“The layout moves in all directions, so the wind from the ocean will impact you in multiple ways. While the yardage is short on several holes, there is elevation change, sea level and wind to contend with that makes the course play longer.”

Seminole is only open for a 5-6 month period of time and as I understand it most of the members live outside of Florida during the summer. This leaves me once again searching nationwide for the proverbial snowball in a snowstorm. Guest play at Seminole must be accompanied by a member.
Past members include the Duke of Windsor, Henry Ford II, Jack Chrysler, Joe Kennedy, Pete Dye; current ones include Michael Bloomberg, USGA chief Mike Davis, PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh, Rees Jones and a new member – of the club and of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—Tom Brady.
What makes Seminole so great? Al Jamieson (Panelist since 2013; has played 60 of the World Top 100): Obviously, its history, privacy and culture greatly enhance a classic Golden Age course. It's a very enjoyable member's course while presenting a good test to the very skilled, especially in the wind.
According to Golf Week, there are a few ways to play at the course. And getting invited by a member is one of them. However, despite being a 5-time champion at the Masters, Tiger Woods doesn't have a membership at the Augusta.
There are roughly 300 members of Augusta National, and being invited by one of them is the quickest way to get a round in at the famous course. Members are allowed to bring a guest on the course for a relatively small fee of $40.
Augusta National Golf Club The home of the Masters, Augusta National was voted the PGA Tour's best course in a “Golf Digest” poll of tour players in 2012. After legendary amateur golfer Bobby Jones retired from the sport in 1930, his first golf-related project was to build a course in Augusta.
Course rating. 75.4. Slope rating. 144. Seminole Golf Club is a private golf club in the southeastern United States, located in North Palm Beach, Florida. Designed by Donald Ross in 1929, it is consistently ranked as one of the top 100 courses in the nation.
The layout occupies a flat-bottomed bowl set between a high ridge of dunes to the west and the dunes along the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
Situated on the Atlantic side of Florida’s coastline, Seminole Golf Club is considered by critics to be one of the finest examples of golf course routing. With small greens and serious trouble lurking beyond the flagstick, this is not a course to attack.
I first played Seminole in Juno Beach, Florida in the mid 1970s when it was rated as one of the very best courses in the world. Sadly, I did not feel the excitement then and in subsequent visits. It was a good course, but not in my top echelon. However, the total experience at Seminole is always top notch.
Seventeen is the final par 3 playing parallel to the beach. One could argue this is the best par 3 on the golf course playing over waste area with eight bunkers surrounding the green. It is an excellent par 3. Eighteen is a dogleg left to a large fairway with waste area and bunkers down the left side.
If you miss the fairway on some holes, such as the sixth, one is likely to end up in a footprint in the waste area and you simply have to get back to the fairway and not be greedy. In essence, Seminole has all of the attributes of a great course. It requires a deft, soft touch around the magnificent green complexes.
The par 4 6th is purported to have been Ben Hogan’s favorite golf course in the world. Ben should know, he would come to Seminole to practice before playing in The Masters. There is OB right and the preferred ball flight is a draw off the tee and a fade into the green.
One could argue that Pinehurst #2 is no longer a Donald Ross after the Bill Coore/Ben Crenshaw refurbishment, which would put Seminole back at the top of the Ross designed courses. It is a close debate either way. I was eager to see Seminole after the Bill Coore/Ben Crenshaw refurbishment.

Seminole is considered Donald Ross’ masterpiece. Although Pinehurst No. 2 is more well-known because of the various championships it has hosted over the years, Seminole is also in the top tier of Donald Ross designs. Seminole’s defense doesn’t come from gnarly rough or outrageous length or wacky weather conditions.
