Course Report
The Park hosted The Match IX in 2024, featuring Rory McIlroy, Max Homa, Lexi Thompson, and Rose Zhang.
About
The Park West Palm is a vibrant, modern municipal golf destination in West Palm Beach. Opened in 2023 and designed by Gil Hanse, the layout features 18 holes, a par-3 Lit 9 for night play, and a TopTracer-powered driving range. Focused on community and accessibility, The Park attracts golfers of all skill levels and has quickly become a South Florida favorite.
Caddie Tip
Bring your short game—many holes offer generous fairways but demand creativity around the greens. Pay special attention to wind direction, especially on the par 3s, and favor conservative targets when in doubt. Reading subtle green contours carefully will save strokes over a full round.
The Main Challenge
The toughest aspect of The Park West Palm is its exposure to ocean breezes and tricky green complexes. Many holes require precise approach shots to undulating putting surfaces, with run-off areas and bold contours penalizing imprecise play. Accurate club selection and strategic thinking are critical to avoid big numbers.
The Good
Golfers love The Park West Palm for its inclusive vibe, modern architecture, and outstanding practice facilities. The Gil Hanse design blends strategic interest with visual appeal, offering rewarding challenges for all abilities. The Lit 9 par-3 course and TopTracer range create a lively atmosphere that encourages both serious play and casual fun.
The Not So Good
Some players have noted that early turf establishment led to uneven lies and occasional bare spots in high-traffic areas. On busy days, pace can slow down during peak times, and limited tee availability has led to fully booked tee sheets, requiring advanced planning for preferred times.
Signature Hole:
#
5
The par 3 5th at The Park West Palm is a 227-yard test that plays dramatically into the prevailing ocean breeze. Its open-fronted green invites running shots, while a swale bisects the putting surface. Back pin locations, set behind the depression, make for the toughest targets. The hole’s contours demand pinpoint accuracy for a realistic shot at par.
Clubhouse
The clubhouse offers a pro shop, casual dining, modern locker rooms, and spaces for community gatherings. The venue supports youth programming and features amenities for all ages and skill levels, including gear rentals and a welcoming lounge environment.
Practice Facilities
The practice area features a TopTracer-equipped range with both grass and synthetic tees, a large putting course, and extensive short-game spaces. Players can warm up efficiently or enjoy high-tech range sessions. The Lit 9 par-3 course, under the lights, is a standout for night-time practice and fun.
