Banyan Cay Resort & Golf
About
Originally opened as the Eagle Course at President Country Club, Banyan Cay Resort & Golf was renovated by Nicklaus design in 2017. The fairways are lined with coquina and pampas grass and there are also water hazards and sand bunkers coming into play throughout. The layout offers interesting par 3s that offer particularly nice scenery and a mix of par 4s that range from having ample room to being very tight and requiring more careful course management. The golf course opens with a risk-reward opportunity, a dogleg-right par 5 with a strategically placed lake.

Average
The course was average. Fairways were dry and getting brown. Sand all over the greens. No discount for this that I know of. Too many other courses to play it again
The course has character
Nice place, course is kept in great condition. You have to place some great drives in order to get on the greens in regulation. Definitely will come back.
Decent Course
Course seems to be a little worn out. It was very windy so the challenges were greater. Greens were in good shape and rolled true but slower than expected. No food service until after 10:00. Will probably not play this course if I am ever in West Palm Beach again.
Starter has no clue
Bad experience from moment I arrived. Poor control by starter. Golf course could be good but wasn't well maintained.
Fun day.
Easy check in. Nice range. Course conditions were good to above average, greens rolled true.
all holes nice
good course. felt very urban as there were high rise buildings everywhere you looked. surrounding neighborhood is frightening
Exeptional for "(in season)" golf
The golf was fun and the course was in great shape for this time of year. It has plenty of challengesfor both the intermediate and accomplished golfer
GReat features
This course was in excellent shape and although challenging it was very fair. Undulating greens were tough but they were in excellent shape also. Really enjoyed the day. I will do it again!

Well maintained course.
A real challenge and the wind made it more fun. Staff is great. Had an amazing day!!
Great course
Great course and the GPS on the cart was fantastic.
The course was in great condition and the greens rolled really smooth.
Will definitely return.
You cannot beat the Golfnow special for the course.
Great golf
Excellent condition, great layout with water on many holes; very interesting layout.
Was a nice course
My brother is a much better player than me, so he loved it, as for the challenge that it is. I lost a few balls mostly from bad shots, but the other 3 players found it a great round of golf. Got clogged up the last few holes and play was slow. After having played the other course many times before it was shut down, for the last few years, i prefer the other one much better but still challenging.
Have a nice day
President CC on Saturday Afternoon
Fairways and greens are rather undulating for a Florida course. Perhaps a lack of rain is making course conditions not as plush as usual.
pleasant surprise
The somewhat dated appearance of the clubhouse/facilities and housing surrounding the course lead to the first impression of old and tired but as we played realized how nice the course layout was and lead to interesting, and challenging holes- with the exception of slow play for the first 8 holes (message finally got to the foursome in front of us to speed up) and then the pace and enjoyment followed. Particularly liked the back 9.

Great value and pace of play
Great experience and value for the cost. Finished our round in 3:40 and staff was friendly. Will definitely look to play the course again when in the area.
A treat in West Palm Beach
I see there is some disagreement among recent reviewers about the condition of the course - I found it to be in excellent shape with the greens running smooth and pretty fast. The landing areas are fairly generous, but there's lots of trouble if you miss them! We went out a 9, and there was no one ahead of us for several holes and we never saw whoever was behind us, so the pace of play was great - well under four hours. Highly recommended.
I Would Return
I enjoyed the round - grouped with 3 others. Having one player familiar with the layout was helpful - a driver is always needed.
good course
This is a solid course with some difficult holes that require good shots. The course is a little tired, prolly because of all the play it gets. Many sets of tees for all skill levels and pace of play was 4 hrs on a busy day which is pretty good. Greens have a lot of slope but medium speed which make them fair.
Would play again
Course was in good shape with good greens. I would play again.
