President Country Club, Patriot Golf Course

Detailed description of President Country Club, Patriot Golf Course

President Golf and Country Club is a semi-private (open to the public) 36 hole golf facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida. The facility has two 18-hole golf courses, they are: The Eagle Golf Course (previously named The South Course)and The Patriot Golf Course (previously named The North Course).

Both courses opened for play in 1972 and were designed by William F. Mitchell. The Eagle Course was redesigned in 2011 by Robert Trent Jones Jr.

Palm Tree Golf Management, a group led by Hardrives Inc. founder George Elmore, in 2011 paid $11 million for the club and its two golf courses. The club fell into financial trouble after it loaded up on debt to renovate the clubhouse and upgrade the south course, known as the Eagle Course, which was redone by noted designer Robert Trent Jones Jr. The club, once built as an amenity for homeowners, now is open to the public.
