Tequesta Country Club

Tequesta Country Club sits along the Loxahatchee River in the northern reaches of Palm Beach County, where the waterway's tidal marshes and maritime hammocks create a distinctive South Florida setting. The course was originally designed by Dick Wilson in the 1960s, with subsequent work by Charles Ankrom and Robert von Hagge contributing to its evolution over the decades. Wilson, known for his strategic bunkering and use of natural terrain, established the routing through terrain that combines river frontage with inland areas of native vegetation. The layout makes use of the property's water features and mature tropical landscaping, with several holes playing along or near the Loxahatchee. The course presents a traditional Florida design character from its era, with elevated greens, strategic bunkering, and the kind of shot-making demands typical of Wilson's work in the region. The involvement of von Hagge, who has worked extensively in Florida and is known for dramatic visual presentations, suggests refinements that may have enhanced both aesthetics and challenge. Tequesta Country Club functions as a private club serving the local community in this northern Palm Beach County enclave. The club maintains a family-oriented membership culture typical of established Florida country clubs, offering golf alongside other recreational and social amenities. The course provides a test of golf shaped by its specific riverine environment and the design philosophies of three architects who have left considerable marks on Florida golf course architecture.
