Hobe Sound Golf Club | Hobe Sound, FL
Nestled among preserved wetlands and massive oak hammocks, the clubhouse, golf course, and community encompass 235 acres of pristine real estate on Florida's Treasure Coast in southern Martin County, two miles from Hobe Sound Beach and the quaint town of Stuart.
In 2017, the golf course, playing 7,150-yards was renovated by Tom Fazio II and offers an enjoyable yet challenging experience for all skill levels. Additionally, Members enjoy fine dining with family and friends in a relaxed environment with warm and friendly personal service and panoramic views of the course.
The lounge, undergoing renovation this Fall, offers a congenial atmosphere where Members and guests relive the day's challenge while basking in the ocean breezes, enjoying a casual lunch, and taking in some of the finest views South Florida golf has to offer.
