Overview
Loxahatchee was a product of its time when it opened in the 1980s. Jack Nicklaus studded it with "Scottish" chocolate-drop mounding around greens and fairways that was all the rage as architects began riffing on the shapes Pete Dye was building. That kind of thing soon went out of style, and most of those features have since been removed from Loxahatchee. What's left behind is less dated but nevertheless a quintessentially Florida 1980s-style penal design with 14 holes that have water in play, including the possibility of rinsing your ball hitting into at least 11 greens.

“I love Loxahatchee, I think it’s a wonderful place and a community that many have been modeled after. It’s tough to have a tremendous amount of character in Florida but Loxahatchee has it for a golf course that has homes on it. The courses have distinct lines and the holes are pretty memorable. It’s one of Jack Nicklaus’ better courses"

“The course was in excellent condition. The greens were rolling extremely well and the fairways had a lot of run. From the first tee to the 18th green, the course just flowed together. No two holes were remotely similar. Par 5s of had different strategic requirements, contrasted by the par 4s that varied from short and target golf-like, to long with trouble everywhere. It is a very fair test, as many of the greens have subtle movements, but get out of position off the tee and salvaging par is a tough task. The holes with severe slope around the greens had more lenient tee shots. It is one of the better Nicklaus designed courses in my opinion."
