Overview

Puerto Rican native Chi Chi Rodriguez once dueled Lee Trevino on this club’s Palm course in a Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf televised match. The course was built in 1974 by American architect Ron Kirby, who was working with Gary Player at the time. It’s a fairly tight course that alternates between jungle cover and resort development near the eastern coast of the island. Rees Jones built a second course for the club in 1999, then remodeled the Palm, building several new holes in the process.
