The Pine Tree Golf Club in Boynton Beach, Florida, is an exclusive private club featuring a highly regarded 18-hole golf course, excellent golfing facilities, and first-class clubhouse amenities. Pine Tree is home to many well-known currents and former professional golfers who have been drawn by the club's Dick Wilson-designed layout, which has a reputation of being a particularly stern test, and it's easy to see why.
Wilson was commissioned by the club founding members, which included Walker Cupers, to fashion a testing golf course on what was, a rather uninspiring and largely flat parcel of dairy farmland. The par 71 layouts he designed has since become something of a darling of the golf architecture world.
Opened for play in January 1962, Pine Tree was built over a 168-acre stretch of sand and slash pine. The course was later re-modeled by Joe Lee, a Wilson protégé, in 1990, by Ron Forse in 1997, and again by Bobby Weed and Scot Sherman in 2005. Now playing 7,308-yards from the back tees, at sea level, in usually windy conditions and with elevated, angled greens well protected by many of the layout's 125 bunkers - the course gives players nothing.
World Golf Hall of Fame inductees and other legends of the game such as Arnold Palmer, Louise Suggs, Mickey Wright, Beth Daniel, Karrie Webb, Sam Snead, Tommy Armour, Meg Mallon, and many others have called Pine Tree their home winter club. Popular quotes demonstrating the respect in which the Pine Tree layout is held include “The best course I have ever seen.” - Ben Hogan, “A truly great course.” - Jack Nicklaus, “The greatest course I have ever played.” - Ruth Jessen, “Dick Wilson's greatest work of all.” - Gardner Dickinson.
Course Architects: Dick Wilson, Joe Lee, Ron Forse, Bobby Weed, and Scot Sherman.
