The Grove XIII

The Grove XIII, carved into the sandy scrub of Hobe Sound, immediately distinguishes itself by its exclusive, unconventional design—thirteen holes designed for high-stakes matches and rapid rounds among its select membership. This modern iteration of strategic golf, spearheaded by Tiger Woods and Beau Welling, forgoes the traditional 18-hole structure, prioritizing concentrated challenge and fostering a unique, competitive environment. The course plays firm and fast, a strategic tapestry woven through native grasses and undulating terrain. Its routing favors creativity and risk assessment over brute power, demanding precise shot-making into cleverly contoured greens, and many find it an unconventional but thoroughly thought out design. Long known as the home course and hangout for Woods, the competitive environment has fostered close matches. Beyond its architectural novelty, The Grove XIII functions as a private sanctuary for its members, a tight-knit community drawn together by a shared passion for the game and a desire for exclusivity. The club's relaxed atmosphere, while maintaining the highest standards of service, encourages camaraderie and spirited competition, often fueled by the club's signature BBQ ribs after a round, and offers a different kind of modern club and experience.
