About this course

This lighted 9-hole par 3 course embodies a philosophy of 'open golf,' aiming to make the game enjoyable for players of all skill levels and backgrounds. The design focuses on creating a fun and challenging quick loop, perfect for honing short-game skills or enjoying an evening round under the lights. A standout feature is the soon-to-be-famous 9th hole, an exceptionally long putt that can stretch over 150 feet, providing a unique and memorable challenge. The course is part of a larger complex at The Park West Palm, which emphasizes community programming and making golf accessible. The Lit 9's extended hours and walk-up only policy make it a flexible and inviting option for golfers seeking a relaxed yet engaging experience in West Palm Beach.

Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course

Palm Beach, FL · 1.9 mi away

Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course occupies a narrow strip of land in Palm Beach, Florida, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Dick Wilson and his apprentice Joe Lee designed the original course, built by Michael Phipps and opened in 1961; the Town of Palm Beach purchased the course from private ownership in 1973. Raymond Floyd led a renovation completed in 2009 that reworked the routing so more holes run along the ocean and changed the overall hole directions, increasing oceanfront holes from four to six. The project also introduced salt-tolerant paspalum turf to reduce freshwater irrigation needs. The 18-hole course plays entirely as par 3s, with holes ranging from about 81 to 211 yards. The course operates as a public, municipally owned facility with a two-story clubhouse, pro shop, restaurant, driving range, and putting green.

The Breakers Palm Beach - Rees Jones Course

Palm Beach, FL · 4.7 mi away

The Rees Jones Course at The Breakers Palm Beach was originally built in 1968 in the Breakers West community, about 10 miles from the main resort. Rees Jones redesigned the course in 2005 and again in 2022, when it was fully regrassed with TifEagle greens and Celebration Bermuda fairways. The par-72 layout plays 7,104 yards from the Black tees, with a 74.5 rating and 143 slope. Gentle contours and modest elevation changes shape the terrain, and green tees were added for shorter play. It operates as part of The Breakers' golf offerings.
