West Palm Beach has a new spot to tee off. Golf advocates, city leaders, and renowned architects have come together to reimagine the former West Palm Beach Country Club as The Park, a destination that is poised to partner golf and the community in unprecedented ways.

Open to the public, The Park boasts an 18-hole course by Gil Hanse, the TopTracer driving range, and a state-of-the-art coaching center. The facility’s firm and fast terrain is designed for players of all ages, physical abilities, and skill levels, notes Brian Conley, The Park’s general manager. 

At the heart of The Park’s mission and culture is The Path, which Conley describes as “an impactful community initiative tailored to serving the next generation of leaders, on and off the course, through personal growth, education, and mentorship programming.” Such engagement opportunities will include art classes where students learn to paint the golf course and STEM activities that look at the mechanics of golf, plus financial literacy and college prep offerings. 

“The Park will introduce the concept of ‘open golf,’ inviting a new generation of golfers to an inclusive environment that celebrates learning and growing a love for the game, whether that falls in line with golf’s longstanding traditions or a new way completely their own,” adds Conley.
