Designed by architect Dick Wilson with his apprentice Joe Lee, the Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course was built by Michael Phipps and opened in 1961. The course remained in private hands until 1973, when the Town of Palm Beach bought it, making it a municipally owned facility.
In 2009 the layout was renovated and redesigned by Hall of Fame golfer Raymond Floyd, whose stated approach was to work with the existing land so that a course looks natural and fits the surrounding landscape.
