Palm Beach Par 3 Course
Palm Beach, FL, USA

Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course isn't merely a delightful oceanfront diversion; it's a testament to the enduring allure of accessible, yet challenging, golf. Originally designed in 1961, the course underwent a transformative renovation in 2017 by famed golf course architects Raymond Floyd and son Robert. The redesign embraces its unique coastal terrain, leveraging dramatic elevation changes rare to South Florida that offer breathtaking views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway from nearly every hole. This par-3 course, nestled along the iconic shores of Palm Beach, favors creativity and shot-making over brute strength. With holes ranging from 81 to 211 yards, the undulating greens and strategic bunkering demand precision and a keen understanding of the ever-present ocean breeze. While not a stage for major championships, Palm Beach Par 3 holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike as a beloved community hub. Its approachable layout and spectacular setting have fostered a vibrant social scene, attracting a diverse group of players from seasoned golfers to families enjoying a casual round. The club is known for its lively atmosphere and commitment to inclusivity, creating a welcoming environment where the spirit of the game is celebrated. Palm Beach Par 3 transcends the typical golf experience. It’s a reminder that the joy of the game can be found in its purest form: stunning scenery, engaging challenges, and the simple pleasure of connecting with others along the sun-kissed coastline of South Florida. The on-site restaurant, Al Fresco, adds to the overall appeal, serving Italian fare that enhances the relaxed, convivial atmosphere.

So much fun!
Fun 18 hole par 3 course. Front nine wraps around the West side of the island and has most of the longer holes whereas back nine then loops out and has holes along the East/Ocean side and is much more scorable. Great conditions.
Palm Beach Par 3 is an absolute must play if you’re in the area. This was such a fun walkable track for by buddies and I. The course so simple, but stunning with great views of the river and ocean. It offers a mixture of long and short par 3’s. The course conditions are exceptional considering how much use it gets and that it’s a public facility. The staff and pro shop were great and the practice facilities are excellent. Top it all off with a fantastic dinner after the round at the Italian restaurant above the clubhouse. We had a wonderful time and I highly recommend it!
Was blowing like 45 but still an awesome time. Mix of ocean and intercoastal holes, amazing views
Amazing par 3 course. Pure conditions. Oceanfront holes. Great vibes. So good. Only reason it’s not a 9.5+ is that’s it’s a par 3 course.
About as good as a par 3 course can get. Everything about the property just feels right. Must play.
In terms of a par 3 course, PB par 3 is the gold standard. Very Well manicured with a few really nice looking holes on the beach. Easy walk
