About this course
The Dye Preserve is a Pete Dye design located in Jupiter, Florida, opened in the late 1990s as part of a residential community in northern Palm Beach County. The course occupies land that includes natural Florida scrubland and wetland areas, which Dye incorporated into a layout that emphasizes strategic shot-making over pure length. The routing takes advantage of the property's native vegetation and water features, creating a course that feels more secluded than many South Florida designs despite its proximity to developed areas. Dye's design here includes many of his characteristic elements: railroad ties, pot bunkers, and greens with significant contour and false fronts. The course requires precision with approach shots, as many greens are elevated or protected by water and deep bunkering. Several holes play along or across wetland areas, demanding accurate tee shots to avoid penalty areas. The layout rewards players who can work the ball and think their way around the course rather than simply overpower it. The Dye Preserve Club operates as a private equity club, serving the residential community and a limited membership. The course is less widely known than some of Dye's other Florida work, but it represents his design philosophy of creating challenging, thought-provoking golf on relatively compact acreage. The setting provides a quieter, more natural feel than many courses in the Jupiter area, with mature vegetation and wildlife typical of the region's preserved habitats.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Dye Preserve Club route through Palm Beach International Airport, a straightforward 25-minute drive north along Florida's Atlantic corridor. Private aviation guests often favor Palm Beach International's executive terminals or the nearby North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport, both offering discreet access to Jupiter's rarefied enclave. The final approach trades the coastal bustle of I-95 for the manicured calm of Jupiter's interior, where gated drives and preserved wetlands signal entry into one of South Florida's most guarded golf sanctuaries - a fitting transition to Pete Dye's masterwork carved from native palmetto and pine.
