OLD PALM GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Palm Beach Gardens, FL, USA
Designed by Raymond Floyd


Old Palm Golf Club, in Palm Beach Gardens, is defined by its unwavering commitment to the traditions and exclusivity that define the game at its highest levels. Designed by Raymond Floyd during the modern era of course architecture, Old Palm presents a lush, Florida parkland layout, characterized by meticulously manicured Bermuda grass fairways and greens, and strategically placed water hazards that demand thoughtful approaches. While not overly long, the course features subtle elevation changes uncommon in South Florida, favoring players who can shape shots and navigate the gentle doglegs that characterize several holes.
Floyd's design emphasizes a classic risk-reward philosophy. Bunkers are strategically positioned to penalize errant drives and approaches, encouraging players to carefully consider their club selection and shot placement. The greens, known for their undulation and speed, require a deft touch with the putter.
Old Palm fosters a vibrant community of serious golfers. While the course hasn't hosted major professional championships, its members are highly competitive, and the club is recognized throughout the region for its dedication to the game's time-honored traditions, including a respect for course etiquette and pace of play. The clubhouse, known for its understated elegance, offers a curated dining experience including the club's famous Palm Burger, a culinary staple enjoyed after a challenging round.
Reviews
Quintessential West Palm/Jupiter golf: exclusive, expensive, immaculate, enjoyable, but not quite memorable (excepting my company). Would play it a few more times without hesitation but not one to build a trip around. Used to be some pros out there (Westwood and the Shark and a few more I forget) but seems like they’ve moved away to other tracks. Interesting model where you have to own a house there to be a member so the club is very quiet.
