About this course
Jupiter Hills Club's Hills Course, carved into the rolling terrain of Tequesta, Florida, stands as a testament to the enduring challenge of strategic shot-making over raw power. This is a thinking man's course, rewarding meticulous planning and precise execution. Designed by George Fazio and his nephew Tom Fazio in the late 1960s, the Hills Course presents a classic example of modern design principles melded with the natural contours of the landscape. Unlike its Village counterpart, which favors a more open and forgiving layout, the Hills Course demands careful navigation through tight corridors of native scrub and strategically placed bunkers. The course has a reputation for its subtle but significant elevation changes, a rarity in South Florida, adding a unique dimension to club selection and approach shots. While not a regular stop on the professional tour, the Hills Course has played host to significant amateur events, providing a stern test for the game's future stars. Members here value the intellectual challenge presented by each round, often engaging in spirited post-round discussions dissecting the day's successes and failures over the Club’s renowned seafood buffet. The Hills Course isn't just a golf course; it's a battle of wits against a formidable, yet beautiful, adversary.

Getting there
Jupiter Hills Club is most readily accessed via Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), situated approximately 25 miles south, a drive of roughly 45 minutes through the manicured communities and coastal corridors of South Florida's Gold Coast. For those arriving by private aircraft, nearby North Palm Beach Airport (PBI's quieter counterpart) and the more exclusive facilities at Stuart Airport (SUA) to the north offer seamless alternatives, each within 20 minutes of the club. The final approach winds through Jupiter's verdant residential enclaves, where the landscape shifts from the bustle of the interstate to tree-lined roads that open onto the serene, championship-caliber grounds of Jupiter Hills Club, a sanctuary of understated elegance perched along Florida's Atlantic ridge.
