Overview
Sailfish Point is a unique golf and residential club that occupies some of the most valuable land on the Florida Atlantic Coast. It’s set on an isthmus called Hutchinson Island just north of Jupiter Island between the ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway and the St. Lucie Inlet, connected to land by a narrow causeway. The Jack Nicklaus-designed course, one of his firm’s earliest that opened in 1981, occupies the center of the island though homes flank most of the parallel-paired holes. The design, fully renovated in 2022, does touch the water with the 14th green set on the shore of the inlet and the 18th “Window to the Sea” green perched above the Atlantic beach, but the best hole might be the 184-yard par-3 12th angled tightly against a marshy canal, a ringer for the brutal 17th hole at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island though this one came eight years before the other.

Review
“A hidden Florida gem. Course was in magnificent condition. Aesthetics with the course were eye-popping between the water views, the landscape and the homes surrounding the course. Many tee shots had water on one side of the fairway and large bunkers on the other side--visually it was slightly intimidating. Green complexes were less severe than many other Nicklaus designs, but still a number of false fronts and slope for balls to run off the green and into shaved collection areas. Only a coule of "breather" holes. Most required your best attention."

“Beautiful property with fantastic views of the bay and the ocean. Great pace of play as well. Very unique Jack Nicklaus design that is very different from his other work."

“Worth playing just to see the spectacular housing around the course. Condition is outstanding, greet layout where you can run the ball onto most greens that aren't fronted by water. Lots of water but really not in play if you don't spray shots."

“The course plays from 7117-4423 Yds. with a 75.0/148 rating after a renovation. Beautiful course and ocean views. Outstanding green settings with narrow entrances make scoring challenging. Damaged from moisture in the greens has been repaired (3/23) and should be in very good condition soon."
