 iron into the green n the par 4's. I'd love to play it again, now that I know what to expect! definitely ranks up theer in the top 10 public courses i've played!
Worth playing.
great layout, but greens are very challenging; hard to read.
Fun course. Difficult greens. Moderate fairways. Nice staff.
This is a good course. Soft greens, but very undulating and tricky approaches. With hard greens the course would give one fits. Fringes/edges need some work, but fairways and greens in decent condition and fast. Good, friendly staff. I'd definitely play again.
Good, but expected better
A bit quirky. Several greens silly. Thus play is too slow. Nicklaus penalties where hit good shots. Condition just average. Expected more. plan on almost 5 hours.
Lots of challenging fun
Public course with helpful, happy staff. Lovely course with rolling fairways and really FAST challenging greens. Best to be less aggressive and definitely do not overshoot the hole!
Very fast greens, good layout, and friendly members.
Overall, North Palm Beach CC has a nice layout with very fast greens. It took me several holes to get the pace right. However, it was my first round of the year and I am from the midwest. The condition of the course was fair to good. I agree with other statements regarding upkeep. They manage the course with a small staff and some areas need improvement. I played early in the morning with two members who were friendly and we played the round in under 4 hours. We did wait a few times on each hole, but for only a couple of minutes. The course was packed by the time I left. It does get a lot of traffic. The rentals were Callaway Razr X and they were ok. If you can get a rate for around $75 then go for it. Also, it's an easy walk, but I chose to ride.
Fast slipery greens
Nice layout, fast ondulating greens,playable but, need course knowledge....will put youre putting to the test
Beautiful track: rediculously difficult greens!
very challeging course and extremely difficult greens; almost unfair. layout is beautiful and well kept. will definitely play there again if price is right
Best public course in south Florida
Jack designed, golfer approved! One of the greatest courses I have ever played. Tough layout but not to long.
Great course to play - good layout
Greens fees were reasonable. However, we were whacked with a $26/rider cart fee (total of $52. for two riders!), to pay for their new carts with GPS screens that were difficult to read because they were dash mounted. The sun shone on the screens more often than not and made them tough to read. However, the software was intuitive and easy to use.
Nice Course
I will definitely go back. Real hard in places, elevation changes all over and some real tough greens. I had a great time. Very scenic views on most holes, some of which are truly beautiful and make you feel lucky to be playing golf in such an environment. Mr. Nicklaus did a great job on this course.
Awesome layout, fast greens
Really cool layout and nice greens. Bunkers need some work to really make the course stand out.
Slippery Slopes
A Jack Nicklaus do-over course that has rolling fairways thats fair to play. A lot of local seniors love to play in Palm Beach Gardens. there are views of the inter coastal waterway and yachts.
Par golf starts on the undulating greens where one might 3-4 or 5 putt some greens if your land in the wrong spot. Very slippery. Land and play beneath the hole on these fast greens.
Challenging course but way overpirced for condition
This is a very challenging course. The holes are a very good design. I have read a lot of the reviews about the greens, that is a typical Nicklaus course so there is no surprise there. The issue is with the condition of the course. A GOOD course should have a very distinct difference between rough and fairway - this course does not. A lot of very tight lies and bare lies - for $109 that cannot be. If maintained, the course has the potential to be very good. But like most municipal courses, if the people play in this condition (I was told 220 rounds per day) and pay the money, what is the advantage to the course spending the money to maintain? None - so they keep it in a below average state. I was really looking forward to this course, unfortunately, would not recommend this to any for the money. Its a $60 course in the winter and $35 in the summer - then I would recommend it.
Very challenging...lots of sand...must be accurate on many shots.
Overall, a fun course. Very interesting...elevation changes, no 2 holes the same.Beware- greens are very fast and very sloped/undulated. Five sets of tees...so select the tee that matches your ability/handicap...if you don't, you'll pay a price.
Being macho will only result in a big number!
Tough course, especially if windy.
Greens very inconsistent, in both speed and condition. Great views of Intracoastal!.
very fast and true greens
I have played North Palm Beach CC a few times last year and loved the course.This year I came back to find the greens super fast and a little tricky. Probably because we followed a tournament earlier in the day. The greens hold long irons in and have a true roll. I will be back.
