The Club At Ibis: Legend Course
8225 Ibis Blvd
West Palm Beach, FL 33412-1575
United States
Overview
Located in West Palm Beach, the Club at Ibis is home to three Nicklaus family-designed golf courses. The championship-style Legends course opened in 1991 and was designed by Jack, who set out wide, sprawling fairways dotted with deep bunkers and lined with snaking water hazards. In classic Nicklaus fashion, risk-reward opportunities off the tee are plentiful, and greens often require precise angles if one wants to attack difficult pin placements. Greens are large but vary in character and size with most surrounded by tightly mown runoff areas that require creativity in one's short game. In 2017, Nicklaus returned to complete an extensive renovation focused on adding length, a new irrigation system, as well as re-grassing fairways and re-contouring greens.

Review
“Wonderful variety of holes with the risk/reward par 5 11th, the heroic island green 13th. Wide landing areas, multiple ways to play every hole, all with some elevation changes not typical of South Florida courses."

Review
“Generous landing areas off the tee. Most par 4’s had a bunker or complex of bunkers in the middle of the fairway. This does give the player plenty of shot options off the tee. The course was very green, but limited roll and although the greens were true, had the give it a good stroke in order to get the ball to the hole. Most greens were slightly elevated from the fairway with a slope off to one side or the other down into a collection area. Although water is throughout the course, it only comes into play on a few holes, aside from the par-3 island green."

“One of 3 private course built by Nicklaus family. Good members course, flat, but typical south FL layout."

Review
“Beautiful and exceptionally well maintained course that can be played and enjoyed by players of all abilities. Not a severe test for low handicap players, but hardly a pushover. Spectacular array of plants and trees add to the pleasure of the experience, as does the extremely attentive staff, which showed up with offers of cold towels regularly during the round."
