Pompano Beach Municipal Golf Club

The Palms course at Pompano Beach Municipal Golf Club is a public facility designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge, an architectural partnership known for their work across Florida during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The course operates as part of the municipal golf offerings in Pompano Beach, a coastal city in Broward County situated between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton along Florida's southeastern Atlantic corridor. Devlin and von Hagge typically incorporated bold bunkering, water hazards, and strategic design elements suited to Florida's flat terrain and subtropical climate. The Palms likely reflects these characteristics, with routing that navigates the region's natural water features and vegetation. South Florida municipal courses of this era often balance playability for a wide range of golfers with enough challenge to maintain interest for regular players, and the design here serves a diverse local population as well as visitors seeking accessible golf in the Pompano Beach area. The course exists within a region dense with golf options, from resort layouts to private clubs, and provides a straightforward public alternative. As a municipal facility, it emphasizes accessibility and steady play rather than tournament prestige or exclusive membership traditions. The setting is typical of coastal South Florida golf: palm trees, water management systems integrated into play, and a relatively open landscape shaped by design rather than dramatic natural topography.
