The average-sized greens are undulating and have speeds that vary with the changing weather conditions. This course has an aqua driving range. 1800 Central Blvd., Jupiter, FL. Phone: 561-747-6262 

Jonathan's Landing Golf Club

Three 18-hole championship golf courses in one residential community, what a dream for golfers to have such a luxury.

The first course to open at Jonathan's Landing is sometimes called the "In Town" course by designer Tom Fazio. This course is located amongst homes, lakes and waterways. It is probably the only course in the country with a ferryboat. The ferryboat accommodates two golf carts and is used to cross a salt water boating channel leading to the Intracoastal Waterway. The "In Town" course is the most used at Jonathan's Landing and may be the most difficult with its small, fast greens.

Just a few minutes away at Jonathan's Landing Old Trail, is a second course by Tom Fazio and another course by Arthur Hills.

Tom Fazio's course has been described as spectacular. Innovative. Fazio's best. And, remarkably all of these superlatives are true. Each fairway meanders around shimmering lakes, serene wetlands and towering pines. Dramatic contouring adds to the incredible variety of play that is a Fazio tradition. And just one solitary road (Clubhouse Drive) separates the front nine from the back. So only nature's pristine beauty might distract you from your game.

Arthur Hills' course is the perfect balance with the Fazio courses. Hills has designed a course truly worthy of such a magnificent setting, with even the short holes providing a stimulating challenge. The natural beauty of the cypress hammocks and towering stands of pine remain unblemished. What's more, neither roads nor residential development are within the course, a feature offered by few, if any, other South Florida courses.  16823 Captain Kirle Drive, Jupiter, FL.
