About The Park West Palm

The Park West Palm is a remarkable transformation of the former West Palm Beach Golf Course, reimagined by renowned architect Gil Hanse. Opened in 2023, this municipal course offers a world-class golf experience accessible to the public, embodying a commitment to community and the pure joy of the game. Hanse's design philosophy shines through, creating a course that feels both classic and contemporary, with strategic bunkering, naturalized areas, and a layout that encourages thoughtful shot-making.

The course features wide fairways and expansive green complexes, reminiscent of golden-age architecture, yet it's designed to be playable for golfers of all skill levels. The routing flows seamlessly through the landscape, utilizing existing elevation changes and natural features to create distinct and memorable holes. Beyond the championship layout, The Park West Palm is a true golf campus, boasting a lighted 9-hole par-3 course, a massive practice facility, and a state-of-the-art learning center, making it a comprehensive destination for golf enthusiasts.

Playing at The Park West Palm is an engaging experience that balances challenge with enjoyment. The course demands strategic thinking, particularly around the greens, which often feature subtle contours and collection areas. The commitment to public access and top-tier design makes it a standout golf destination in South Florida, offering a refreshing take on municipal golf with an emphasis on quality and community engagement.
