About this course
The Legend Course at The Club at Ibis is one of three Jack Nicklaus-designed layouts at this West Palm Beach facility, which opened in the mid-1990s as part of a comprehensive residential golf community. Nicklaus, who maintains a home and design office in South Florida, created the Legend as the signature course among the trio, incorporating his characteristic strategic bunkering and emphasis on risk-reward shot values. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural wetlands and mature vegetation, with water features coming into play on multiple holes. The course reflects the design principles Nicklaus favored during this period of his architectural career: generous landing areas for members playing appropriate tees, but demanding approach shots that require precision to elevated or well-guarded greens. The Legend typically plays as the longest and most challenging of the Ibis courses, with several strong par fours and a varied set of par threes. The layout moves through corridors of native Florida landscaping, with palms and tropical plantings framing many holes. The Club at Ibis operates as a private equity club, drawing membership primarily from the surrounding residential community and seasonal residents in the Palm Beach County area. The facility includes extensive practice areas and clubhouse amenities that serve members across all three courses, with the Legend generally regarded as the centerpiece layout for competitive play and member tournaments.
