The Park - West Palm Beach, FL

Architect: Gil Hanse (2023)

A modern public masterpiece that feels like a private club from the moment you step onto the first tee. Hanse’s routing emphasizes width, clever angles, and expressive green complexes that reward strategic play without overwhelming the everyday golfer. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, reflecting the course’s community-driven mission.

The par-3 7th, framed by water and native brush, has already become its signature moment: beautiful, exacting, and classic Hanse in how it blends strategy with simplicity.

North Palm Beach Country Club - North Palm Beach, FL

Architect: Jack Nicklaus (Redesign, 2006)

A rare Nicklaus-designed municipal course, and one of the most distinctive public venues in South Florida. The Golden Bear’s minimalist redesign restored coastal contours, firm playing surfaces, and clear views of the Intracoastal, giving the course a polished but unpretentious vibe.

The par-3 17th provides the postcard moment as it plays directly toward the waterway and varies dramatically with the wind.

Plan Your Next Trip the Right Way

Insider Notes:

Local Tee Time Dynamics: The Park releases new tee sheets daily in the afternoon, locals grab slots quickly. North Palm Beach CC moves fastest early, morning tee times generally avoid the stronger winds.

Practice Like a Local: The Park’s practice park (range + short game) is one of the best public facilities in South Florida, worth arriving 30–45 minutes early. Abacoa’s range is reliable before an afternoon round and stays in good condition year-round.

Pace of Play Reality: Winter play slows due to seasonal visitors; mornings typically move best. Late spring and early fall offer the strongest combination of pace, conditions, and value.

Course Conditions & Weather: NPBCC and Abacoa often run firmer and faster in late spring before the rainy season. Coastal breezes at NPBCC pick up in the afternoons, expect club-up situations.

Local Golf Culture Notes: Abacoa’s mornings often fill with member groups and leagues; afternoons offer more open pacing. Twilight tee times are popular at all three courses and often the best value.

Bonus Golf Opportunities: The Park’s 9-hole short course is lighted and perfect for an extra hour of golf, a local favorite.
