After many months of growing anticipation, Tesoro Club just north of The Palm Beaches has reopened the first of two championship courses, the Palmer Course, on November 30th to rave reviews. This haven for avid golfers that once hosted the 2007 PGA Tour Ginn Sur Mer Classic is already reinstating its position as a destination for PGA-level play by hosting two tour qualifying events. The Astara Golf Championship Qualifier for the 2023 PGA Korn Ferry Tour was held on January 25th, and the Honda Classic Qualifier is scheduled for later this month.
With championship golfers and social beginners hitting the links once again, golfers agree that every hole within this par-72 course is a walk through a picturesque natural setting. Tesoro Club’s Head Golf Professional Matthew Doyle, a PGA Class “A” member and award-winning pro since 1997, and Assistant PGA Golf Professional Spencer Rinaldi agree that the par threes are truly something special. “The par threes are the real ‘show ponies’ of our course,” shared Matthew Doyle. “Each is spectacular and unique, with different settings that will have golfers staring in amazement at its beauty.” Let’s hear their perspectives on what makes each of these par threes special.
Hole Four
As golfers pull up to the tee box on hole number four, they will find a beautiful waterfall feature that runs the entire length of the tee boxes, creating a serene setting for a great shot. A series of stacked bunkers not only create a unique layered effect, but tests golfers’ skills as they aim to avoid them. This par-three hole plays from 92 yards at the most forward tee to 222 yards at the championship tee.
“It’s a very aesthetically pleasing hole, especially with the stacked bunkering Tesoro Club used,” shared Rinaldi. “You don’t see that kind of bunkering often in Florida golf courses.”
Hole Six
Even though hole number six is a longer par three, playing between 142 and 231 yards, extended waterfront views make it enjoyable for all players. The marshland guards the front of the green, while swaying palms and flowering landscapes masterfully frame the hole’s layout.
“On hole number six, the view of the waterway extends all the way down to the bridge on number two,” said Doyle. “It’s such a beautiful natural area that you almost don’t even look at the hole.”
Hole Twelve
The twelfth hole is distinguished from the other par threes with its pine forest setting. Playing from 89 to 214 yards, the course is tree-lined off the tee, with luscious landscaping providing a scenic yet challenging round. As golfers approach the greens, a rock wall with waterfalls extending a hundred yards deep provides a scenic backdrop to chase birdies.
“The 12th hole is hands down the most attractive on the Palmer Course,” shared Rinaldi. “The landscaping, the flowers, and the waterfalls all frame the hole well from the tee box to the greens.”
Hole Seventeen
Whether standing on the tee box or the green, hole number 17 is known for its infinite views of the water. Not only does the iconic landmark Clubhouse begin to come into view, but the hole is framed along Tesoro Club’s large freshwater lake, providing views of the water that extend as far as the eye can see. The 17th hole is also the largest of the par threes, playing from 100 to 225 yards.
“The 17th hole is personally my favorite on the course,” shared Doyle. “It’s just a unique piece of property with spectacular views of the green surrounded by white sand, the coquina, and crushed concrete.”

After an extensive 18-month renovation, Full Golf Members are now enjoying unlimited play on the new Arnold Palmer Course.
