Wycliffe Golf & Country Club West Course | Palm Beach | Florida
We are planning a West Golf Course renovation in 2022 by highly respected golf course architect, Kipp Schulties, that will be completely funded by capital reserves. Members voted to approve the plan this Spring and we are happy to share the plans for this upcoming project (click here for a video from the architect). Of critical importance throughout this project has been the development of a renovation plan that results in improved playability for golfers of all abilities, and a golf course that offers a fun, yet challenging round of golf.
Below is the current west course.

On this short par 4, begin your round by staying away from the bunkers on the left and the water on the right. Water also guards the front and right sides of the green. You can bail out to the left of the green if necessary.

Water flanks the right side of this short par 4 from tee to green. Two waste areas, one on the left and another straightaway, further restrict the landing area. Play safely and keep the ball on the fairway. Big hitters should lay back a bit.

Water right and a bunker left protect the multi-level green on this par 3. If your tee shot ends up on the same level as the hole, you should have a good chance at birdie.

A tee shot beyond the bunker on the right, but safely away from the water on the left, is perfect on this long par 5. The right side is out of bounds. Place your second shot between the palms on the left and the bunker on the right. Water fronts the shallow green.

This straight par 4 features out of bounds right and water left. A long waste area runs down the right side. The shallow, well-bunkered green slopes from left to right. You can lay-up just right and to the right of the green to avoid the bunkers, then get up and down for par.

Avoid the four fairway bunkers off the tee on this long, dogleg right par 4. Out of bounds flanks the entire right side. Another large bunker guards the left side of the green. Playing this hole as a par 5 to avoid making a big number is a common strategy.

This beautiful par 4 doglegs slightly to the right. Aim your tee shot at the bunker on the left at the bend in the fairway. Once again, out of bounds borders the entire right side of the hole and water guards the left side of the green.

Avoid the fairway bunkers and out of bounds on both sides of this straight par 4. The deep green is also flanked by bunkers. The name of the game here is to stay right down the middle from tee to green.

This beautiful par 3 requires a carry over water. Regardless of the hole location, play for the fat part of the green on the right side, avoiding the narrow left side and the water that cuts closely in front of it.

Out of bounds on the left and right, and a large waste area on the right border this straight par 4. Play your tee shot right of center for the best approach angle. Water beyond the slightly elevated green awaits those who hit too much club on their second shot.

Keep tee shots out of the bunkers on the left on this slight dogleg right par 4. A large waste area protects the right side. The elevated green is guarded by two bunkers left and another in back. Laying up short and right of the green avoids the greenside bunkers and a big number.

As on the previous hole, both sides of this straight par 4 are out of bounds. Keeping the ball in the middle of the fairway, beyond the bunkers on the left, is critical here. Water on the left comes into play on your approach shot.

The tee shot on this slight dogleg right par 4 looks harder than it is as the landing area is quite generous. Avoid the out of bounds left and the water right. Play your approach shot to the left side of the green away from the water.

This great short par 5 offers classic risk/reward options. Big hitters can carry the bunkers on the right and reach in two. Others should lay back from the tee and then lay up in front of the fairway bunker on the right for a 100-yard approach shot to the elevated green.

Out of bounds lines both sides of this short, slight dogleg left par 5. Big hitters can easily reach in two. Mere mortals should lay up their second shots as close to the bunkers on the right as possible; doing so takes the water out of play on the approach shot.

A waste area loops around the start of the fairway and continues up the right side on this solid finishing par 4. Out of bounds and a bunker guard the left side. Your approach to the slightly elevated green must carry the water on the right while avoiding the greenside bunkers on the left.
