The Course
About The Breakers Ocean Golf Course
The Breakers Ocean Course is a 9-hole par-3 executive layout on the grounds of the historic Breakers Palm Beach - one of the most storied resort properties in the United States, on the oceanfront at Palm Beach. The course is exclusive to Breakers guests and members, and at just over 2,000 yards, it's a leisurely addition to a resort stay rather than a destination golf experience.
History
The Breakers Ocean Golf Course — History
Alex Findlay laid the course out in 1897 for The Breakers in Palm Beach, making it the oldest in Florida. Brian Silva renovated it in 2000 and Rees Jones with Steve Weisser again in 2019, both working within the historic routing.
Design
The Breakers Ocean Golf Course — Design
Florida's oldest golf course, laid out by Alex Findlay in 1897 and still playing on the same ground beside the hotel in Palm Beach. It is short by any modern standard at under 5,800 yards to a par 70, and that is the point: this is a walk through the origins of Florida golf rather than a modern test. Brian Silva renovated it in 2000 and Rees Jones with Steve Weisser again in 2019, both working within the historic routing.

Florida's oldest golf course, in play since 1897 on the same ground beside the hotel. Under 5,800 yards -- this is a walk through the origins of golf in the state rather than a modern test, and there is nothing else like it.
