Jack Nicklaus is already synonymous with South Florida golf. In addition to becoming one of the first professional golfers to call the area home, he has put his name behind many golf courses in the area with his design firm. The list of golf courses that he has had a hand in working on is about to grow as well thanks to a new golf community currently in the works.

The Avenir development is currently being built in the Palm Beach Gardens area on western Northlake Blvd, and Nicklaus and his design firm, Nicklaus Design, has bee picked to design the golf course that will be a centerpiece of the new community.

Nicklaus will not only be designing the new 18-hole championship golf course that will be located on the northwest portion of the sprawling development, but he will also be designing a 9-hole, par-3 short course as well as state-of-the-art training and practice facility. 

Nicklaus has designed over 300 golf courses throughout the country. Locally, he has redesigned the course at North Palm Country Club as well as the Champion Course at PGA National, home to the Honda Classic. Construction on the newest course is expected to begin in early 2021 and will take around 18 months to complete.

The golf course will be a part of the Panther National Golf Club inside the community. In addition to the golf course and training facility, the club will also include a Health & Lifestyle Club with premium dining, spa, athletic club, and 10-acre Crystal Lagoon. The community will feature 459 luxury single-family homes.
