About this course

The Palmer Course at St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton represents Arnold Palmer's design work in collaboration with Ted McAnlis. The course serves as one of the layouts within this South Florida club community, bearing the name of one of golf's most influential figures who transitioned from championship play to course architecture in the latter decades of his career. The routing reflects the characteristics typical of South Florida golf: relatively flat terrain shaped by water features, strategic bunkering, and the integration of native vegetation and wetlands that define the region's landscape. Palmer's design philosophy generally emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest, and courses bearing his name in Florida residential settings typically balance challenge with accessibility for member play. St. Andrews Country Club operates as a private club in Boca Raton, an area known for its concentration of golf facilities and affluent residential communities. The Palmer Course functions alongside the club's other amenities as part of the member experience. The layout incorporates the water management systems common to courses built in this low-lying coastal region, where lakes and canals serve both aesthetic and practical drainage purposes. The course reflects the era of Palmer's architectural output in Florida, where his firm produced numerous layouts that adapted traditional design principles to the state's unique environmental conditions and the expectations of country club communities in resort-oriented markets.

Getting there

The journey to St. Andrews Country Club begins at either Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) or Palm Beach International (PBI), each roughly thirty minutes from Boca Raton's manicured heart. Private arrivals favor Boca Raton Airport, a discreet executive field mere minutes from the club's gates. The drive unfolds through South Florida's signature landscape - wide boulevards lined with royal palms and bougainvillea, gradually narrowing into the hushed, gated enclave of St. Andrews, where the transition from coastal bustle to country club serenity feels both immediate and absolute.
