Casino Beach Golf Academy

Editor's Note: Course closed for business.

Located on Lake Worth, Casino Beach opened in 1986 and was renovated in the late 1990s. The course is known for its outstanding condition, which is always a nice feature when you pull into a par 3 course for a quick practice round. The key to scoring if your irons aren’t on is to focus on accurate lag putts to avoid the dreaded three-jack. The greens are undulating and tricky if you’ve left the approach a ways away.

On this one you can pay once and play all day.

Getting there : Take I-35 north, then take Loop 820 west and turn onto Hwy. 199. Drive over the Lake Worth Bridge and take the first exit after crossing the bridge, which will lead you directly to the course.
