Palm Beach Golf Course is an enjoyable par-3 course that offers a round that is as good as a championship course. It is one of the top-rated par-3 courses in the country. The innovative Paspalum turf that is used throughout the course is both drought and saltwater-tolerant, guaranteeing lush green conditions no matter what. The course has a rolling terrain, offering curves and elevations that provide scenic views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. Almost every hole on the golf course enjoys beautiful scenery but being sandwiched between the ocean and the Intracoastal, there are treacherous breezes that can affect your game. The layout starts on the beach and then moves along the Intracoastal. The sandy dunes on the beach provide the course with some interesting challenges. It is an excellent place to hone your short game skills.

Play on the ocean

This par 3 is located between the ocean and intercoastal. Beautiful views. Challenging holes. Great please to work on your irom game and have a great lunch. Depending on your tee selection you can hit a fairwood to wedge. The greens are quit slow, not a place to work on your putting. That is the only drawback when playing the beautifully located Par 3.

Like finding a diamond in the sand!

Fun time playing this Raymond Floyd designed par 3 course beautifully situated right on the Atlantic Ocean. Got a “hot deal” $18 for 18 holes including cart!.. WOW!

A beautiful little par 3 course along the coast in Palm Beach

What a fun, quick round of golf! 18 beautiful, fun par 3 holes running beside the Atlantic Ocean beach and the Intracoastal. I played the longest tees. Holes ranged from 65 yards to 190 yards, most in the 120 to 140 range. Conditions were very good. But the type of grass on the greens is unfamiliar to me and I struggled to get the speed right.. Very grainy and on the slow side. I am a 13 handicap and shot 7 over, so I guess it is pretty easy (or I had a good day.). My wife is a beginner and she loved it. No hole was too long or too hard for her. Played in under 2.5 hours, even after letting a couple of faster groups play through. Afterwards, we had a very nice lunch at the restaurant upstairs from the pro shop. Al Fresco I think the name was. It is a pretty fancy place, actually, with excellent service. I think most of the folks having lunch came just for the restaurant. It was a little expensive for a relatively simple lunch ($58) but we sat outside looking over the course and the ocean, with a nice breeze, so it was very enjoyable.

Wonderful Quick Walk

I squeezed a quick 18 holes in on a early November morning...I think I teed off at 7:40 and was done around 9:30 (probably taking my time too). Its a great place to play and not take anything too serious. I played the middle tees and never hit anything more than a 9 iron. Great views, especially when you get to 13 tee box. Okay conditions, but you're there mostly for the views. Would recommend!

Nice course and restaurant

Very well maintained par 3 course. This course is usually windy as it’s situated between the ocean and IC waterway. Can be challenging with narrow fairways but very pretty.
Good food at Al Fresco restaurant as well!

Small but Mighty

This Par 3 is worth the cost! Ocean and intercoastal view spectacular , .
Though it is a par 3 front back or front tees a challenging course . Greens were excellent!
Play off season. Less expensive and no waiting!
It’s a gem

If you haven't, you MUST!

First time we ever played a true 18 hole Par 3 course!
Wonderful layout and variety, with the wind off the ocean beside you, and 4 tees I think?. Super fun for match play!The pro Tony Chateauvert and his whole staff are top notch.and the restaurant above the pro shop has great views and delicious food!! If you end up going because of this, you're welcome. I only hope I'm playing behind you that day.

Cool layout but terrible greens

The course is a cool layout with many holes on the ocean and intracoastal. However, the greens were in terrible condition, they had more sand than grass.

Very friendly!

I chose this course because of it the positive reviews. When I arrived the woman in the club house was very friendly and encouraged me to take my time browsing the merchandise. I was informed the greens had just been aerated before I set out and was given a verbal on the layout of the course. I was even encouraged to take pictures! Course was easy to play and in great shape. It’s July so the course wasn’t crowded but I’m sure I’d get the same service peak season!
