West Palm Beach Trip

[PHochstetler]

Hi All,

 

3 buddies and I are headed down to West Palm in August. We're going to stay at PGA National and play 3 rounds there and 1 off site. Right now what we are thinking of playing the courses below. Would you substitute in any other courses for what we have? Also, any bars/restaurants you would recommend in the area?

 

The Champions

The Palmer

The Fazio

North Palm Beach CC

 

Thanks!

NPBCC for sure. Actually much better than most of the courses at PGA Ntl. Numerous great restaurants in the area. We particularly like Spoto's, Rocco's Tacos, and J. Alexander

Don't forget Hog Snappers by NPBCC. Mostly seafood and sushi but really good!

You should also check out Palm Beach Par 3. It's sandwiched between the ocean and I the interior stalker waterfall. Fun place to kill a few hours. The conditions and layout are awesome.

Abacoa.

Spoto's

Captain Charlie's Reef Grill (NO reservations)

West Palm Beach Golf Course might be the best value in public golf.

Sure, Wpb cc is a good value if you like 5 hour rounds and not having any shape to wait under just to save 10 bucks. Course conditions aren't so great either. Sign Up for President Country Club ' email rates and play for $35 first thing in the morning. That's the beat deal going.

It's a private course, although I think there was some limited access in the summer, but you could reach out to Bear Lakes. The Lakes course was quite good. Many different shots required. May be a higher fee than others you listed, but likely a better course.

And it's basically right across the freeway from the President.

Disappointing to hear it's been slow in your experience. I played it a few weeks ago with a friend and we got around in 3 1/2 hours, teeing off at 3:30 pm (for $22 each). Will have to check out President one of these days.

Absolutely play the Palm Beach Par 3. Its a pretty easy track, but the views are top notch and the course is kept in great condition. Avoid Boca Greens CC at all cost. Course is fine, staff is not.

If you like seafood Captain Charlie's is a must. Lots of different menu items.

As for the golf you will be close to Abacoa and that would be my top public choice followed by North Palm and the West Palm muni.

[/quote]Absolutely agree with Palm Beach Par 3 as fun outing. Have also played Boca Green CC, wasn't mistreated at all but not exactly welcomed either. By

The square grouper is a must for drinks !!

If you head about 20 min north on the turnpike to Hobe Sound, you can play Martin Downs, hammock Creek or Lost Lakes.
Then head over to Federal Hwy (Rt 1) and hit up Kodi's steakhouse.

Captain Charlie's is on of the best fish restaurants I've been to. My go to is the hog snapper with coconut crust, key lime sauce on the side

[jja6782]

Wasn't that impressed by the par 3 myself. Make the drive to osprey pointe for an amazing course at a bargain

Is your avatar your club? I played with the GM of that place a few years ago in PSL. Can't tell if he's still there or not, though. Website has very little info it appears.
