Cutter Sound at Palm Cove Golf & Yacht Club

Cutter Sound at Palm Cove Golf & Yacht Club is a Gary Player design situated in Palm City, Florida, along the banks of the St. Lucie River in Martin County. The course occupies a scenic stretch of Florida's Treasure Coast, where the natural waterways and subtropical landscape provide both strategic interest and visual character. Player's routing takes advantage of the property's water features and native vegetation, incorporating the river and internal lakes into the design while working with the region's characteristically modest elevation changes.

The layout reflects Player's approach to Florida golf design, balancing playability with strategic options and emphasizing course management over pure length. Water comes into play on multiple holes, and the design incorporates waste areas and bunkers that frame landing zones and greens. The conditioning and presentation align with the standards typical of private yacht and golf clubs in this part of Florida, where boating and waterfront amenities complement the golf experience.

Palm Cove functions as a private club serving residents and members in the Palm City area, part of the broader network of golf communities along Florida's east coast between West Palm Beach and Stuart. The club's yacht facilities reflect the region's strong connection to both freshwater and ocean boating, with the St. Lucie River providing access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic. The course serves as the centerpiece of a residential community where golf and water-based recreation intersect.
