One golf course with a distinguished history is Jupiter Hills Club in Tequesta. Designed in 1970 by George Fazio, the course has blended elements from two of his favorite courses, Pine Valley and Merion. In operation for over 50 years, Jupiter Hills Club uses sand from the nearby coastline to create an 18-hole course that challenges players with many steep dunes.
The Tournament Players Club at Sawgrass (TPC Sawgrass) in Ponte Vedra Beach boasts a 40-year-plus history of challenging players. In 1980, designer Pete Dye actualized an idea of then-PGA Commissioner Deane Beman by building a course that required both precision and the ability to drive the ball long distances. The course’s greens utilize irregular layouts. The most notable, at the 17th hole, is the Island Green, featuring a body of water as a border.
Other Florida courses attract players due to the fame of their designers/players. Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer created the King & Bear Golf Course at World Golf Village in St. Augustine. Since its opening in 2000, the course has hosted multiple tournaments including the Korn Ferry King & Bear Classic in 2020, with world-class players.
