Palm City has always had a quieter rhythm compared to its neighbors, and Palm Cove Golf Club leans into that character. Fresh off a comprehensive transformation, the club has re-established itself as a private golf destination that values community as much as it does quality golf. It’s the kind of place where you’re just as likely to run into neighbors after work as you are to share a tee box with celebrity YouTube golfers like BustaJack or golf legends like Martin Hall, who count themselves among Palm Cove’s members.
The course itself has been reshaped to balance strategy with enjoyment. Firm, fast TifEagle greens reward precision, while wide landing areas framed by native palms, bamboo, and ornamental grasses create a calm, inviting backdrop. The design keeps play approachable and unhurried—ideal for golfers who appreciate thoughtful shot-making without the rigid pace found at more traditional clubs.
But Palm Cove is about more than golf alone. The experience is deliberately relaxed, with custom-built golf carts keeping the pace quick and the atmosphere fun, complete with built-in speakers and Wi-Fi coming soon. Across the course, brand-new comfort stations make mid-round breaks effortless, each stocked with cocktails, grills, snacks, and everything needed to keep the round lively. With a new restaurant opening for the 2025–2026 season that’s designed to serve as a true social hub—perfect for dinner, drinks on the veranda, or a post-round gathering. Just steps away, a custom four-faced Verdin Clock between the 9th green and 10th tee serves as a new landmark, tying together golf and community.
Practice facilities have been upgraded to match the course. Nearly 2,000 square feet of artificial turf hitting bays, complete with the latest technology and a dedicated instruction zone, give members every opportunity to fine-tune their game. A new three-hole par 3 loop adds even more variety — perfect for sharpening short-game skills, quick matches with friends, or family-friendly play. Whether working on fundamentals or enjoying a quick loop, the setup is designed to be flexible and fun.
Membership remains selective but welcoming. The initiation is now set at $90,000, with an Executive Membership option available for golfers under 45. Palm Cove members also gain access to a reciprocal network of more than 850 signature courses worldwide, expanding opportunities for play while preserving the club’s close-knit, local feel.
For locals, the message is clear: At Palm Cove, play moves at your pace. With no tee times required, members enjoy an unhurried round that feels relaxed yet refined. Palm Cove isn’t a buttoned-up, tucked-in-shirt kind of club. It’s a place built for golf and good times, where the atmosphere is as important as the course, and where members come together to enjoy the game—and each other—in a way that feels natural, inclusive, and distinctly Palm City.
