About this course

Southwinds Golf Course is a Palm Beach County public course on Lyons Road in unincorporated west Boca Raton. The county bought the property in 1988 and opened it as a public course in 1989. The 18-hole par-70 layout covers 111 acres of the 135-acre site, with about 22 acres of lakes in play. It sees around 65,000 rounds a year and is open year-round. Practice facilities include an aqua driving range, two practice greens and a practice bunker, with PGA and LPGA instruction. Audubon International has certified it as a sanctuary. The county closed the course from August 3 to September 4, 2026 for renovation and grow-in, so check current conditions with the golf shop.
