About Our Golf and Country Clubs

Please take a moment to read about some of the finest golf communities in North Palm Beach County and adjacent Martin County. You will also find a link to view properties available for sale in each community. But looking beyond the beautiful golf courses and large selection of luxury homes there are many other benefits of the Florida life style on the “Treasure Coast.”

Jupiter is a small beach town where the casual pace of “old Florida” meets the sophistication of Palm Beach. Jupiter Island is the crown jewel of the Treasure Coast and the town takes pride in its natural setting and unique history. The redbrick Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, built in 1860, is the oldest structure in Palm Beach County. But far older is the tropical Florida where you can enjoy a canoe or kayak tour along the Loxahatchee River that is populated with all kinds of wildlife.

The Palm Beaches are home to a performing arts scene focused around the Kravis Center; and to more than 40 museums, including Whitehall, railroad magnate Henry Flagler’s Gilded Age Estate; the Norton Museum of Art; and the Morikame Museum and Japanese Gardens. And last but not least there is Worth Avenue, home of fine boutiques, galleries and stores including Cartier, Chanel, Gucci and Tiffany.

Abacoa Golf Club

The 18-hole championship golf course, designed by renowned golf course architect Joe Lee, opened in October of 1999. Lush, rolling fairways weave throughout undulated landscape, which is surrounded by serene lakes and native vegetation. It is one of the area's most challenging public courses, as well as a great value. A design characteristic setting Abacoa Golf Club apart from so many other South Florida golf courses is its flowing elevation changes. Some elevation features may vary from 30 to 40 ft., which offer scenic views of Abacoa's Florida Atlantic University and Scripps Biological Research Facility, while creating exciting golf shots. In typical Joe Lee style, the course's lakes and bunkers meet its sloping fairways with little obstruction, offering a course that is both challenging but fair to golfers of all playing abilities. Abacoa features Tif Eagle grass greens producing the highest quality putting surfaces in the south, year round.

Jonathan's Landing is a gated community with 1,237 residences, which include single family homes, townhomes and condos from the mid $300s to over $3 million highlighted by Intracoastal Waterway estates. The first course to open at Jonathan's Landing is sometimes called the "In Town" course by designer Tom Fazio. This course is located amongst homes, lakes and waterways. It is probably the only course in the country with a ferryboat. The ferryboat accommodates two golf carts and is used to cross a salt water boating channel leading to the Intracoastal Waterway. The "In Town" course is the most used at Jonathan's Landing and may be the most difficult with its small, fast greens. Just a few minutes away at Jonathan's Landing Old Trail, is a second course by Tom Fazio and another course by Arthur Hills. Tom Fazio's course has been described as spectacular. Each fairway meanders around shimmering lakes, serene wetlands and towering pines. Dramatic contouring adds to the incredible variety of play that is a Fazio tradition. And just one solitary road (Clubhouse Drive) separates the front nine from the back. So, only nature's pristine beauty might distract you from your game. The Arthur Hills' course is the perfect balance with the Fazio courses. Hills designed a course truly worthy of such a magnificent setting, with even the short holes providing a stimulating challenge. The natural beauty of the cypress hammocks and towering stands of pine remain unblemished. What's more, neither roads nor residential development are within the course, a feature offered by few, if any, South Florida courses.

"My concept was to make the Turtle Creek course enjoyable for golfers of all handicaps. It is a marvelous experience for the serious shot maker and equally challenging and fair for the average player. Its traditional design includes treel lined fairways, subtle undulating greens, and beautiful greenside bunkers. I wanted the course to be fun and a pleasure no matter how many times you played it."
