Bear Lakes Country Club (Lakes)

Overview: The Lakes Course at Bear Lakes Country Club is a private Jack Nicklaus design in West Palm Beach. At 7,439 yards from the back tees, the course brings water, bunkers, undulating greens, and five teeing positions to create a strategic parkland course.

History: Bear Lakes’ official golf material dates the Lakes Course to 1984 and identifies Jack Nicklaus as its designer. The course was later renovated in 2003, and the club notes that the work was recognized by Golf Digest in its remodeled-course coverage.

Did You Know? The Lakes Course has been used for high-level qualifying golf, including U.S. Open qualifying and PGA Tour qualifying-school events. Those competitions reflect the course’s championship-scale back-tee length and testing green complexes.
