About this course
The North Palm Beach Country Club is a municipally owned facility in Florida, featuring a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course that underwent a significant redesign in 2006 and a subsequent upgrade in 2019. Originally a 1926 Seth Raynor design, the course is situated on a unique natural sand dune, providing elevation changes rarely found in South Florida. The layout is characterized by generous fairways, undulated well-bunkered greens, and strategic water hazards. A defining feature is the 'Bear's Lair,' a challenging finishing stretch spanning holes 14 through 18. The facility is one of only two municipal courses in the United States designed by Nicklaus and is recognized as a notable stop on the Florida Historic Golf Trail. The property also includes a modern 37,000-square-foot clubhouse, ten lighted tennis courts, and a 50-meter lap pool, all open to the general public year-round.
