North/East at Atlantis Country Club

The North/East combination at Atlantis Country Club in Atlantis, Florida, represents a routing drawn from the club's 27-hole layout designed by William F. Mitchell and John Sanford. The course sits in southeastern Florida's coastal plain, where the flat terrain typical of the region is shaped by strategic bunkering, water hazards, and the subtropical vegetation common to Palm Beach County courses. The design reflects the practical, playable style of mid-to-late 20th century Florida golf, emphasizing shot placement over dramatic elevation change.

Mitchell and Sanford's work at Atlantis creates a layout where water comes into play on multiple holes, a defining characteristic of South Florida golf architecture. The routing incorporates the natural drainage patterns and wetlands of the area, with lakes and canals serving both aesthetic and strategic purposes. Bermuda grass fairways and greens accommodate year-round play in the warm climate, while mature palms and native vegetation frame the holes.

The 27-hole configuration allows the club to rotate combinations for member play and maintenance, with the North and East nines forming one of three possible 18-hole courses. The design provides a straightforward test for members and guests, with hazards clearly visible and risk-reward opportunities built into several holes. The course serves a residential community in Atlantis, a small municipality west of West Palm Beach, and reflects the character of established Florida club golf—accessible, well-maintained, and suited to the region's landscape and climate.
