The historical Ocean Course at the Breakers in Palm Beach has
reopened following a renovation. The course, originally laid out in 1897
by Alexander Findlay and redesigned in 2000 by Brian Silva, was
refreshed by golf architect Rees Jones to modernize and improve the
playability of the course and to elevate the challenge for players while
maintaining its character.
The new makeover includes new green complexes, new salt-tolerant
grass in turf areas, upgraded irrigation, new water features and
additional native landscaping. The John Webster Golf Academy building
has more than doubled in size following the renovation, now featuring
two teaching bays and a new putting studio.
The 18-hole course is a traditional complement to the modern Breakers
Rees Jones Course, just 10 miles from the hotel. Both courses are
exclusive to guests and club members of the Breakers Palm Beach.
