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.

good course, shame about the customer service...
lovely layout and no problems with the pace of play but rang ahead to check on the greens and was told all was good. unfortunately this wasn't the case and the greens had been recently plugged and were awful. these things have to be done, but i expect to be told when i ask the question (and not be charged the full rate as well for that matter !!).
if you can get on when the greens are in shape this place will be fantastic, but think you have to just take a chance and turn up as you're not going to find out by ringing the pro shop
Very nice layout ... you would expect nothing less from Nickalaus!
The greens had just been aerated so judging the putting aspect is pretty limited. The greens did not seem overly tricky but moderate slopes are found on every green.
Many raised greens guarded by traps forces accurate shots into the greens.
Fairways are generous but Jack always places bunkers in the perfect spots for you drives!! Plenty of water but not in play on most holes.
Great course - going back after the greens grow in.
Sweet Deal!
I got super saver for $29. For this course that is excellent. Normal price is $55, that is just a good price for this course. The course is well maintained and with the wind thrown in, can create a nice challange. The greens were quite slow, but that is because we have had rain virtually every day for a month. I will play again!
Best public course in South Florida.
Course was in great condition. Greens were smooth and in very good condition. Not slow but slower than they normally are. You can't go wrong playing this great course.
Fantastic course. Great fun,
Love this course. Best public course I've ever played.
excellentconditions; challengeing
course is well maintained; greens rolled good; different elevations unlike other south fl. courses; some holes are play along the inter-coastal waterway which has some nice views and sea breezes
nice layout. a little tricked up though
the course overall is in good condition turfwise. the bunkers have little or no sand in them and have turned mostly to mud.the greens are excrutiatingly slow. the fairways, however, are a joy to play from. there are no bad lies.
not a flat part to the whole course
Fairways were great. They are in the process of fixing their greens right now, so currently its like putting through a desert. However, up until recently they have had a reputation of tournament quality greens running around 12-13.
Love this course
A great course , challenging, love the hills, and creativity, only negative that I wasn't informed that the greens were just aerated. I would have waited a couple of weeks.
Multiple bunkers and elevations more tourney like than average golfers normally used to.
3 days after green aeration. Wait at least 2 weeks to play
The area around greens needs maintenance
Tee to green it was fantastic. Around the greens there was some issues with the fringes into the greens which made it hard to enjoy the game.
Great course
Had a blast best. Best public course in palm beach county
A very enjoyable round
As other reviewers have stated. The greens are the big challange. I mean that in a good way. Your score may be a few strokes higher at the end of the round but that is part of the fun of playing this course.The staff and starter were all very friendly and welcoming. This was my first time playing this course and will be back.
good value for money
the course was in good condition - good value for the money - booked over Golfnow
Wonderful staff - not a bad gold hole on the course
GREAT staff from the golf shop to the cart attendant to the starter. Must have a great manager that understands and appreciates customer service. Wonderful Nicklaus design every hole has merit. I highly recommend this golf EXPERIENCE.
Nice course needs work
The course is interesting and the staff is friendly, but the greens are a disappointment. They are inconsistent and appear to be trying to recover from some kind of serious problem.
Based on that the cost is not easily justified
Bad greens.
Greens were in the worst shape since Jack redesigned it. Glad I didn't pay the $72.00 they wanted, not worth that price. At $40.00 it still was not a great deal.
Challenging greens
Jack Nicklaus redesigned this course and it is a good test of golf skills. Sand and water on many holes and a beautiful par 3 on the Inter coastal. The undulating greens test your ability to read and execute putts with big breaks and varying speeds. It's a great layout and one of the nicer courses in Palm Beach County. Oh, and by the way on a windy day a challenging course becomes a really challenging course.
Great layout, very very bad condition including greens.
We were not satyisfy with the condition of the course for the money we paid
Good Track!
2 hour drive to play, and no regrets. Great bunkering and greens rolled very true
