Old Palm Golf Club


Old Palm Golf Club is a private residential golf community with an equity club located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, United States. The community was founded in 2004 by WCI, but in September 2010 was purchased by real estate investment group Clarion Partners.
Old Palm Golf Club adheres to the vision of John D. MacArthur, whose original plan for Palm Beach Gardens was to create a "garden city", with streets lined with flowers and trees.

Geographical area

The subdivision is bordered on the south by PGA Boulevard, on the east by Central Boulevard, and on the west by Florida's Turnpike.

Golf course

The golf course at Old Palm Golf Club was originally designed by Raymond Floyd. The course is composed of an 18-hole par-72 golf course, a 19th "bye" hole and three full-length practice holes.
In 2007, Old Palm Golf Club was awarded the "Gold Signature Sanctuary" certification by the Audubon International Society. Close to 98% of irrigation water at Old Palm is reclaimed.

Golf

It is home to the Old Palm Golf Studio under the Director of Golf, Bud Taylor. In 1995, Taylor was elected to the PGA of America and is a PGA Certified Master Professional. In 2001 he was the recipient of Golfweek magazine's "Top 40 under 40" award.
Mark Hackett who serves as the Director of Instruction at Old Palm was honored by Golf Magazine as one of the Top 100 golf teachers in the country.

Notable residents

Raymond Floyd's late wife, Maria Floyd, worked closely with interior designers Scott Snyder and Anthony Minichetti to create a distinct sense of place, with décor inspired by early-1900s architect Addison Mizner, the designer of Boca Raton and Palm Beach's Worth Avenue. The clubhouse is elegant yet comfortable and is built with organic construction materials, adorned with cypress ceilings and limestone flooring.
