About this course

Panther National, conceived as the centerpiece of an exclusive enclave in Palm Beach Gardens, channels the bold spirit of contemporary golf design. Here, amid the natural beauty of South Florida, sits a course conceived and designed by Jack Nicklaus. This is more than a golf experience; it's a lifestyle destination in the heart of one of golf’s most desirable locales. The modern layout embraces the Florida landscape, a departure from traditional parkland courses. Expansive fairways encourage aggressive play, while strategically placed bunkers and water hazards demand careful consideration. The course is a balanced test that, while not overly penal, requires thoughtful shot-making. Panther National favors the bold player with the ability to shape the ball; those who can manage the ever-present breezes will find themselves rewarded. While not steeped in championship lore, the course's innovative design and upscale environment are quickly establishing it as a desirable location for high-level amateur play. Panther National distinguishes itself as the only club in the United States to feature a stunning array of custom-designed estates built around the golf course, offering an unprecedented level of exclusivity and convenience for its members, seamlessly blending luxury living with a world-class golfing experience.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Panther National begin at Palm Beach International Airport, a swift twenty-minute drive north through the manicured sprawl of Palm Beach Gardens. Private aviation guests often favor Atlantic Aviation's FBO at PBI for its discretion and proximity, though some opt for the smaller Lantana Airport to the south. The final miles trace Northlake Boulevard westward, where the suburban grid gives way to preserved wetlands and gated enclaves, before turning onto a private drive that reveals little of the exclusivity waiting beyond its gates - a fitting threshold for one of South Florida's most guarded golfing sanctuaries.
