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.

Very well laid out with a variety of holes which suit the eye.
An excellent course in a great location with friendly and helpful staff. In good condition for the time of year. The course is well laid out and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Lots of well placed bunkers and very tricky greens.
well design course, excellent greens condition
i loved that course, bunkers in strategic positions, scenic view on the canal, ondulated greens, need a good level of skills to perform
Well worth playing
Exceptionally friendly and courteous staff. Carts and GPS were excellent. Course wonderfully maintained. The greens, in great condition, are undulating and very challenging.
Great and challening greens ,,, Rolling hills very nice
Great course , great layout but wouldnt pay full price to play ,,,, 80 dollars for a rond a bit pricey but WELL WORTH the 45 I got on here
Staff was exceptional
Played on a Saturday (in 3 hours 50 min which seems pretty decent for a weekend!). Course was in good condition, and challenging. Believe the re design by Jack Niclaus was in his "bury an elephant under the green" phase so be warned - but otherwise, would absolutely play again.
GREAT PLAY
GREEN SLOW DUE TO REFURBISHING
REST OF COURSE GOOD
RECENTLY CHANGED GREEN KEEPER
no better municipal course layout anywhere
Course in very good condition. Everything about the course is a challenge. Nicklaus' design makes even the shorter holes difficult. The greens are large and undulating. The course has elevations you don't normally see in south Florida. Great for low handicap golfers-a nightmare for the 15+ players.
Pristine
Course in perfect condition, staff extremely cordial, friendly and helpful.
Nothing better for $30.
One of my favorite Palm Beach County courses to play.
no 2 holes are the same you will use most clubs in bag
traps need work and greens could be quicker.staff is friendly and helpful. will definately play again
Challenging and fun to play.
Usually out of my budget range, your "hot deal" made it affordable.
Excellent conditions. Challenge is on and around the greens.
Typical Nicklaus layout. many bunkers,including large waste bunkers. Some elevated greens with many false fronts.
Dog legs mostly to the right.. Severely slopped greens that run true. Magnificent inter coastal views with hills.
A must play if in Palm Beach county.
Pricey in season.
Great layout, a few hilly fairways and greens not typical of coastal Florida would play it again excellent course
Great course great condition great staff
Unique layout
Great course, Great condition!
Course had several days of hard rain prior to our play and was in perfect condition. no mudballs. beautiful greens! Just a real pleasure to play.
Nice public play course.
Very nice course layout and awesome views. Course plays a little longer due to some uphill shots but not overly difficult. Greens were in great shape and rolled true, but a little on the slow side. Not as undulated as I had read or expected. Played on a Friday so green fees were $55 +tax and then $5 for 30 range balls made the cost a bit higher than I thought it should be. Overall, I enjoyed the day and the playing partners I was teamed with.
Mickey Mouse greens
This was a nice older course before Jack Nicholas rehabbed it. The greens are like putt-putt greens up down and around. The conditions were average, a good value at the Hot Deal rate, but not at the rack rate.
GPS was added, but not working on day of play, 90 degree day, but cart never got to us and no vending machines on course.
Nice view of the intercostal.
Beautiful Public Golf Course and Location.
Moderate to some difficult holes. Any level of player would enjoy.
Course in great shape and pleasure to play
The course was in great shape and the staff was very courteous. I'm 81 yrs old and played the senior tees which gave me a break on some of the more challenging features you would face on the longer tees.
Despite a wide open layout the undulating greens and more sand than the Sahara Desert make this course challenging
The large undulating greens make it difficult to card good scores on this course. That is if you are able to get to the green after spending so much time at the "beach". It also seems to always be a little windy. Did I mention many of the greens are elevated? If you enjoy a challenge you won't be disappointed
Average experience, condition
Initially this was shaping up for a negative experience, but the NPBCC staff got with the program and really stepped up. Played from the Black tees with a decent breeze from the east. The layout was challenging and at times really long. Conditions were good as the fairways lies were good, sand in the bunkers and the rough presented a challenge. Greens rolled and held decently and there were still recently top dressed punch marks visible, but nothing that really impacted putting.
