North Palm Beach Country Club, initially opened in 1963, was the hub of social activity and significant life events for generations until it was demolished in 2018. Redesigned in by Jack Nicklaus, the links-style golf course is one of only two municipal courses in the U.S. designed by the Golden Bear himself. A unique par 71-course design features elevation changes, rarely found in South Florida, along with rolling fairways and undulated well-bunkered greens. Nicklaus purposefully designed this "thinkers" course to be challenging, yet enjoyable to play.

The 2023 Ralph Bogart Tournament, with a full complement of 96 players enjoyed beautiful fairways, fast greens and warm sunshine over 54 holes of competition.
