Frequently Asked Questions

Can a non-member play a round at Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, and if so, how?

Royal Palm is an exclusive private club, so you won't find public tee times available. Your best bet is to secure an invitation from a member or explore if your home club has a reciprocal agreement, which is sometimes possible with clubs of this caliber. It's truly a special experience, so it's worth the effort to find a way on.

What's the course design like at Royal Palm - is it a challenging layout, or more forgiving?

This course is a classic Florida layout, meticulously maintained and surprisingly strategic, not just a resort stroll. You'll find water on nearly every hole, demanding precise shot-making, especially around the greens. The conditioning is always immaculate, making it a true pleasure to play despite its challenges.

When is the best time of year to visit Royal Palm for the best golf weather?

We highly recommend playing Royal Palm between late November and early May. During these months, you'll enjoy cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and less chance of afternoon thunderstorms, making for a much more comfortable and enjoyable round. The course is always in fantastic shape, but the weather truly elevates the experience then.

Beyond the golf, what kind of atmosphere and amenities can I expect at Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club?

Expect an atmosphere of understated luxury and impeccable service from the moment you arrive. The club prides itself on a refined, welcoming environment, and you'll find top-tier practice facilities, a well-stocked pro shop, and excellent dining options. It's a full-service experience where every detail is handled with care.

Are there any specific holes or unique features at Royal Palm I should be prepared for?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 17th, which plays over water to a well-guarded green - it's a real beauty and a true test of nerve late in your round. Also, the finishing stretch around the clubhouse is particularly scenic, with the surrounding estates and waterways adding to the impressive backdrop. Strategic bunkering throughout the course also demands your attention.
