River Ridge at Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club

River Ridge at Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club occupies a setting in Palm City, Florida, where the landscape transitions between coastal flatlands and the St. Lucie River corridor. Pete Dye collaborated with his son P.B. Dye on the design, bringing the family's characteristic approach to a region not typically associated with dramatic topography. The course works within the constraints of South Florida terrain, incorporating water features, strategic bunkering, and the kind of angular, geometric shaping that defines much of the Dyes' portfolio.

The routing reflects the practical challenges of building in this environment—managing water both as hazard and drainage necessity, creating interest on relatively level ground, and accounting for prevailing winds. The design employs railroad ties, pot bunkers, and raised greens in places, elements familiar from other Dye projects. Water comes into play on multiple holes, a function of both the natural hydrology and design intent. The course serves the residential community at Harbour Ridge, which includes yacht club amenities reflective of the area's boating culture along the Intracoastal Waterway.

Harbour Ridge operates as a private club with golf, tennis, and marina facilities. The membership draws from seasonal and year-round residents in Martin County, an area that has seen considerable development since the 1980s. The club maintains the course for member play rather than tournament competition, and the dining and social programs follow the patterns typical of Florida country club communities.
