Local Favorites and Hidden Gems

The Champions Club at Summerfield (Stuart): Often cited as one of the region's premier courses, The Champions Club offers a challenging yet fair experience designed by Tom Fazio. Its immaculately maintained greens and strategic bunkering make it a local favorite. They often have attractive summer rates, which can be ideal for longer stays.

Sailfish Sands Golf Course (Stuart): This municipal course has recently undergone significant enhancements and offers a fantastic option for golfers looking for a well-maintained and enjoyable round without the pricier tabs of private clubs. It's known for being welcoming to all, including women golfers, and is a great spot to enjoy a laid-back game. Look out for their weekly specials.

Eagle Marsh Golf Club (Jensen Beach): Designed by Tommy Fazio II, Eagle Marsh is celebrated for its natural beauty, winding through preserves and wetlands. It provides a true Florida golf experience with plenty of wildlife sightings. The course is accommodating for all players and frequently offers packages that combine golf with other local activities, perfect for an extended family stay.

Club Med Sandpiper Bay (Port St. Lucie/Stuart area): While technically a bit further north, many of our guests find the short drive to Club Med worthwhile. Their 18-hole course is part of an all-inclusive resort, but non-guests can often book tee times. They are particularly welcoming for families and often have clinics and programs that encourage women and juniors to play.

Enjoying Golf on the Treasure Coast

Many courses in the region embrace the active lifestyle of the area, making them very welcoming for women golfers and offering various clinics and league play. Summer in Florida often means excellent value, with many courses providing reduced green fees to encourage play during the warmer months. It's always a good idea to check their websites or call ahead for the most current specials and tee time availability.

Beyond the greens, the allure of Hutchinson Island, Jensen Beach, and Stuart lies in the seamless blend of sport and luxurious relaxation. After a day on the links, imagine returning to the serene comfort of your oceanfront retreat, enjoying a sundowner with the sound of waves as your backdrop.
