Jupiter Hills Club: Village

While not as dramatic as this club’s Hills Course, the Village Course at Jupiter Hills Club possesses many of the same qualities and quandaries. George Fazio naturally utilized the best features of the club’s property in the late 1960s when he was building the Hills Course, namely the large, cresting ridges of sand on the north side of the site next to Jonathan Dickinson State Park, and the land that was available eight years later when he constructed the Village Course was primarily down in the flats on the south end. The design had to be engaging without the asset of huge elevation changes, and does so with slender fairways with subtle offset movements and small, difficult greens set over deep clamshell bunkers. A 2017 remodel of the greens and bunkers also replaced the Bermuda roughs with borders of open sand to match the dazzling aesthetics of the Hills Course.
