Old Palm News

With the start of the official season in the Palm Beaches not far off, Old Palm Golf Club has already filled its social calendar with plans for nonstop celebrations, exuberant parties and entertaining activities. Nowhere is this more evident than at the intimate Club at Old Palm. “Our opening weekend dinner dance will kick off what looks to be one of our most exciting seasons yet,” said Darlene Impellittiere, General Manager. “Our members are passionate about this Club and our opening weekend reflects how much there is to do within the community. Besides the dinner dance with live music by the Blonde Ambition Band, Old Palm will host a two-day golf tournament that will surely get a great turnout.” Old Palm is the premier private Club community in the Palm Beaches, yet the atmosphere is anything but stuffy or reserved. Every Wednesday is Pub Night, a casual evening that often spills out onto the Event Lawn for enthusiastic golf-related contests. Other Wednesdays have themes like Ugly Sweater Pub Night, which is expected to draw a light-hearted crowd. During the day, members may be found indulging in spa treatments and working out in the Club’s extraordinary fitness center, where classes range from Pilates to yoga. The Ladies Book Club frequently meets to discuss the latest bestsellers like “The Girl on the Train,” the topic of October’s first meeting. Other members may gather at the Club for lunch before or after a round on Old Palm’s spectacular golf course. That’s the beauty of the Club. It’s a welcome blend of tradition and contemporary luxuries that feels like home, so it’s ideal for all sorts of activities. Designed to mirror the intimate scale of a Palm Beach estate, the Mediterranean-style Club encourages members to mingle in its casual, pleasantly understated atmosphere. “Our members regard the Club as an extension of their homes,” continues Impellittiere. “It is comfortable, inviting and accommodating for their every need. The Club is the perfect venue for any event, including sophisticated affairs, private dining in the cozy Wine Room next to the wine cellar, and fun-filled get-togethers for the whole family.” The holidays are particularly special at the Club, which is always beautifully decorated in accordance with the occasion. This Season’s holiday events include a Halloween costume party, a dinner buffet on Thanksgiving, breakfast with Santa, a Christmas Eve dinner buffet, and a Hanukkah dinner, one of the most anticipated events during the Jewish holidays. Of course, one of the biggest celebrations is New Year’s Eve. This year, the evening will begin with cocktails at the Club, followed by an elegant dinner and dancing to Headliners, the Palm Beaches’ most sought-after live band.
