Cypress at Palm Beach Polo and Country Club

The Cypress Course at Palm Beach Polo and Country Club in Wellington, Florida, is a Pete Dye design completed with his son P.B. Dye. The course reflects the Dye family's characteristic approach to Florida golf, working with the region's flat terrain to create strategic interest through water hazards, waste areas, and bold bunkering. Wellington's location in western Palm Beach County places the course in an area known more for equestrian facilities than traditional golf terrain, and the design makes deliberate use of these constraints.

The routing incorporates water on numerous holes, a necessity given the site's low elevation and drainage requirements. Pete Dye's influence appears in the course's emphasis on angles and options rather than pure length, with fairway contours and hazard placement that reward thoughtful positioning over the ball. The bunkering features the irregular shapes and railroad-tie treatments associated with Dye's work, though the overall character remains more resort-accessible than his most severe designs.

Palm Beach Polo and Country Club operates as a private residential community with multiple courses serving its membership. The Cypress Course functions as one component of the club's golf offerings, designed to provide variety alongside the property's other layouts. The Wellington area has grown significantly as a winter destination for both golf and polo, and the club's facilities reflect this dual sporting focus. The course sees regular member play throughout Florida's peak season from late fall through spring.
