Booked last minute trip to Jupiter

[MayorOfTheRoc]

I booked a Flight to florida today, Flying in next friday the 6th and leaving the following saturday... Looking to play golf If any WRX'ers are interested or around. Also any suggestions on courses besides the par 3 and Abaccoa? Possible to get on PGA national Courses in the winter?

Courses in the area in addition to Abacoa that are public include;

Palm Beach Gardens Golf Course - ok course out west of PBG (just south of Jupiter)
North Palm Beach Country Club - Nicklaus Signature course - overlooks the Intracoastal - very contoured greens (just south of Jupiter)
Lost Lake Golf Club - ok course just in Hobe Sound (just north of Jupiter)
Golf Club of Jupiter - public track in Jupiter, par 71 its a place to play - driving range is into water with floating balls and nowhere to chip

From time to time you can get on at Ironhorse Country Club in WPB/PBG and there are a number of courses in WPB that are ok tracks- check Golfnow.

PGA National - only way that I know you can play there without a member is to stay at the resort.

Most of the better courses are all private:
Admirals Cove, Bears Club, Ritz Carlton, Jupiter Country Club, Loxahatchee Country Club, Jonathans Landing, Dye Preserve all in Jupiter.
Tequesta Country Club, Turtle Creek, Jupiter Hills, Jupiter Island, Hobe Sound Golf Club, Medalist, McArthur in Tequesta/Hobe Sound just north
Mirasol, BallenIsles, PGA, Frenchmans Reserve, Frenchmans Creek, Lost Tree, Seminole in Palm Beach Gardens/North Palm just south

Heading down there in march for our annual get away. Courses at the Ritz Carlton in Jupiter are very good.
We played North Palm Beach Country Club last year and left after 13 holes. Everything about it except the course was bad.
Poor pace of play, no marshals, wait staff, ugh, you name it. We literally left after 13 and it is the ONLY course I have ever walked off.

That is one of the Courses on my list, Some of the pictures online make it look very cool with some of the holes along the intercoastal... was it that bad you had to walk off after 13 holes? yikes doesnt sound good, Im use to 5-6 hour rounds on public courses in New York Idk how much worse it could be

I know this is a little outdated, but I was in the area a few weeks ago and had the pleasure to play Turtle Creek. I hadn't heard much about it, but was told it was a "hidden gem." Well, it most certainly was a gem. I was very pleasantly surprised. Great layout and I really enjoyed the way the staff conditioned the course.

Try Hammock Creek GC in Palm City,FL(about a 20 mile drive north of Jupiter off I-95). I played this last year and it was in great shape. Got an awesome deal with Golfnow.com. I believe it was only $48.00 to play 18. Well worth the drive. Wish I was going to Jupiter. A very nice hotel on the beach to stay at is called the Jupiter Beach Resort. Prices are not too bad for oceanfront lodging.
