first time and worth the trip

Found this course on golf now and it looked interesting. Had never heard of it. Very pretty course, challenging enough so that you need to make some shots to score well. If you like natural looking courses this one is certainly that. It is not a typical Florida Palm tree course, it is more everglades than resort. Will go back

My Home Course

I've played the course over 50 times this year, so I guess that tells you something about the course, the playing partners I've been paired with, and most of all the staff. It has been a year since the course was renovated and is in excellent condition. On quite a few holes, shot making plays more of a role than the length of your tee shot. Depending on pin placements, at least six holes can easily become three putt greens if your approach shot comes to rest in the wrong quadrant of the green. All in all, the course is enjoyable to play and is a fair challenge for most players.

BEST GREENS IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA

My friend and I played 18 holes today at Palm Beach GardensMunicipal Course. We were hooked up with another very pleasant twosome. This was a challenging course from the white tees. The tee boxes were level, the fairways were in excellent shape, and the greens were the best that we have seen in a long time. All the money invested in improving this course was well worth it. I was very impressed with all the changes - for the better. The weather couldn't have been more pleasant - sunny and in the upper 70s. All the staff, from the check-in personnel to the bag boys to the starter to the ranger were all accommodating and very pleasant. We finished playing the 18 holes in under four hours. Definitely try this course if you have the opportunity and good fortune to be in the area!

Good course but very slow

There definitely needs to be a ranger to speed up play. Luckily, the first foursome let us play through. My buddy and I caught up with another threesome that took another golfer on at the 16th hole. He just got off the 18th. This foursome turned out to be slow, inconsiderate, and could care less about etiquette or pace of play. That left us with a poor taste for this course. Also, the fees are quite expensive already.

Thank you for your comments. We strive to offer every golfer a wonderful experience; all input is taken seriously in order to continuously improve. The season is upon us and unfortunately, twosomes will often be slowed down by a course full of foursomes. Just as at any good course, please let staff know, either during play, or after so that we may address the situation and take action to make your golf experience better. We believe that we have one of the finest courses in the area and would like another chance to prove it. Please email me at cpresensky@pbgfl.com with your name and tee time so that we can arrange a complimentary round for the two of you. Thank you again for helping us get better! Charlotte/Director

Don't mind the fresh air

While I am eternally frustrated by my sheer amount of strokes this course removes the stress every time. The staff are always friendly and quick with a hello or conversation. The wildlife seems to not mind the endless photos and normally leave ones golf ball where it lies. The pace of play is normally on par but can run behind due to the players we all seem to play behind. I found the food tasty sometimes and overpriced the next depending on my tastes. I would recommend this course as one of my top 5 in Palm beach county. My only negative endorsement would be how easy it is to loose track of the balls landing area should you leave the fairway. Plugged ball are common on this course. Have fun playing here, I always have and know I will.

Very Interesting

Played from the Blue tees & the course was fair but had its share of difficulty.The greens were fast 7& true Playing the course for the first time I would recommend playing with someone who has played here before since a few holes require some local knowledge even though carts have GPS. Very enjoyable experience..

Newly renovated.

Watched renovation on my daily commute home and was looking forward to playing. I had my chance this past weekend to see close up the changes that were made. Having played the course many times before I was familiar with all the subtleties of the original design. The foot print of the course is basically unchanged but what they did do on many of the holes was soft the edges (removed some scrub + re contour slopes and berms) making it more playable. The new turf, Celebration and Tifeagle have grown in nicely in spite of the wet summer we experienced. I thoroughly enjoyed the round and look forward to playing in the future.

Palm Beach Gardens Golf Club

Excellent "local" course and facility with convenient parking, driving range, chipping area and putting green very close to pro-shop. Considering the amount of rain over the previous days and weeks, course was in very good condition. This day, it was cart path only, but condition of fairways were still above average. More importantly the greens were excellent. Course is challenging off the tees and most approach shots are to well guarded, elevated greens. Shot maker's golf course. If lived closer, would definitely play there more often.

Cart Path Only

My group was unable to play due to cart path only restrictions. We are older and my group could not due the long walks required for cart path only on this course.

Love PBG G.C.!

Palm Beach Gardens was recently renovatted is is a quality, quirky, and just darn fun golf course to play. Lots of value for the money. Refreshing course thats built into a nature sanctuary so you only have a few holes with houses which is outside the norm for a typical Florida course. What make the place great is the staff friendliness, they make you feel at home. The GM Tim Ford is a class act.
