Breakers West Golf Course

The Breakers West course is about 10 miles west of the hotel in Palm Beach County. If was originally designed by Willard Byrd, with redesign work by Ken Green, and then a renovation by Rees Jones in 2004. From the back tees, it's 7100 yards, 140 slope, and 74.9 rating. It's a more updated, modern course design than the Ocean course, and more typical of Florida courses with a lot of water and sand through an upscale housing development. Challenging course with a number of forced carries depending on the tee box you choose. Very well conditioned and landscaped to the hilt. The Ocean Course was built in the 1890's, and is Florida's oldest 18 hole course. Originally designed by Alex Findlay, it was redesigned by Brian Silva in 2000 and is a short, traditional style course of 6100 yards from the back tees, 127 slope, par 70. The course is set in the front yard of the Breakers Hotel, has water in play on 9 holes, well bunkered, and requires good accuracy off the tee, and on the approach shots. Like the West course, extremely well maintained, and landscaped, and excellent guest service throughout. The prices here are over the top, with many other courses in the greater Palm Beach County area of equal quality and much less in price.
