Frenchman’s Creek Beach & Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens Florida is a private club that does not leave their members wanting; for anything. It’s a “mandatory membership” community, meaning when you buy a home inside the gates, you are required to become a member. And, as you would expect, membership does indeed have its privileges.At Frenchman’s Creek, you’ll never have to cook breakfast again! Every morning of the year, members can enjoy a buffet-style breakfast that includes a wide assortment of breads, fresh fruits, pastries, cereals, and hot items as well as coffees, teas and espressos. It’s one of the healthiest breakfast buffets I’ve ever seen! Lunch is also served in a unique way. Regardless of what your heart desires, from a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with chips on the side to filet mignon, medium rare with a backed potato and side salad, it’s all the same price: $16.00.Everyone’s heard the saying “service with a smile.” It’s more or less the mantra of the service industry and the benchmark that companies within the industry strive for, and very few achieve. That is not the case with Frenchman’s Creek. They not only achieve it, they surpass it.I think a lot of this has to do with the people they hire; many are young adults from countries all over the world. They are here for a year, to learn the hospitality industry and see if they want to make a career of it. I met workers in Food and Beverage that had come over on a 1-year visa 20 years ago and are still at Frenchman’s Creek Beach & Country Club.Frenchman’s Creek is home to two championship golf courses. Both courses are immaculately manicured and challenging for all levels of golfers. Each course has its own unique style and flow; creeks and lakes intertwine with the native landscaping and wildlife and deliver a wide variety of challenging holes.The South Course is a Bob Cupp design that utilizes 7 sets of tees. The signature hole is the par three 9th which can play anywhere between 80 – 184 yards. It’ plays over water to a peninsular, gradually sloping green with the clubhouse serving as the backdrop. There’s not a lot of bail out room to the left or right and if you hit it short over the water, you may very well find sand. Front right, back left and back right pin positions offer your best chance at par or better.The North course was designed by Jim Fazio and also offers seven sets of tees. For men, the number 1 handicap hole is the par 5 12th, which is a severe dogleg left and plays 514 yards from the Blue Tees. This hole requires a precarious tee shot over and around water.. The second shot is all about position and need to be hit straight and long enough to set up a short iron approach into a long narrow green. The green itself is fairly steep back to front and can make for some interesting putts should you find yourself above the hole.Frenchman’s Creek’s tennis facility includes 16 Har-Tru tennis courts, 9 of which are lighted for evening play. There are also pickleball and bocce courts. Frenchmans Creek is the first club in South Florida to play pickleball on a Har-Tru surface, creating a similar feel to tennis.In 1986, a parcel of oceanfront property was purchased directly adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and the Beach Club was built. It’s located about 5 miles east of the community’s front gates and offers direct access to the aquamarine waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The Beach Club’s staff places lounge chairs and umbrellas directly on the sand for your relaxation and pleasure. They also offer pool side, beach and full cabana service. Inside the front door is the Beach Club’s first-class restaurant, a well-appointed and spacious room with plenty of seating. The bar is stocked with top shelf, ultra premium liquors and your favorite glass of wine can be ordered by the glass or by the bottle. A lot of the seafood and fish is locally caught and much of the produce is locally grown.
Brunch/lunch meeting in the semi-private space. The menu will have you wanting EVERYTHING! Very reasonably priced. Service was great considering size of the group. I had the salmon sandwich with salad and was very pleased. The sorbet was refreshing light dessert and the mimosas were delicious too. Can’t wait for the next meeting!!!
Great course. Kept in great condition. Love playing there. Cant wait for it to grow in like some of the nice, much older courses.
Built many homes in this community. Your welcome.
One of the exclusive Country Club in Jupiter. They service its outstanding and food is marvelous, The General Manager and the team are welcoming friendly people I ever met in my whole life. One of the work places one will wish to work at.
Too bad its a private golf course. Played there as a guest and it is a world class facility.
Had a fabulous brunch here compliments of my boss who lives here. The food was so good and fresh. The champagne with blackberry liquor was to die for. Never had it before now thats my go to.
This is a beautiful community! From the second you pull in and see the beautiful fountain and topiary, to the top of the line security, you know youre about to enter a magnificent, safe place. All the houses are top of the line, the on site golf course and driving range is a wonderful site to see and place to play. The cub house is always a perfect place to bring your family and friends with all the brunches being hosted on holidays. When parks is open its a more private small party eatery but never falling short of being just as enjoyable as the clubhouse. All the staff are very kind and address you by name with personal table visits from the owner every visit. Theres so other place I would consider living or even visiting if given the opportunity!
