Here's the straight answer: Palm Beach National doesn't publish a fixed green fee chart. Rates are dynamic — they move with season, day of week, and tee-time slot — and the lowest confirmed number on the official site is $19 per round, available to Smash Pass members through the Sunset Golf Program. Everyone else pays the live rate quoted at booking.
That's the honest version. No secret rack rate. No hidden fee schedule. Just real-time pricing that reflects demand, plus one membership product that unlocks the floor rate. Below is what that means for you before you book.
How much does it cost to play Palm Beach National in 2026?
The lowest published rate at Palm Beach National is $19 per round through the Sunset Golf Program, available to Smash Pass members (membership runs $29 per month). Standard green fees are not posted on palmbeachnational.com — they're dynamic, changing by season, day, and tee slot. You'll see the live price when you pick your time.
If you're used to courses that print a tidy weekday/weekend rate grid, this will feel different. Dynamic pricing is now the norm at a lot of South Florida tee sheets, and we lean into it because it rewards flexibility. Early birds, twilight players, and shoulder-season visitors almost always pay less than a Saturday morning tee time in peak snowbird season.
Why doesn't Palm Beach National publish a flat green fee?
Palm Beach National uses dynamic tee-time pricing, meaning the posted rate varies by season, day of week, and time of day. Instead of a static sheet, the site shows the live price for each available slot when you go to book. That's why there's no master green-fee chart on palmbeachnational.com — the chart would be out of date within hours.
In Palm Beach County, demand swings hard. From roughly November through April, snowbird season packs weekend mornings and pushes prices up. Through the summer humidity and the heart of hurricane season, afternoons quiet down and rates soften. The booking engine reflects that — so the same tee time in July looks very different from the same tee time in February.
What drives your green fee up or down
- Season. Peak winter months carry the highest rates; summer and early fall are the softest.
- Day of week. Saturday and Sunday mornings price above weekday mornings.
- Tee slot. Prime morning times cost more than mid-day or sunset rounds.
- Lead time. Last-minute openings sometimes drop; prime weekend slots fill fast in season.
What is the Smash Pass and is it worth it?
The Smash Pass is a $29 per month membership at Palm Beach National that unlocks the Sunset Golf Program (rounds as low as $19), one free hour of Inrange driving range use every day, $3–$4 off buckets of balls every day, $6–$8 off buckets Monday–Thursday from open to 3 p.m., and $1 off entrees and alcoholic beverages at the restaurant.
Rough math: if you play one Sunset round and hit range balls a couple of times in a month, the pass has already paid for itself. If you're a regular — someone who swings by after work to figure out what's going on with a particular iron — it's not a close call. According to palmbeachnational.com, the pass also stacks with PBN Card golf rates, so it layers on top of other member pricing rather than replacing it.

When should you book to get the best price?
The cheapest confirmed rate at Palm Beach National is the $19 Sunset Golf Program round through the Smash Pass. Beyond that, weekday tee times outside the November–April snowbird peak price lower than weekend mornings in winter. Summer afternoons, after the heat and before the typical afternoon storm cell, are the softest window on the live booking engine.
If you're visiting Palm Beach Gardens from out of town, booking a shoulder-season round (think October or May) gets you closer to the floor rate than a January Saturday ever will. If you live here, the Smash Pass combined with the Sunset Program is the shortest path to consistently affordable golf.
What do you get for the money at Palm Beach National?
Palm Beach National is an 18-hole championship course designed by Joe Lee, featuring TifEagle greens, with a driving range powered by Inrange Technology. The clubhouse includes the Smashers bar and grill, open every day from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The course is pitched as a no-strict-dress-codes, no-hushed-tones, no-pressure-to-be-perfect kind of place.
Translation: you're paying for real championship architecture and legit greens, not a stuffy environment. The Inrange tech on the range lets you track distances and challenge friends — handy if you're warming up before a round or working through a swing fix on your own time.
What people are saying
The Nash sent us a flyer a while back inviting us to try the new restaurant after the remodel, and my husband suggested we meet there for dinner last night. Overall, we had a good dinner. The place was fairly busy, with a lot of people out on the driving range. We sat at the bar and ordered sandwiches. I had the chicken Caesar wrap, and we also ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. I had iced tea, while my husband ordered a Copperpoint beer. The bartender was nice and attentive. I had originally wanted a Coke Zero, but they only offer bottled Coke Zero and don't have it on the fountain. I ended up getting iced tea instead, but unfortunately, it came from a fountain machine rather than being freshly brewed, and I didn't think it was very good. The sandwiches came out quickly, and the food was delicious and fresh. We really enjoyed both wraps. We also asked about happy hour, but they don't really have a traditional happy hour--just a few discounted items. Overall, it was a good dinner, and we enjoyed our experience. We'll definitely be back!
How does the price compare to booking through a third-party site?
Booking directly at palmbeachnational.com shows you the live rate for every available slot and keeps you eligible for Smash Pass pricing, Sunset Golf Program access, and PBN Card rates. Third-party tee-time marketplaces may list the course, but they can't apply member pricing and don't surface the Sunset floor rate. The direct booking path is where the lowest confirmed numbers live.

The course and bar are open every day from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., with hours that may vary based on daily sunrise. The Smashers bar and grill keeps the same schedule — 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week — so pre-round coffee and post-round drinks are both covered.
Is there a free program for junior golfers?

When is the cheapest time of year to play in Palm Beach Gardens?
Rates are typically softest outside the November–April snowbird peak. Summer and early fall see lower demand on South Florida tee sheets, especially mid-day and twilight slots, which is reflected in dynamic pricing. Booking in shoulder months like October or May tends to put you closer to the floor rate than a January weekend morning will.
Can I book Palm Beach National for a group or event?
Yes. Palm Beach National hosts corporate, birthday, and charity golf events and offers flexible packages for any size group. Group pricing isn't published as a fixed figure because it's built around the date, group size, and format, so direct contact with the club is the way to get an accurate quote.
The bottom line before you book
If you want the floor rate, the Smash Pass plus the Sunset Golf Program is the shortest path there — $29 per month unlocks $19 rounds, free range time, and bucket discounts you'll use every visit. If you're playing once, book directly on our site to see the live rate for the slot you want, and consider a weekday or shoulder-season tee time over a peak winter Saturday.
Either way, you're playing an 18-hole Joe Lee design with TifEagle greens and no stuffy clubhouse energy. Ready to lock in a time or ask about group pricing?
