Jack Nicklaus’s “Window to the Sea” at Sailfish Point is often described as breathtaking. The rolling ocean is a welcome distraction from this memorable golf experience, culminating with a final putt on the 18th green overlooking the Atlantic. Situated on Florida’s Treasure Coast on the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island, the private club community’s par-72 championship golf course is an oasis for Members seeking both precision and panoramic beauty. The newly updated Jack Nicklaus signature course is surrounded by almost every thinkable coastal landscape. Its natural beauty, however, is just the beginning. Let’s delve into what else sets it apart as a beacon of luxury and challenge.
Multi-Million Dollar Renovation Elevates Golf Experience
Recognized by Golfweek as one of the nation’s top residential courses, the signature course underwent a transformative renovation in 2021. Since the course’s inception in 1981, golfing at Sailfish Point has always held marks for unparalleled, world-class design. The 2021 renovations managed by the Nicklaus Design Team kept the course’s enduring character, while focusing on playability and strategy. The result was a design that caters to all skill levels, with five sets of tees ranging from 5,001 to 7,081 yards. The recent renovations included reducing formal sand areas, introducing advanced-tech bunker liners, expanding putting surfaces, and more. The Practice Areas were also transformed to include two driving areas on the north and south ends of the course. Sailfish Point has also installed an innovative Trackman putting analysis system in the Practice Area, further assisting Members in their gameplay.
Teeing Off on a Private Island
For the past 40 years, the course’s coastal location has created a private getaway for Members to enjoy. The juxtaposition of the course’s greens against the backdrop of the ocean, Indian River, and St. Lucie Inlet provides golfers with stunning vistas from every hole. The signature 18th hole nicknamed “Window to the Sea” offers a boundless view of the Atlantic Ocean. This prime setting, however, is not just a remarkable experience for Members. As an Audubon-certified course, there are many sights of egrets, herons, ibis, wood storks, and more that call the grounds home as well.
No Tee Times Required
Freedom from tee time restrictions allows Sailfish Point golfers to fully appreciate the natural surroundings, savoring the scenic beauty and tranquility of the course at their own leisure. No tee times mean no problems with getting out on the green whenever the mood strikes. If the ocean breeze is just right when Members get out of bed, no scheduling stress will deter friends and family from a quick round. This sense of exclusivity and unhurried play contributes to a more intimate and personalized golfing experience for players of all skill levels.
Marina & Oceanfront Club Amenities
Sailfish Point offers a comprehensive array of amenities designed to enrich the lifestyles of its Members. The full-service marina is one of the largest privately-owned marinas in Florida, offering 84 slips that can accommodate vessels up to 125 feet in length with an additional 45 dry slips. As the center of activity, the 60,000-square-foot Oceanfront Clubhouse includes dining venues, a pool, seven HydroGrid tennis courts, and four pickleball courts. The Fitness Center provides equipment for any training level, along with access to personal trainers. For relaxation and self-care, the Sailfish Point Spa presents a range of services, from specialty massages to rejuvenating facials and Salt Therapy, all set against the calming backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean.
