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.

West Course - Hole 1

PACE OF PLAY: 14 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 323
Blue 300
Silver 323
White 323
Bronze 284
Handicap 11

Ladies Tees
Gold 265
Orange 221
Green 221
Platinum 221
Handicap 7

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.

West Course - Hole 2

PACE OF PLAY: 28 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 344
Blue 301
Silver 301
White 301
Bronze 276
Handicap 13

Ladies Tees
Gold 243
Orange 243
Green 206
Platinum 206
Handicap 13

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.

West Course - Hole 3

PACE OF PLAY: 41 | PAR: 3

Men's Tees
Black 144
Blue 132
Silver 132
White 132
Bronze 120
Handicap 15

Ladies Tees
Gold 111
Orange 99
Green 99
Platinum 69
Handicap 15

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.

West Course - Hole 4

PACE OF PLAY: 56 | PAR: 5

Men's Tees
Black 553
Blue 528
Silver 528
White 528
Bronze 483
Handicap 1

Ladies Tees
Gold 448
Orange 410
Green 410
Platinum 253
Handicap 1

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.

West Course - Hole 5

PACE OF PLAY: 1:09 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 388
Blue 361
Silver 361
White 361
Bronze 298
Handicap 5

Ladies Tees
Gold 280
Orange 280
Green 266
Platinum 204
Handicap 5

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.

West Course - Hole 6

PACE OF PLAY: 1:23 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 456
Blue 437
Silver 392
White 392
Bronze 392
Handicap 3

Ladies Tees
Gold 377
Orange 354
Green 354
Platinum 188
Handicap 3

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.

West Course - Hole 7

PACE OF PLAY: 1:36 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 384
Blue 372
Silver 372
White 372
Bronze 346
Handicap 7

Ladies Tees
Gold 284
Orange 284
Green 245
Platinum 177
Handicap 11

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.

West Course - Hole 8

PACE OF PLAY: 1:50 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 372
Blue 343
Silver 343
White 343
Bronze 306
Handicap 9

Ladies Tees
Gold 283
Orange 247
Green 247
Platinum 200
Handicap 9

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.

West Course - Hole 9

PACE OF PLAY: 2:03 | PAR: 3

Men's Tees
Black 187
Blue 160
Silver 160
White 160
Bronze 121
Handicap 17

Ladies Tees
Gold 104
Orange 104
Green 92
Platinum 92
Handicap 17

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.

West Course - Hole 10

PACE OF PLAY: 2:19 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 408
Blue 377
Silver 349
White 349
Bronze 349
Handicap 10

Ladies Tees
Gold 326
Orange 326
Green 305
Platinum 213
Handicap 6

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.

West Course - Hole 11

PACE OF PLAY: 2:33 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 407
Blue 376
Silver 329
White 329
Bronze 329
Handicap 16

Ladies Tees
Gold 292
Orange 227
Green 227
Platinum 180
Handicap 16

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.

West Course - Hole 12

PACE OF PLAY: 2:47 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 411
Blue 361
Silver 361
White 328
Bronze 328
Handicap 14

Ladies Tees
Gold 293
Orange 293
Green 269
Platinum 205
Handicap 12

Both sides of this straight par 4 are out of bounds. Avoid the fairway bunkers on both sides of the tee shot landing area. Play your approach shot to the right side of the green to take the water on the left out of play.

West Course - Hole 13

PACE OF PLAY: 3:02 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 385
Blue 356
Silver 356
White 325
Bronze 325
Handicap 12

Ladies Tees
Gold 297
Orange 297
Green 273
Platinum 195
Handicap 8

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.

West Course - Hole 14

PACE OF PLAY: 3:18 | PAR: 4

Men's Tees
Black 346
Blue 325
Silver 346
White 296
Bronze 296
Handicap 8

Ladies Tees
Gold 248
Orange 248
Green 224
Platinum 190
Handicap 14

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.

West Course - Hole 15

PACE OF PLAY: 3:33 | PAR: 5

Men's Tees
Black 475
Blue 461
Silver 461
White 426
Bronze 426
Handicap 2

Ladies Tees
Gold 392
Orange 392
Green 366
Platinum 270
Handicap 2

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.

West Course - Hole 16

PACE OF PLAY: 3:47 | PAR: 3

Men's Tees
Black 147
Blue 129
Silver 129
White 114
Bronze 114
Handicap 18

Ladies Tees
Gold 98
Orange 98
Green 86
Platinum 86
Handicap 18

This beautiful par 3 plays over water to a wide, but shallow green. Accurate distance control and proper club selection mean everything on this hole.

West Course - Hole 17

PACE OF PLAY: 4:02 | PAR: 5

Men's Tees
Black 485
Blue 463
Silver 485
White 447
Bronze 447
Handicap 4

Ladies Tees
Gold 427
Orange 410
Green 410
Platinum 237
Handicap 4

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.

West Course - Hole 18

PACE OF PLAY: 4:16 | PAR: 5

Men's Tees
Black 426
Blue 393
Silver 310
White 310
Bronze 310
Handicap 6

Ladies Tees
Gold 310
Orange 310
Green 283
Platinum 210
Handicap 10

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.
