Boca West Country Club (Palmer III)

Overview: Palmer III is Arnold Palmer’s second course at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton. The private 18-hole layout is listed at 6,449 yards and uses six tee sets, gently sloping greens, bunkers, and alternate strategic routes that can make the same hole feel very different from one round to the next.

History: Boca West identifies Palmer III as opening in 1999. The course is part of the club’s four-course golf campus, alongside Palmer I, Jim Fazio’s Fazio II, and Pete Dye’s Dye IV.

Did You Know? Palmer III is built around a dual-approach idea: several holes offer a more direct route and a risk-reward alternative. That choice-based architecture is why the course is often described as requiring every club in the bag.
