Country Club of Florida

Country Club of Florida is an Arthur Hills design located in the Village of Golf, a small community in Palm Beach County. Hills, known for his work throughout Florida and the broader southeastern United States, routed this course through the region's characteristic flat terrain, working with native vegetation and water features that define South Florida golf. The layout reflects Hills's approach to Florida course design, which typically emphasizes strategic bunkering, generous landing areas, and water hazards that come into play on approach shots rather than from the tee. The course incorporates the natural landscape elements common to this part of the state—palms, tropical vegetation, and lakes—while providing a variety of hole lengths and angles that reward course management over pure distance. Country Club of Florida serves as a private club for its membership, offering the amenities typical of established Florida country clubs. The facility includes practice areas and dining options that support the social and recreational aspects of membership. The course operates year-round, with seasonal play patterns reflecting the migration of residents and members between winter and summer months. The Village of Golf itself is a small, golf-centered community, and the club functions as a central gathering point for residents and members. Hills's design here represents his broader body of work in Florida during the latter decades of the twentieth century, when he contributed numerous courses to the state's golf landscape.
