Westchester Country Club

Westchester Country Club's Gold and Red nines form one of three eighteen-hole combinations at this Boynton Beach facility, designed by Karl Litten and opened in the mid-1980s. The club sits in southeastern Palm Beach County, part of the region's substantial inventory of residential golf communities developed during Florida's growth decades. Litten, a regional architect active across the state during this period, created layouts that work within the flat South Florida terrain, incorporating water features, mounding, and strategic bunkering to define holes and create playing interest where natural elevation changes are minimal. The Gold and Red combination reflects typical South Florida design characteristics of its era. Water hazards come into play on multiple holes, both as lateral features and fronting greens, requiring accurate approach shots and course management decisions. The routing moves through mature landscaping and residential corridors, with palm trees and tropical vegetation framing fairways. Greens are elevated and contoured to provide drainage and add complexity to short game situations. The club operates as a private community amenity, serving residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. Westchester Country Club maintains all three nines to accommodate member play throughout the year, with the Gold/Red pairing offering one of the standard championship-length configurations. The course provides straightforward resort-style golf suited to the recreational preferences of its membership base, emphasizing playability and consistent maintenance over severe design challenges.
