Palm Beach Country Club


About this course
Palm Beach Country Club is an institution steeped in old-world glamour, a place where pedigrees and persimmon woods once held equal sway. This classic, early-20th century design meanders through the heart of Palm Beach, where the sound of the Atlantic is ever-present. The relatively flat terrain belies subtle challenges, demanding astute club selection to navigate strategically placed bunkers and small, undulating greens. The course favors a precise iron game over brute force off the tee. Originally crafted by Donald Ross, the course has seen subtle refinements over the years, retaining its Golden Age charm while adapting to modern equipment. While it may not boast the pedigree of championship venues, Palm Beach Country Club is one of the oldest clubs in Florida with a storied history that includes notable figures and a loyal membership drawn from the island's elite. The club is as known for its refined social scene as it is for its golf. A round here is as much about the camaraderie as the competition; this is where deals are brokered and generations of families have shared traditions. After a day on the links, members often gather on the terrace, a quintessential Palm Beach tableau of pastel hues and whispered conversations, further cementing the club's position as a cornerstone of the island's social fabric.
