The Club at Ibis

The Heritage Course at The Club at Ibis is one of three championship layouts at this West Palm Beach private club, designed by Jack Nicklaus II and opened in the mid-1990s as part of the club's original development. The course reflects the younger Nicklaus's approach to Florida golf design, working within the region's flat terrain to create strategic interest through water features, bunkering, and green complexes rather than dramatic elevation change. The routing incorporates the wetlands and natural water systems common to South Florida's interior landscape, with several holes playing along or across lakes and marshes that serve both aesthetic and strategic purposes. The design emphasizes accuracy and course management, requiring players to navigate water hazards and think carefully about angles of approach into well-defended greens. Bermudagrass fairways and greens are maintained to high standards consistent with the club's private membership. The Club at Ibis serves a residential community and offers three distinct courses, with the Heritage providing one of the club's primary championship tests. The facility includes comprehensive practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of upscale South Florida private clubs. The course operates year-round, taking advantage of the region's subtropical climate, and serves members who range from seasonal residents to year-round players seeking a well-conditioned private club experience in the Palm Beach area.
