The Links at Boynton Beach
About this course
The Championship Course at The Links at Boynton Beach is a municipal facility designed by the team of Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge, who collaborated on numerous Florida layouts during the 1970s and 1980s. Both architects brought playing experience to their design work—Devlin as a successful Australian professional and von Hagge as a former college player—and their Florida courses typically feature bold bunkering, water hazards, and strategic shot values suited to the state's flat terrain. The course occupies land characteristic of southeastern Florida's coastal plain, where natural elevation change is minimal. Devlin and von Hagge likely addressed this through manufactured contouring, strategic use of water features, and shaping around greens and fairways to create visual interest and playing challenge. Their design approach in this era often emphasized target golf with defined landing areas and greenside hazards that reward precision. As a municipal course in Boynton Beach, the facility serves both local residents and visitors to the Palm Beach County area. The region's year-round playing season and proximity to the Atlantic coast make it part of South Florida's extensive public golf infrastructure. The course operates within the competitive landscape of accessible daily-fee golf in a market dense with options ranging from resort courses to municipal facilities. Devlin and von Hagge's work in Florida has contributed to the state's reputation for strategic, water-influenced golf that tests course management as much as ball-striking.

Getting there
The journey to The Links at Boynton Beach begins at either Palm Beach International Airport, a swift twenty-minute drive north, or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, roughly forty minutes south along I-95. The route trades the coastal glitter of South Florida's resort corridor for the quieter residential sprawl west of the Intracoastal, where the landscape flattens into the characteristic palmetto and pine scrub of inland Palm Beach County. As you exit the interstate and wind through Boynton Beach's tree-lined streets, the transition is subtle but unmistakable - a shift from the Atlantic's tourist hum to a more secluded municipal enclave, where the course reveals itself as a surprisingly tranquil retreat tucked within the fabric of everyday Florida.
