The Club at Admirals Cove

The Club at Admirals Cove in Jupiter, Florida features two eighteen-hole courses designed by Robert von Hagge, who completed the layout in the late 1980s as part of a luxury residential development along the Intracoastal Waterway. Von Hagge, known for his bold, strategic designs throughout Florida and the Caribbean, created distinct routings for the West and North courses that incorporate the region's flat terrain, native vegetation, and water features characteristic of South Florida golf. The West and North courses share von Hagge's design philosophy of emphasizing shot values and strategic options rather than relying solely on length for difficulty. Both layouts feature generous fairway corridors bordered by waste areas, lakes, and preserved natural areas, with Bermuda grass playing surfaces suited to the subtropical climate. The courses wind through mature landscaping and residential areas, with water coming into play on numerous holes in the form of lakes, canals, and connections to the Intracoastal system that defines the property's eastern boundary. Admirals Cove operates as a private equity club serving a membership drawn largely from seasonal residents and year-round Jupiter-area families. The club emphasizes a country club lifestyle that extends beyond golf to include marina facilities, tennis, fitness, and dining venues. The courses provide members with variety in their regular play, with the West and North nines offering different challenges and strategic emphases within von Hagge's overall design framework for the property.
