Delray Beach Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Delray Beach Golf Club is the championship sister course to the executive Lakeview Golf Club, which is located less than a mile away. It is also less than three miles from downtown Delray Beach. Opened in 1926, Donald Ross designed the layout and over the years, touring professionals on their way to Miami have made it a habit to stop and play the classic design. Its still-growing popularity is a testament to the quality of the round. It provides a quick round that can be played in just over 4 hours but it still offers enough challenges for low handicappers. There is very little water coming into play but with the strategic bunkering that is abundant throughout the course, water features will hardly be missed. The club also has a reputation for being one of the most well maintained public courses in the area as well.

Beautiful layout .It's a shame this course isn't in prestige condition
worst greens in Palm Beach
I play a lot of different public courses in Palm Beach county and these are the worst greens I've played in years
Good amelioration on Greens
They put a lot of fertilizer on their greens so it more plaisant golfing there
Greens
Course was fine, but the greens were in poor condition
Delray Awesomeness
Get conditions, my wife and I got teamed up with a coulpe gents from Long Island and had a great time. Tee boxes awesome, greens are the best we’ve seen yet. As Arnold says “I’ll be back”. Thank you to a great staff!
such a travesty
yep, I played Delray Beach Golf Course yesterday, the greens are as bad as ever, just pathetic. Some greens were shrunk 25% due to their poor condition. The fairways have about 50% grass coverage and the rough has 90% weed coverage. The city council and their hired management company should be entirely ashamed of themselves. It seems obvious they want to starve this club of funds needed to improve the condition in order to steal the land for other development.
My recommendation to other golfers, come and play this course while it's still an 18 hole facility; I doubt it will be for long.
Greens need more maintenance
The greens are better year after year but still have need more care
Fairways are so so, not enough grass
But is good play there
I love the course , it needs TLC on the fairways and greens . The city of Delray needs to spend some money and improve the place .
Needs a little more work
Could be a premier course because 9 holes are designed by Donald Ross. It is minutes from downtown and there is a convenient exit off of I95 and the Florida Turnpike to this location. It needs proper maintenance of the greens and fair ways. There is a drainage problem on 2 holes after a heavy rain. Unfortunately the land that the course is on is very valuable for development and the maintenance of the course is a political time bomb

How can your comment of greens are the best be true when every other comment says the greens are horrible?
