The Everglades Club is a social club in Palm Beach, Florida. When its construction began in July 1918, it was to be called the Touchstone Convalescent Club, and it was intended to be a hospital for the wounded of World War I. But the war ended a few months later, and it changed into a private club.

The Club has no sign, website, or Wi-Fi. Cell phones are prohibited.

The answer to the nagging question of who was responsible for expansion is Alexander W. MacDougall, the manager of the Everglades at the time the holes were built. He came to the club in 1926 after stints as manager at Olympic Fields Club in Chicago as well as a hotel manager in Massachusetts, and West Virginia among other locations.
