Located in southern Palm Beach County, The Country Club of Florida's rich history began in 1956. Built on 160-acres of the old Hunt Dairy Farm, the original members-only golf course was designed by noted Chicago architect Robert Bruce Harris. The rolling terrain, unusual for South Florida, crosses through a prominent sand ridge that was a dune line on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean millions of years ago.
Fast forward to 1987, Arthur Hills was awarded the contract for remodeling the golf course, although the 18-holes would maintain its creative and unique routing with both nines identical in their order of par fours, fives, and threes. The design change was so dramatic in style and beauty, that upon completion, the thirteenth hole replaced number four as the club's signature hole.
Nineteen years later, in 2006, Lester George directed the second-course renovation. Ponds and lakes were deepened and enlarged, bunkers were increased to a total of eighty-three, and the same par 72 routing sequence remained. His talent and imagination resulted in the creation of stunning and expansive views throughout a 7,002-yard layout surrounded by nature.
In 2019, the club installed new Har-Tru tennis courts and pickleball courts for members' use. The Lifestyle Centre is another exciting new facility that opened in June 2020 that includes state-of-the-art Technogym fitness equipment, Pilates, group fitness classes, spa treatments, physical therapy, as well as a resort-style lap pool. The beautifully designed clubhouse offers both casual and formal dining, an outdoor patio, and can accommodate private dining.
