North Palm Beach Country Club

About
North Palm Beach Country Club is situated on the Intracoastal Waterway atop the Seminole Ridge, offering scenic views and a rolling terrain covered with natural oak hammocks. The golf course is one of only two municipal courses in the country that are Jack Nicklaus Signature courses. It has received much acclaim for being not only one of the best public golf courses in Florida, but also one of the best publics in the U.S. There are rolling fairways and undulating greens, many of which are fiercely guarded by bunkers. Although a bevy of challenges has been built into the course, flexibility was also incorporated into the design with five sets of tees. North Palm Beach Country Club offers playability to a range of skill levels but from the back tees it is a formidable challenge to even the most advanced golfers.

What a gem!
This course is absolutely gorgeous. It's a link style course with crazy elevations, especially for Florida. Every hole is unique and pretty. The entire facility and golf course is pristine, hard to believe this is a public course for how nice it is. It is a bit pricey to play here, especially in the winter, but if you're willing to splurge, I highly highly recommend it. Wind is definitely a factor, with intra-coastal winds that will at times make club up twice. I definitely want to come back and play here now that I know the layout. 5 out of 5 starts hands down.
Walkers Paradise!
The course is compact enough between holes to facilitate walking which is a pleasant treat in these times of social distancing! With four sets of tees and multiple combinations the course can play between 5,300 - 7,100 yards, par 71. The major challenge is avoiding fairway bunkers off the tee that are strategically place in such a way that if you lay up you have a much longer shot into the greens. Most greens are very large so proximity to the hole from the fairway is important. Bring a laser if you have one to measure distance to hole as the cart mounted GPS only measures to the middle of the green which in many cases is 30 feet from hole!! As far a value, look for a discounted rate via online booking sites. Probably not worth the normal rack rate but worth a shot at 30% - 40% discount! Greens seemed unusually slow.
Really Nice Track
Played this course after reading about it in a local golf magazine. They said it was under new management and was lush and scenic. They were on point. Right on the intracoastal this is one place you should play. I rarely say that.....
Fun course with challenging greens
One of my favorite clubs in Palm Beach County. Would highly recommend. Will play again soon, hopefully on a less windy day
North Palm Beach GC
We had a great time. We played at 2pm when the price was $74. We think that price is good for the course conditions. It’s not worth paying $130 for that course. Most greens where not great. Some damaged and with sand on it. Overall good time but would not go and pay $130 even tho it’s a Jack Nicklaus design.
Very difficult, lots of bunkers n every hole feels like it is into the wind
Great course! Very difficult! GPS distance should show to pin instead of center of green.
Newly renovated
The weather was terrible but the course was great. The layout of the course was really nice with a few holes that require layup shots.
One of the best I’ve played.
6 or 7 memorable holes—frequently windy—nice greens
North Palm Beach Country Club
An enjoyable and challenging layout typical of a Nicklaus design. Conditions, however, are just average. The course would be outstanding if well manicured.
Beautiful golf. Thank you Jack!!
What a truly beautiful golf course. Each hole dramatically laid out with ample bunkers, elevations and water hazards to keep you totally focused on your game. Luckily we played with gale force winds which helped our balls find the greens (fast and consistent)
Thank you.
Greens well maintained however far too many bunkers for the average golfer
Nice lay out
Great course. A bit pricy but nice. There is a lot of nice and less expensive golf in the area. Nice bar and restaurant at this newly fully upgraded facility.
First Class
Had a chance to get in a round in while down from Chicago on business. Booked on Golf Now as a single. Paid off big, the place is 5-star but still chill. .Great Nicklaus links layout - friendly for all levels of skill. Dynamite fairways & greens. Great staff, resort-style indoor-outdoor restaurant with cool bar, nice full driving range & pitching green too. Can’t wait to go back and play again.
Beautiful Day
What a wonderful course. Very different then most of your Florida courses that are flat. Very challenging and fun.
Staff is friendly and professional. The club house is stunning-recently re opened after major renovation.
You would never think you were on a public course. Pace of play was great. 4 hour round with 4 people.
Can’t wait to play it again.
Good course, excellent staff
Layout was a softer and friendlier Nicklaus course. Conditions were good, but a bit soft. 4 hour round
Overpriced!!!!!!
Not worth $125.00 green fee. We went out as a twosome so we expect to wait, Wait we did , every hole. We had a threesome in front of us that were SLOW. Course was pretty beat up. Greens were OK. Staff were Excellent. For the price we will not return. Played PGA Estate the day before for half the price. You are a Public Course not worthily of $125.00. Fix the fairways and pricing.
