About this course

Hobe Sound Golf Club, carved into Florida’s Treasure Coast, whispers of a bygone era when golf was as much about camaraderie as competition. Originally envisioned by legendary architect Joe Lee, the parkland layout unfolds across a landscape subtly shaped by sandy soil and native pines. The course favors a strategic approach, rewarding thoughtful play over brute power, with strategically placed bunkers punishing errant drives and approaches. Locals will tell you the par-5 18th, with its gently sloping fairway and risk-reward green protected by water, is a true test of nerve. While not a frequent host to televised championships, Hobe Sound Golf Club prides itself on a vibrant membership, drawing heavily from nearby Jupiter Island and the broader Palm Beach community. Its membership is known for being tightly knit and extremely philanthropic. Many families are multi-generational members of the Club. The understated elegance extends beyond the course, with a clubhouse renowned for its warm hospitality and local seafood. And while it might not make headlines, Hobe Sound Golf Club is a respected haven for those who appreciate the game's finer traditions, steeped in the easygoing atmosphere of its exclusive community.

Getting there

Most arrivals touch down at Palm Beach International Airport, a straightforward forty-minute drive north along the Florida Turnpike and into the hushed enclave of Hobe Sound. The route transitions from coastal sprawl to something quieter and more deliberate - canopies of live oak and glimpses of the Intracoastal signal entry into one of South Florida's most discreet communities. Hobe Sound Golf Club reveals itself only to those who know where to look, a fitting arrival for a membership that has long prized privacy above all else.
