Taking an impromptu trip to West Palm Beach next week. I have been trying to find some nice public courses to play but am having trouble finding any current reviews of area courses. Planning on playing North Palm Beach and one course from PGA village other than that I have no idea where to play. If anyone could recommend some nice, reasonably priced, well maintained courses it would be much appreciated. I am willing to pay premium prices for a premium courses... However it seems like all of the top courses are private, resort, or near Miami or Orlando (a little further than I am willing to drive). Thanks for the recommendations!

Atlantis is a nice course. Check out Palm Beach Gardens Municipal. It's on Northlake Blvd. out west of the Beeline (Hwy 710). Definitely a unique track. Down to road is Boca Raton Muni, which is a well-kept course. Also check out Park Ridge in Lantana - it's a fairly new course built on an old landfill, which provides cool elevation changes not normally seen in So Fla.

You're coming down at the absolute height of the season when prices are their highest, but you should still be able to play those courses for under $50. The resorts are packed & expensive this time of year.

This thread is 2 years old, but I am gonna be on Singer Island/Palm Beach Shores at the end of February.  Are the suggestions above still valid? I would like to play somewhere nearby and inexpensively. Thanks.

Check out North Palm Beach GC on US 1 between Northlake Blvd and PGA Blvd. Atlantis is a good old course, one of my favorites. Abacoa GC in Jupiter off Donald Ross Rd There are several county run courses, of which Park Ridge and Okeeheelee are both good, not pricey, link in a previous post above

North Palm Beach CC is 5 miles away. Might try that one. Maybe Palm Beach Gardens Municipal as well. Gonna try and get 3 rounds in. Thanks for the suggestions!

The best ones I've played are:

Westchester

North Palm Beach

Winston Trails

Atlantic National

President CC

These are the ones I'd recommend - and the ones I intend to play again this year, since I'm spending February in Florida. If there's other good courses, please let me know.

I had not heard of President CC. That's not too far from where I will be. I am not able to book any tee times for last week of February (tried North Palm Beach CC, Palm Beach Gardens Muni & just now President CC). Tried golfnow as well. I dont think they take reservations for more than a week in advance. Not sure why that is? I hope it wont be a problem later on.

My friend is visiting Florida to see the Honda Classic with me and we're definitely playing President CC - pm me if you want to play with two duffers from Europe :)

I highly recommend you play Westchester CC, I think it might be the best of the bunch. And shouldn't be to far from you, I'm staying in Lake Worth and it was a 20-minute drive.

President is good, played it last month. Beware the ducks................on 15, we teed off, and we go to our balls. On the other side of the bridge is a bunch of ducks. Anyway, they take off, cracking jokes with my bud who is driving, next thing I know is I get a really hard slap on the right side of my face (enough to split my lip). Damn duck flew into my face sideways, then ends up flapping on the seat between us then on the floor by the pedals. Both of us are like Keystone Cops, cart is still moving.........the other 2 guys are behind us falling out of their cart they are laughing so hard! Too bad they didn't take a movie of it, they saw the duck heading our way.....it was totally hilarious No ducks were harmed during this episode, he flew off, a little sideways at first but he shook it off.

Everyone is saying North Palm Beach CC--I didn't think it was that special.  Seemed to me like a lot of artificial elevation change that didn't fit in with the feel of the golf course. That said, it was pretty fun (maybe that's because I shot 69 the one and only time I teed it up there).  Grass and greens were good, but that's probably true of most Palm Beach area courses.

I really liked Abacoa in Jupiter.

Abacoa... Thanks for the tip. I'll try that one as well. Has anyone here played Seminole Golf Club? A friend of mine is coming over two weeks from now and I need to come up with 8 courses to play with him. Still missing a few possible ones - and depends on the price tag as well, everything seems to be pretty expensive right now. I've already invited baw1 to join us - if there's someone else willing to play, feel free to join in.

I'm pretty sure Seminole is private. It's probably one of the top ten tracks in the country, which is meaningless if you can't play it.

Aah, ok, thanks for the info. Anyway, the courses I'm planning to take my friend to are: North Palm Westchester Polo Trace Winston Trails Atlantic National President CC And two others, depending on the rates. Abacoa possibly. All suggestions are appreciated.

Played Abacoa yesterday, it is in great shape. Think it is $105 per, 11:39 tee time, one of my vendors footed the bill.

Thanks. Have you played any of the courses I listed? How does Abacoa, in your opinion, compare to them?

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
