Bear Lakes Country Club occupies a prominent place in the West Palm Beach golf landscape, and its name carries genuine weight in South Florida private club circles. The club features 2 distinct 18-hole courses — the Lakes and the Links — both designed by Jack Nicklaus, whose Golden Bear imprint is woven into the property's identity and its name. The layout rewards strategic thinking over raw power, with water coming into play on a significant number of holes, as you'd expect from a Nicklaus design in the Florida flatlands.
West Palm Beach sits at the heart of one of the densest concentrations of quality golf in the country, with Palm Beach County hosting dozens of private and resort courses across its sun-baked terrain. Bear Lakes fits comfortably among the upper tier of that field — a serious members' club rather than a resort-style experience, with the grooming standards and competitive culture that serious golfers seek out.
For visiting players lucky enough to secure a game here, the setting delivers classic South Florida golf: open skies, subtropical vegetation, and the ever-present threat of water that turns a casual round into a genuine test of course management.
