North Palm Beach Country Club is situated on the Intracoastal Waterway atop the Seminole Ridge, offering scenic views and a rolling terrain covered with natural oak hammocks. The golf course is one of only two municipal courses in the country that are Jack Nicklaus Signature courses. It has received much acclaim for being not only one of the best public golf courses in Florida, but also one of the best publics in the U.S. There are rolling fairways and undulating greens, many of which are fiercely guarded by bunkers. Although a bevy of challenges has been built into the course, flexibility was also incorporated into the design with five sets of tees. North Palm Beach Country Club offers playability to a range of skill levels but from the back tees it is a formidable challenge to even the most advanced golfers.

Beautiful Well Maintained Course with Wicked Greens!

This course is a real find. The value is exceptional and the layout is great. The only demerit I gave them was for the traps which were a little hard (needed sand). But the fairways are welcoming and very fair and generally have one side or the other to bail out on if you panic.

But the greens! Oh my. Big, undulating and very fast. Most challenging I've played in a long time.

Green speed

We loved the fast greens with great undulations.
Also it is a walkable course if you are in shape for that.

Interesting Redesign

I felt the fairways showed lots of play & therefore rather beat in many places. Course redesign interesting; heavily traped & traps, although I realize it was the type of trap, were not well groomed. Some of the lg waste bunkers in the fairways had only 1 or 2 rakes, slowing play to go get one. I booked thru Golf Now so i felt the value was good, but my playing partners paid a lot more, which I would not have done. GPS systems were exvellent & helpful. I would play again with a guest, but only if booked through Golf Now.

Just for fun

This was the first time I played this course it is not as close as other courses and more expensive. It proved to be worth the drive and the additional cost. The course is different than other Florida courses with rolling fairways. This course reminded me of courses I played in Texas. The greens more elevated and are more challenging than other courses. Nice facility to hang out after playing. It may now be my favorite course in Florida.. It have already recommended it to other golfers.

Extremely interesting course

Played at North Palm Beach CC for the first time since the Jack Nicholas redesign a few years back. Was very impressed! This course has immensely improved. Every hole was interesting and challenging. The greens were very undulating.
The staff did a good job of monitering the pace of play, from afar. Round was very pleasant.
Nice quiet carts with GPS. Very busy course - be sure to book a tee time. Adequate practivce facility.

Course by the intercoastal

Very open, not recommended on a windy day. Greens are elevated, many sand traps. Water on many holes.
Not an easy course plays longer because of elevated greens. Undulated greens.

Golfnow rate was worth it. Regular fee is on the high side at $99.

Course can be walked,.

November in N Palm Beach

The day was bright sun, relatively cool, and quite windy. The biggest challenge at times was whether to up or down 1 or 2 clubs because of the wind. The staff treated us like members and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. Pin placements were difficult, tucked in corners or near a bunker so we had to play smart to score well. I would recommend to anyone living or visiting the N Palm Beach area to give the course a try and I'm sure you will be as pleased as I was.

The employees are a disgrace

I would never go to this place again. First of all, the price is ridiculous for this course. I have played nicer palm beach county course for half the price. Second, the staff are a bunch of unprofessional children. They were rude and made us feel like we were outsiders that didn't belong at their establishment. To top it off, one of their "members" physically assaulted my 80 year old father in front of staff members. When questioned by the police, they informed the officer that they didn't see anything at all (which was a bold faced lie to protect one of their "regulars". DO NOT GO TO THIS COURSE!!! Unless you want to get ripped off and assaulted by this bunch of hooligans

Sunday Fun Day

This was a hard but fun course to play on a Sunday. And the rain almost held off for all 18 holes, but this time of year in Florida you can't ask for a better time playing golf.

Made It Right

Had a good lesson with Danny.
Only got a half of a small bucket of balls at the driving range. I didn't get the young mans name who was tending the driving range, but he opened the range ball machine and filled my bucket. He made it right!! Which made my round of golf afterwards enjoyable.
