HUTCHINSON ISLAND MARRIOTT BEACH RESORT & MARINA
🇺🇸 Stuart, FL, USA
Designed by Charles Ankrom

The Ocean Course at Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort & Marina occupies a distinctive coastal setting along Florida's Treasure Coast in Stuart. Designed by Charles Ankrom, the course takes advantage of its barrier island location, where the layout encounters both oceanfront terrain and the natural wetlands characteristic of this stretch of Florida's Atlantic coastline. The routing reflects the constraints and opportunities of island golf, with holes shaped by prevailing winds, native vegetation, and the relatively modest elevation changes typical of coastal Florida courses.
Ankrom's design incorporates the region's environmental features, including areas of preserved maritime hammock and tidal marshes that define playing corridors and frame strategic decisions. The course serves primarily as a resort amenity for guests of the Marriott property, offering accessible golf in a vacation setting where ocean views and tropical landscaping contribute to the experience. Water hazards, both natural and constructed, appear throughout the routing and influence club selection and approach angles on multiple holes.
The facility operates within the broader context of Florida's extensive resort golf market, where courses balance playability for visitors of varying skill levels with enough design interest to reward better players. The Ocean Course functions as part of the resort's recreational offerings, complementing the marina and beachfront amenities that define the property's appeal along this quieter section of Florida's east coast, removed from the denser development found farther south.
