Top courses
Editor-picked layouts ranked by prestige, conditioning and player experience.
Design by Tom Fazio / Karl Litten · Par 72 · 7,048 yds
Host of the Honda Classic, this demanding championship layout tests every club in the bag with water and wind. Book the earliest tee time available to avoid afternoon winds that can add three clubs to every approach.
Design by Rees Jones · Par 72 · 6,154 yds
A spectacular resort course redesigned by Rees Jones featuring dramatic elevation changes and ocean-influenced breezes. Stay at The Breakers for priority tee times and complimentary bag storage between rounds.
Design by Jack Nicklaus · Par 72 · 6,836 yds
A beautifully conditioned private-style daily fee course with generous fairways and strategic bunkering throughout. Twilight rates after 2pm offer the best value while afternoon shadows cool the course significantly.
Design by Tom Fazio · Par 72 · 7,006 yds
Tom Fazio's masterpiece featuring rolling terrain, dramatic mounding, and one of South Florida's most photogenic finishing holes. Ask the starter about wind patterns before your round as the exposed back nine plays completely differently in a breeze.
