Type Private
Par 72
Length 7248 yards
Slope 131
Rating 74.9

Originally opened as the Eagle Course at President Country Club, Banyan Cay Resort & Golf was renovated by Nicklaus design in 2017. The fairways are lined with coquina and pampas grass and there are also water hazards and sand bunkers coming into play throughout. The layout offers interesting par 3s that offer particularly nice scenery and a mix of par 4s that range from having ample room to being very tight and requiring more careful course management. The golf course opens with a risk-reward opportunity, a dogleg-right par 5 with a strategically placed lake.

The course was average. Fairways were dry and getting brown. Sand all over the greens. No discount for this that I know of. Too many other courses to play it again

The course has character

Nice place, course is kept in great condition. You have to place some great drives in order to get on the greens in regulation. Definitely will come back.

Decent Course

Course seems to be a little worn out. It was very windy so the challenges were greater. Greens were in good shape and rolled true but slower than expected. No food service until after 10:00. Will probably not play this course if I am ever in West Palm Beach again.

Was a nice course

My brother is a much better player than me, so he loved it, as for the challenge that it is. I lost a few balls mostly from bad shots, but the other 3 players found it a great round of golf. Got clogged up the last few holes and play was slow. After having played the other course many times before it was shut down, for the last few years, i prefer the other one much better but still challenging.
Have a nice day

President CC on Saturday Afternoon

Fairways and greens are rather undulating for a Florida course. Perhaps a lack of rain is making course conditions not as plush as usual.

pleasant surprise

The somewhat dated appearance of the clubhouse/facilities and housing surrounding the course lead to the first impression of old and tired but as we played realized how nice the course layout was and lead to interesting, and challenging holes- with the exception of slow play for the first 8 holes (message finally got to the foursome in front of us to speed up) and then the pace and enjoyment followed. Particularly liked the back 9.

A treat in West Palm Beach

I see there is some disagreement among recent reviewers about the condition of the course - I found it to be in excellent shape with the greens running smooth and pretty fast. The landing areas are fairly generous, but there's lots of trouble if you miss them! We went out a 9, and there was no one ahead of us for several holes and we never saw whoever was behind us, so the pace of play was great - well under four hours. Highly recommended.

I Would Return

I enjoyed the round - grouped with 3 others. Having one player familiar with the layout was helpful - a driver is always needed.

good course

This is a solid course with some difficult holes that require good shots. The course is a little tired, prolly because of all the play it gets. Many sets of tees for all skill levels and pace of play was 4 hrs on a busy day which is pretty good. Greens have a lot of slope but medium speed which make them fair.
