About this course
Banyan Golf Club, nestled in the heart of West Palm Beach, is a sanctuary cultivated for the pure enjoyment of the game. Designed in the early 2000s, the course meanders through a landscape sculpted to challenge and inspire. While not steeped in championship lore, the club has quietly fostered a dedicated membership that values camaraderie above all else. The course unfolds as a strategic test, rewarding thoughtful approaches rather than brute force. Its relatively open fairways and gentle undulations evoke a classic parkland feel, yet cleverly placed bunkers and subtle green contours introduce a layer of complexity that keeps players engaged. While not long and favoring neither fade or draw, it has a variety of subtle challenges that are discovered throughout a round. Banyan distinguishes itself with an atmosphere of relaxed exclusivity. The club has cultivated a community that cherishes the traditions of the game, complete with a well-appointed clubhouse that is as comfortable as it is refined. Banyan's culinary program is often lauded, and has become noted for it's fresh seafood. It is this blend of course, and community, that establishes Banyan as a distinctive golfing experience in South Florida.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Banyan Golf Club touch down at Palm Beach International Airport, a swift fifteen-minute drive east through the manicured grid of West Palm Beach's residential enclaves. Private aviation finds its natural home at nearby Signature Flight Support or Atlantic Aviation, both on-field and discreetly positioned for the club's discerning membership. The final approach trades the Intracoastal's glitter for the quieter, tree-canopied streets of Old Palm Beach County, where Banyan's guarded entrance appears almost by design to reward only those who know precisely where they're going.
