Atlantis Country Club tee times

Located just a short distance from Palm Beach International Airport, Atlantis Country Club is a great option for golfers looking for an affordable public-access course in an area of South Florida where private courses are abundant and green fees can be quite steep. This hidden gem is situated within a gated community and is known for hosting the prestigious Pop Sikes Father and Son Team Championship tournament each year. The course's unique layout was designed by Dick Wilson and Robert Simmons in 1973 and features mature live oaks and banyan trees instead of the typical palm trees and water features found on most South Florida courses. The course offers a mix of wide open and tighter holes that range in length from 5,120 to 6,542 yards with a par of 72, making it an exciting challenge for golfers of all skill levels. To help players navigate the course, there are five sets of tee markers and numerous doglegs, along with varying sizes of fairway landing areas. Water hazards come into play on nine holes, but the bunkers are the course's main defense of par, with 100 strategically placed sand pits complicating access to both the landing areas and the greens. The elevated, quick, moderately undulating, Champion Ultradwarf putting surfaces are a strength of the course. Golfers will hit every club in their bag at some point on this layout. The signature par-3 17th hole is a standout, with a creek to the left of the green and stout bunkers that require precise shot placement. Atlantis Country Club takes great pride in its exceptional course maintenance. The well-manicured landscaping gives the course a garden-like quality, while the practice facilities include an iron-only range and a putting green. Although the clubhouse does not have a restaurant, the snack bar offers drinks and seating with views of the course. Overall, Atlantis Country Club is a fun and highly playable course that offers a unique golfing experience in South Florida.
