A Career in Sports
Dominik Senn, founder and president of Panther National, is no stranger to competition. A former professional alpine ski racer, Senn’s vision for Panther National draws from his unique background and passion for both sports and luxury living. Panther National, the first modern golf and lifestyle community in Palm Beach County in nearly two decades, epitomizes Senn’s commitment to blending European sophistication with premier American amenities.
“I’m not just developing a typical community,” Senn explained. “I focus on what our future owners and members will truly enjoy. While my personal passions have influenced the vision, I believe our success will stem from offering elite golf, luxury living, and the finest services and amenities.”
His commitment to excellence is evident in every facet of the development. “Being born in Europe, I’m dedicated to merging the best of European luxury with the distinctive American lifestyle,” he added. “I’m fortunate to have access to world-class talent, and that’s what sets Panther National apart from anything else.”
Bringing a Vision to Life
Dominik Senn orchestrated an unprecedented collaboration between two golf icons, Jack Nicklaus and Justin Thomas. Through Senn’s leadership, Nicklaus’s legendary expertise in course design merged with Thomas’s modern insights into the game. The result is a course that pushes the boundaries of traditional design, blending timeless strategy with contemporary innovation.
Jack Nicklaus brought his renowned design philosophy, focusing on strategic challenges that force players to think several moves ahead. His vision includes sweeping bunkers cutting across fairways, demanding precision and an excellent aerial game. Each hole carries Nicklaus’s deep understanding of course design, ensuring every moment on Panther National presents a thoughtful and strategic challenge for golfers.
Justin Thomas, bringing a fresh perspective, added energy and creativity drawn from his mastery of the modern game. His signature bump-and-run shots inspired design elements that reward precision, emphasizing the tactical side of golf. This collaboration marks Thomas’s first exclusive foray into course design, further enhancing his already stellar career.
With Senn at the helm, Panther National has become a unique fusion of tradition and modern innovation. By blending the philosophies of Jack Nicklaus and Justin Thomas, Senn has created a dynamic course that offers golfers of all styles a deeply rewarding experience. This remarkable partnership sets a new standard for golfing excellence, making Panther National a destination for players seeking both challenge and enjoyment.
In Pursuit of Perfection
The course recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. “We evaluated real-world playing conditions and member input to make four major design changes, including multiple bunker replacements. I can confidently say what was a spectacular test of golf is now even more spectacular,” said Senn.
“My home country of Switzerland may be small and landlocked, but it boasts a deep commitment to service. Our clientele is affluent and well-traveled, having experienced the finest and expecting no less. That’s precisely what we deliver,” said Senn. “When the Panther National Clubhouse opens, it will combine world-class architecture and standards with subtle Swiss influences. I see our culture through a unique lens, distinct from traditional golf clubs. My guiding principle is simple: as long as your enjoyment doesn’t impede that of others, have fun! I want you to feel at ease, comfortable in your own skin, and free to be yourself.”
