North Palm Beach Country Club
About
North Palm Beach Country Club is situated on the Intracoastal Waterway atop the Seminole Ridge, offering scenic views and a rolling terrain covered with natural oak hammocks. The golf course is one of only two municipal courses in the country that are Jack Nicklaus Signature courses. It has received much acclaim for being not only one of the best public golf courses in Florida, but also one of the best publics in the U.S. There are rolling fairways and undulating greens, many of which are fiercely guarded by bunkers. Although a bevy of challenges has been built into the course, flexibility was also incorporated into the design with five sets of tees. North Palm Beach Country Club offers playability to a range of skill levels but from the back tees it is a formidable challenge to even the most advanced golfers.

Sand Castels
Spent most of the day making sand castels. Don't be over ambitious like me or the bunkers will eat you alive. Lovely course, beautiful condition.
My Favorite WPB Course
Not your typical Florida course. Has hills, contouring and elevation changes, especially greens on hilltops, and excessive bunkering. In excellent condition and beautiful scenery by the Intracoastal and tree-lined fairways. More difficult than other area courses. Cart GPS was right on. Staff very friendly. Wish it was not so expensive.
They let you walk and carry
Hills in south Florida who thought. Greens are too lumpy but greens were right speed that you have a chance .too expensive unless you get a deal
Well maintained
Good value with a discount of some kind
Tough greens to negotiate but fair and true.
Worth the Extra Dollars
Excellent maintenance of course makes it a fun day. Advertising of 'play along the Intercoastal Waterway' applies to 3 holes. Bunkers are plentiful and got my attention. Didn't spend much time in them, but had to alter my shots and alterations caused some challenges. Over all a fair and challenging course. Greens were in good shape; rolled true.
North Palm
Great tee boxes excellent fairways did not like the hills on greens to hard to get close to pins not knowing where to land
Good muni course
This is the third time playing this course. It has a fair amount of water, but nothing extreme compared to a lot of Florida courses. Lots of bunkers - apparently when Jack Nicklaus helped to redesign the course, he added a lot of sand. The bunkers are in only fair condition at this point. Challenging greens. Staff has been great on all three visits. Would recommend this course if you're in the area.
The Monster That Jack Built
Very fair but tuff golf course. The greens are like billard tables but slower than the last time I played 2 years ago.
Love the greens
I would play here more often if I could afford it.
Nicklaus Public play
Billed as one of only two Jack Nicklaus designed courses in the country open to public play, the North Palm Beach Country Club was typical of Jack's design elements. The course itself was in sublime shape. I arrived early, had no other groups arriving for 30 minutes so went out myself. It was great experience and left me with plans to return the next day. Unfortunately my back went out on me and I was terribly disappointed to not be able to return.
The woman at the pro shop desk even made homemade cookies!
For South Florida this is a course you will appreciate.
You should enjoy playing this course. A lot better than the other courses you will play in South Florida. Not another flat hole to hole layout. The only reason I gave it a 4 was because the greens were slower than I would have expected. Get a good rate and try it, you'll like it.
Greens have been slowed down for the whinners !
Haven't played NPB for a year (this is my 3rd round here) but a little disappointed that the greens have been slowed considerably to 9-10 on the stimp when on the other times the greens were closer to 12-13 on the stimp. Told by marshall that the locals (ok, the old guys) could not putt on fast greens and were complaining loudly. Nevertheless, the high winds this day made for a challenging and pleasant round as well as the luck in drawing a congenial low handicap single as a cart mate. IMHO, Jack did a great job in this re-design given the relative flatness of the course. The vista from the 18th tee is especially great as it makes you do a double take and remind yourself that you're in FLA and not AZ.
my favorite palm beach course!!
Great views and some of the most challenging putting greens I have ever seen.
difficult greens
Course was in good shape. Slope was 131, but was not very difficult except for the greens. They are difficult almost to the point of being goofy.
Nice, very well maintained, semi-private course along intercostal waterway
Friendly staff. Very well maintained, almost pristine course bounded by intercostal waterway. Nice views. Excellent fairway and greens conditions. Very good pace of play. Thoroughly enjoyable experience with an upper mid range greens fees.
A great experience
We had a wonderful round & will be certain to return. Course is very challenging but fair if you can keep it straight
Great Test of Golf
Challenging but fair test of golf; best course redesign I have ever seen. This course is a Palm Beach County gem now.
Not your typical flat Florida course.
The hills from the beach make this course very fun to play. There are a lot of elevated greens. Some flat holes challenged by wind from the water. Everything you need to keep up your game is on this course.
great course
great course, great price, great personal, i highly recommendit
