Singer Island is not a golf community in the traditional sense. It is something better suited to many Palm Beach County buyers: an oceanfront place to live with excellent golf nearby.
For buyers who want beach mornings, Intracoastal views, resort-style condo amenities, and easy access to the courses of North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter, Singer Island offers a compelling lifestyle. From municipal golf with championship design pedigree to resort courses and some of the most storied private clubs in the country, the surrounding area gives Singer Island residents plenty of ways to stay close to the game.
That is one of the quiet advantages of living on Singer Island. The island itself delivers the waterfront lifestyle. The surrounding Palm Beach County corridor delivers the golf.
Why Singer Island Works for Golfers
For many condo buyers, this flexibility is exactly the point. A Singer Island residence lets you live by the ocean without giving up access to the sport. You can play a morning round nearby, spend the afternoon on the beach, and return to a building with concierge service, pools, fitness amenities, valet parking, and water views. It is a different version of the golf lifestyle, one built around access rather than being tied to one specific club community.
This matters especially for seasonal residents and second-home buyers. Many already have club affiliations elsewhere. Others want to enjoy golf casually while spending more time at the beach, boating, dining, or entertaining family. Singer Island gives those buyers a strong coastal base while keeping golf close.
North Palm Beach Country Club
One of the most relevant golf options for Singer Island residents is North Palm Beach Country Club. Located just across the Intracoastal in North Palm Beach, the course is especially notable because it is a Jack Nicklaus Signature design. It is one of only two municipal courses in the United States designed by Jack Nicklaus, with a par-71 layout, rolling fairways, elevation changes, and well-bunkered greens.
That combination makes North Palm Beach Country Club unusually attractive for nearby residents. It offers a serious golf experience without the same barriers associated with many private clubs. For Singer Island condo owners, it can be a practical everyday option: close enough for a regular round, a relaxed lunch, or a golf outing with visiting friends.
The club also has a substantial clubhouse, giving it more of a country club feel than many public-access facilities. For buyers who want Singer Island’s oceanfront setting but still value easy golf access, North Palm Beach Country Club is one of the strongest lifestyle anchors nearby.
PGA National Resort
PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens is one of the best-known golf destinations near Singer Island. The resort has long been associated with championship golf and professional tournament history. PGA National’s member club notes that its courses have been connected to major events including the 1983 Ryder Cup, the 1987 PGA Championship, the PGA Senior Championship for 19 years, and currently the Cognizant Classic.
For Singer Island buyers, PGA National adds another layer to the lifestyle. It is not simply a place to play golf. It is part of the larger luxury infrastructure that makes northern Palm Beach County so appealing. Golf, dining, spa amenities, resort services, and Palm Beach Gardens shopping and restaurants are all within reach.
This is especially useful for seasonal residents. A buyer can own on the beach, enjoy the oceanfront condo lifestyle, and still have access to a well-known golf resort environment nearby. It makes Singer Island feel connected to the broader Palm Beach golf scene rather than separate from it.
Abacoa Golf Club
Abacoa Golf Club in Jupiter gives Singer Island residents another strong public golf option within the northern Palm Beach County corridor. Designed by Joe Lee, its layout reflects the kind of approachable but strategic design that has made many of his Florida courses so enduring. Abacoa describes the course as one of South Florida’s finest public courses, with lakes, bunkers, sloping fairways, and scenic views created by water on 14 of its 18 holes.
For Singer Island buyers, Abacoa is especially useful because it adds variety. It is not a private club environment or a resort course. It is a public course with a championship-caliber feel, real elevation changes by South Florida standards, and a location near Jupiter’s dining, shopping, and lifestyle amenities.
Bear Lakes Country Club
Bear Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach adds a more private, club-oriented option to the golf landscape near Singer Island. Its location is convenient to I-95, downtown West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Island, and Singer Island, which makes it especially relevant for buyers who want oceanfront living but still value access to a full country club environment nearby.
Golf is central to the Bear Lakes experience. The club features two 18-hole courses, including the Jack Nicklaus Signature Lakes Course and the Links Course by Davis Love III, which Bear Lakes describes as inspired by seaside Scottish links golf. The Lakes Course offers bunkering, water features, and multiple tee options, while the club also emphasizes a state-of-the-art practice facility, tennis, dining, and a contemporary clubhouse.
Palm Beach Golf Club
Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course is one of the most distinctive golf experiences near Singer Island. Set between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway on Palm Beach, the course offers 18 par-3 holes ranging from 81 to 211 yards, with three sets of tees on each hole. It also includes a full-length driving range, putting green, practice bunker, pro shop, and a two-story Key West-style clubhouse.
The setting is what makes Palm Beach Par 3 so memorable. It is not simply a short course. It is a coastal golf experience with ocean breezes, water views, and a relaxed Palm Beach atmosphere that pairs naturally with the Singer Island lifestyle. For residents who want a quicker round, a casual outing with guests, or a scenic place to sharpen their short game, it is a particularly appealing nearby option.
A major part of the experience is Al Fresco, the restaurant and bar located on the second level of the clubhouse. Al Fresco describes its patio as one of the only waterfront dining experiences in Palm Beach, with views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and Palm Beach Par 3. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week, with American-Italian cuisine and a setting that makes it as much a lifestyle stop as a post-round convenience.
What Golf Access Adds to Singer Island Real Estate
For real estate buyers, golf access adds another layer of value to Singer Island. The island already has strong lifestyle appeal because of its beaches, oceanfront condos, resort-style amenities, and location between Palm Beach and Jupiter. Nearby golf strengthens that appeal by giving buyers another reason to see Singer Island as a complete luxury destination.
This is especially true for couples and families with different priorities. One person may care most about golf. Another may care more about the beach, boating, dining, or low-maintenance condo living. Singer Island can satisfy both sides of that equation better than many single-purpose communities.
Buying on Singer Island as a Golfer
For golfers considering Singer Island, the key is to think about lifestyle first. The island offers oceanfront living with golf close by, not a golf community with the ocean somewhere in the distance. That is exactly why many buyers find it appealing.
