West Palm Beach Golf Park<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The historic, West Palm Beach Golf Club was established in 1947 and designed by Dick Wilson, a Toomey\/Flynn disciple, (known for Bay Hill, Doral, Cog Hill among others). It was renovated in 2009 by Mark McCumber but fell into disrepair and neglect over the years finally closing in 2018. It was a PGA Tour stop in the 1950s hosting the West Palm Beach Open Invitational. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City of West Palm Beach<\/a> accepted a proposal by Seth Waugh, the CEO of the PGA of America<\/a>, to raise outside capital to build a world class, community oriented, public access golf course. They raised a total of $55 Million and employed Gil Hanse<\/a> and Jim <\/strong>Wagner<\/b> to develop an 18 hole championship layout, 9 hole, lighted short course, and a massive putting course on the 180 acre tract of land. <\/a><\/strong>The Park West Palm<\/strong><\/a> is located on the southeast corner of the I-95\/Forest Hill interchange, convenient to virtually all of southeastern Florida. The golf course has been constructed on sand based soils with 30 feet of elevation change providing for an environment bordered by sandy scrub vegetation, oak trees, and sable palmettos reminiscent of the Streaming property-except that it’s not out in the middle of nowhere. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no water in play, but it’s dominated by sand, rippling fairways, generous, undulating green complexes and tucked into a mature residential\/industrial neighborhood. There’s also a lighted 9-hole par three course; an 18-hole putting course, a two-acre kids only golf area; and a lighted two-sided driving range featuring Top Tracer<\/a> technology. The current pricing favors residents of the City of West Palm Beach with $70 greens fees while outsiders will pay around $130 depending on their “dynamic pricing” model. It may end up being one of the best golf courses in Florida you can play according to our guide.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
