Conditions were beyond excellent, one of the better manicured courses I’ve come across. Don’t let the front fool you, confidence around the turn was quickly dampened as I headed deeper into the marsh. Back 9 ruined the scorecard for me and even still had a great time.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of West Palm Beach, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
