FAIRWINDS GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Fort Pierce, FL, USA
Designed by Jim Fazio




Fairwinds Golf Course in Fort Pierce operates as a public facility on Florida's Treasure Coast, designed by Jim Fazio and opened in the late 1980s. The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of this coastal region, with routing that incorporates native Florida vegetation, water features, and strategic bunkering typical of Fazio's approach to accessible resort-style golf. The layout provides a straightforward test for recreational players while maintaining enough variety to hold local interest.
The design works within the constraints of South Florida topography, using water hazards as both strategic elements and natural drainage features. Several holes play alongside or across ponds and wetland areas, requiring accurate shot placement on approach shots. The course features Bermuda grass fairways and greens suited to the subtropical climate, with palm trees and native scrub defining hole corridors.
Fairwinds serves primarily as a daily-fee option for Fort Pierce residents and visitors to the St. Lucie County area. The facility includes standard practice amenities and operates year-round, benefiting from Florida's temperate winters. Its location places it within the broader network of public and semi-private courses serving golfers along the Atlantic coast between West Palm Beach and Vero Beach, offering a moderately priced alternative to higher-end resort properties in the region.
