Banyan Cay Resort & Golf
Rating Snapshot
About
Originally opened as the Eagle Course at President Country Club, Banyan Cay Resort & Golf was renovated by Nicklaus design in 2017. The fairways are lined with coquina and pampas grass and there are also water hazards and sand bunkers coming into play throughout. The layout offers interesting par 3s that offer particularly nice scenery and a mix of par 4s that range from having ample room to being very tight and requiring more careful course management. The golf course opens with a risk-reward opportunity, a dogleg-right par 5 with a strategically placed lake.

Fantastic, fair layout!
The course was in fantastic shape. The layout is fair and has tees for every level. Lots of water, but generous fairways.
Par 3's are long. Green fast and true. Played at 1 pm in under 4 hours.
Les conditions du terrain
Le 4 janvier, le gazon des verts était beaucoup trop long. J'ai rejoué le lendemain, et ils avaient été entretenus. Le design du terrain est intéressant, les allées sont assez larges, mais la présence de plusieurs lacs en bordure ajoute un niveau de difficulté.
Le personnel est accueillant et courtois.
great track that need investment
renovated layout is great, expansive fairways with nice angles and interesting green complexes. Greens were in horrible shape and need a lot of attention. Pace of play was horrible as well and no rangers in sight.
Bogey52637
The course was in great shape, greens were soft. They were running consecutive tee times off #1 and #10 so if you have an issue with that you may want to ask. Didn't see a beverage cart until 17th hole and the water stations on the course had no ice so make sure you have beverages before teeing off. I thought this was a great value when compared to the prices that other local courses are charging ($49 + tax using e-coupon through their website).
Lots of wind day I played
Great layout with lots of water and challenging holes. Lots of risk reward shots morally enjoyed it!
Nice course
The course is very nice with a lot of water. Not for the slicer. We got a hot deal and that what decide us to go . Will not go at regular price.
Surprising nice course right down town
Was nicely surprised by this course. Played from the masters tees (blue) and it made for a nice challenge on most holes. Most of the water is lateral but many of the holes have some bend to them bringing it into play. Lots of bunkers and mature trees add to the challenge. Greens were relatively fast and in good condition. GPS system is outstanding. Staff was nice. Ordered food from the cart and almost lost our place on the course looking for where to pick it up. Overall a great course at a good price.
A challenging course at unbeatable value
Water water everywhere and challenging greens,
the President turned out to be one of the best courses
in the Golf Now Directory.
On a very pleasant Florida afternoon, my paired partner & I breezed around this difficult course in 3hours 15 minutes. It helped that he was a scratch golfer familiar with the layout.
Very nice course and very challenging
Enjoyed it very much an I do recomend it to everyone.
Good challenge.
good playing condition
Excellent course to play on . the only little complaint I have to say is that the greens are on the slow side.
For the rest , excellent bang for the buck.

Good value and a challenging course..........needs to have the greens speed increased. Greens very on the slow side.
awesome shape.
Great staff, nice carts,greens are awesome. We will be back for sure
Nice, challenging course in good condition
Highly recommended for all. East of 95 makes it a convenient location.
Nice challenging course in the middle of West Palm Beach
Undulating fairways. Long par 4's. Gem in the middle of West Palm Beach.
Pleasant surprise
First trip back in a while. Very pleased with the condition of the course. All in our foresome agreed we should return soon.
Nice GPS
Nice pay out, lot of water,Green well protecteur.
GPS verry good.
Playing Public aka Non-Members beware
......I am sure the members are treated better, but as a GolfNow client I saw the name Robert Trent Jones and had to play....however the retail shop clerks believed they were managing at Augusta during Masters week......very poor customer service including being rude, augmentative and insulting......along with overcharging me for my GolfNow purchase.....
Would I play again.......?
First time, definitely not the last
This was the first time my son and I played this course, but we will definitely going back soon. The course was in good shape and the greens were great. A very enjoyable course.
Course drains well , after rain
Its handling this wet summer well
I like that they have water with ice stations out on the course
Tricky greens , lots of slopes
