About this course
Delaire Country Club's Hills Course is a Joe Lee design located in Delray Beach, Florida. Lee, a prolific Florida architect who worked extensively throughout the state from the 1950s through the 1980s, created numerous courses that adapted to the region's flat terrain by incorporating artificial mounding, strategic bunkering, and water features. The Hills Course reflects this approach, using elevation changes uncommon in South Florida to add dimension to the layout. The course is part of a private country club community in Delray Beach, situated in Palm Beach County along Florida's southeastern coast. Like many Lee designs, the routing likely emphasizes shot values around water hazards and shaped green complexes rather than relying on natural topography. The "Hills" designation suggests more pronounced contouring than typical for the area, with mounding used to frame holes and create visual interest across the property. Delaire operates as a member-owned club serving its residential community. The course provides year-round golf in South Florida's subtropical climate, with Bermuda grass common to the region. Lee's work in this area typically balanced playability for a range of skill levels with enough strategic variety to maintain interest for regular play, a practical consideration for clubs where members play the same course frequently throughout the season.
