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.

A must play

This is by far the best value for money of any course I have played. While it may just be a par 3 course the views are second to none and you get to hit every iron in your bad and play real par 3's next to the ocean

Par 3

The course for a public course was in excellent condition.
The greens were a little slow about 8 but smooth.
The pace of play was fine with no real delays.
I would recommend the course to my friends that play par 3s.

Great Par 3 Course

Have played this course on our visits to Plam Beacg the past two years. Course condition is immaculate. The Paspalum greens are like carpet , but putt slower than Bermuda ones. Fairways/approaches are as good as we've ever played, and rough is lush. Fun also watching the iguanas run around the course.

Beautiful course, fast round.

course was pristine. Went right out at 8:30 am on a Sunday and was off course by 11:00!
Would have preferred some longer holes. Very small par 3. Even from the Black.
Staff is friendly. Great for a quick round on a pretty course.

Miss this course!

I tried several times while I was staying in Delray to get a tee time without any luck! I have played there the last few years. Then the course closed because of the Corona virus pandemic, sadly. I will definitely be back next season!

Best Par 3 Course I have played in my 50 years on the links!

Based on word of mouth reviews from friends who have lived in or visited South Florida, my two sons and I visited this course on the last day of our vacation in the Juno Beach area. We were originally scheduled to play 3/28, but driving winds made that impossible, and we rescheduled for the next day. While the strong winds were still a challenge, we thoroughly enjoyed the excellent conditions and spectacular views offered on this course. we arrived at 8:20 a.m. and there were only five cars in the parking lot. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. By the time we finished our round, the parking lot was filled to capacity. We learned that the restaurant upstairs from the golf shop was also a huge draw, and the food and views were just marvelous. The drive to and from the club were also most enjoyable, past the pristine estates on Palm Beach Island. The only difficulty was getting off the island due to President Trump's visit to the area that day! We can's wait to go back...I hope to be taking many friends and family there in the future!

Awesome Par 3 Course for Ocean Lovers!

I loved this course. We arrived at 8:15 am on a Friday and there were only five cars in the parking lot. We made an 8:40 time for our threesome with Golf Now. We played a thoroughly enjoyable round in just over two hours. The wind was blowing fairly stiffly throughout, which added to the challenge. Course was in terrific shape - tees, greens, bunkers, waste areas...the whole place!