Gorgeous gold club, beautiful inside & out, great food especially with amazing company !
Great club. Food is great. Course is immaculate.
Super good service and the food is delicious!
Went to use the facilities for a presentation...the staff was great. The management not so much. The presentation equipment and screens were poor.
Its beautiful and wonderful place and good service
Perfect place. They treat guests like royalty. Go. You will love it.
A beautiful place to live with a wonderful golf course

Beautiful and the service was impeccable.
Frenchman’s Creek is beautiful and impeccable maintained. The service is flawless, the facilities are beautiful, the buffet is expansive, and the staff is great. The club features a beautiful gym and pool. The fitness classes are fantastic. Also they have a beautiful Himalayan salt room.
I’ve played these courses a lot. The facilities at Frenchmans Creek are 1st rate. Rocco is one of the best pros I’ve ever met in this industry. Shot 68 on the south course. Best round to date
The members and staff are some of the friendliest and most inspiring people I have ever met. From the moment you walk through the door you are greeted by smiling faces both from the members and staff a like. Five stars for both service and experience.
Nice spot to live and own a home! The area is nothing less than terrific close to everything Beach, highways etc....!
I have lived at Frenchmans for 15+ years. It is the greatest experience imaginable for retirement enjoyment. Wonderful people, accommodating, efficient and knowledgeable staff, first class facilities and a welcoming atmosphere.
Absolutely a wonderful community. The golf courses are wonderful, the amenities great, people awesome plus we have a beach. It is a small community where people truly say hello to each other.
Great private club. Awesome food and service . Have been a guest of a member for several years . We love the beach club area very much.
Millionaires charging people that can barely make ends meet. Stay charged construction workers $35 to work on the property for a one year pass. So if anybody calls you for an estimate on that job take that into your bill, to make the homeowners pay for it. They are a bunch of scam artists
When it comes to being fancy this place does not play around. They take there Golf and meals seriously
My husband and I moved to FCCC in 1993 after inspecting many similar facilities. As my husband said when we were looking “If you can’t be happy at any one of these places there is something wrong with you”. The reason we chose FCCC was it seemed to be head and shoulders above all the other clubs starting with the choice and selection of homes. That had a lot to do with our choice initially, however we had no idea what awaited us in terms of the club itself. We were not golfers so the courses, as beautiful as they are, was not a real draw. The beach club was such a plus that no one else could offer. The original fitness center and club house are nothing compared to what they became. We didn’t realize the vision the General Manager would bring with him and how everything just kept getting better. What became such a joy was the staff……from all over the world! We treasure these wonderful young people who make our life so special with their caring ways. Plus we have met many of their families when they come to visit their children and they have been a delightful addition to our lives. We feel so fortunate to have made such a good decision and every day are grateful for being so lucky.
The place is beautiful.The plants are amazing.Very nice people.
Very nice people, and very nice place
This is one poorly managed hotel. They dont take care of their staff who offer bad service. Also their club is one Den of immorality.
Was here for my employee Christmas party. Stunning country club,very beautiful inside and out and the food was tremendous
Frenchmans Creek has two excellent golf courses that suit all skill levels Caddies are available and they are excellent. A great golf experience!
Quite possibly one of the most elegant country clubs in Florida. The well staffed concierge service is like being on a cruise ship.
An absolute spot of mine
Kinda boring but not the worst place in the world
We were guests for dinner in The Grill and thought it was terrific..........down to staff taking a group picture and giving a copy to each along with a bottle of wine with a copy of the picture on the label as we were leaving.
I love this community. I went to a beach cleanup at their beach club and the food was amazing!
We were at Frenchmans Creek for a wedding. What a venue and what an event!
Do not live there. The building itself may be alright, but theyre tied into a 10 year contract with Hotwire Communications. Theyre service is the worst! I would know-- I worked there. I was there for 3 months and fired for pointing out that Hotwires network drops customers public IP address constantly. No public IP = No internet. Thats right. Youll be left with no internet connection for 5-10 minutes at a time, consistently. FYI: Im no rookie. Spent the 4 years prior to Hotwire at AT&T. I got some clue.. Whatever you do: DO NOT MOVE INTO ANY COMMUNITY WITH HOTWIRE COMMUNICATIONS AS THE PROVIDER. Youll be stuck with crappy service for years...
Beautiful place
Great staff, always there to help you with anything, great food, and really great facilities.
mind your manners is what comes to mind.
