Atlantic National Golf Club

the course is in great shape and the pace of play was under 4 hours

Gorgeous course. Two days before, I played North Palm Beach, the top rated public course - Lacuna was basically comparable. Definitely look forward to playing there again.

We had the unfortunate opportunity to play Atlantic National on Saturday March 8th, 2025. I say unfortunate because the price of the course does not match the conditions of the course. The fairways were, the greens patchy and full of fungus, tee boxes filled with divots. Not what you would expect from a course that expensive.
On top of those issues, on the 9th hole we were approached by the range who told us to pick up the pace. We were 5 - 10 minutes behind pace the entire round due to the group in front of us. When the ranger told us to pick up the pace, I had just hit my approach shot to the green. I had to wait at least 10 minutes in the fairway after hitting my drive before we could hit our approach shots - the group ahead was still on the green. I told the ranger that and he said they were already on the 10th fairway - the group was just pulling away from the green complex when he said that. We finished out the hole and went to the 10th tee. The group ahead were still standing on the tee box (they stopped at the clubhouse for food). We waited another 10 - 15 minutes for them to finish the hole.
Not a good showing by Atlantic National. It's too bad because I really like the layout of the course. It was probably in the worst shape I've ever seen it.

Atlantic National played 6307 yards (par 71) from the back tees but requires accurate tee shots to avoid the many water hazards and fairway bunkers. The greens are designed to offer a variety of pin placements that will challenge even the best players. Bottom line, accuracy is more important than length. Good shots get rewarded and poor shots are penalized. A great layout which is very fair but very challenging. The staff is courteous and made us feel welcomed. The restaurant shuts down by 4 or 5 so make sure you get a cold beverage from the cart girl if your tee time is after noon. Repeat customer.

The conditions are getting better every time we return, The conditions are great already.

Fantastic course, great shape and amazing conditions

It's ok but overpriced in my opinion. People dont rake their bunkers so you really feel like you are at a public course when you land in the sane.

Great lay out, has some Serious potential if greens didnt have some dead spots, but understandable with lack of rain lately. Overall a really nice course, had no issues with pace of play. Course was overall in good condition, has that “full course” feel
