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.

Great Layout, Greens are a mess

This is one of my favorite courses in South Florida, but the last two times I have played it the greens have been in horrendous condition. This course used to be known for its fast greens. Given the condition of the greens, this course is definitely overpriced.

Looking Forward to Another Play

The course was in good shape except the greens were recently punched so not to many smooth putts. The course presented a good challenge and I really liked the elevation changes and bunkers. I was disappointed with the food and beverage service as prices were high compared to the quality.

Aeratied

This course should not be booked for a couple of weeks since they just aerated and if you call they do not tell you that. Extremely disappointed in their attitude. Normally a fun course because of the greens.

This course is a challenge

Course in terrific shape but the Greens are currently under maintenance. reduced price because of this. Another single and I were paired up with a twosome but the twosome preferred to play alone. surprised that the starter allowed it since the course was busy.

Solid Course

NPB CC is a good course with some challenging holes, especially when the wind is gusting.. Since I played during off-peak season, the pace of play was fine and the course was in decent condition. The greens were very slow but we were alerted of that by the starter. Overall, at $56, it's good value for your money but isn't a life changing golf experience.

Great course

Great course that was challenging...I only got thru 9 holes before the rain and lightning hit, but was loving the course experience during my round...nice fairways, large hills, HUGE bunkers, and clear lakes...very pricy to hit balls at driving range. 5, 10, or 15 dollars for buckets of balls depending on size you purchase...I hope they consider lowering the prices in that regard, otherwise a very nice course and experience

Very playable but our bad luck was as there just punched holes and sanded all the greens. We'll be pack though in a couple weeks.

Very good layout

Course is very challenging and on the somewhat difficult side because of all the bunkers and sand traps. Greens are very fast but in good condition. It's a fun course to play as long as you're on your game. Can't wait to play it again.
