Timeless Florida Palm City Golf Courses


Palm City Golf Courses

Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club is noted for two of the best Palm City Golf Courses on Florida's Treasure Coast. It's a true golfer's paradise with lush kept greens, native Florida pines, palm trees and natural banking waterways. Unique estates dot the courses' borders, and along with a state-of-the-art clubhouse, form the foundation for this outstanding golf community. But don't take our word for it. You have to see these undaunting Palm City Golf Courses for yourself.

The Golden Marsh

First on the list of prestigious Palm City Golf Courses is a crowd favorite: The Golden Marsh. Designed by course architect Joe Lee, The Golden Marsh combines tropical charm with sweeping vistas and swaying palms around every turn. Taking Florida's natural beauty into account, this course proves to be a fun challenge for golfers of all handicap levels. For a bird's eye view of this beautiful course, watch the Aerial Flyover HERE.

The River Ridge Course

If you're looking for more of a challenge from Harbour Ridge's Palm City Golf Courses, then you can't miss the challenging River Ridge Course. Designed by infamous course designers, Pete and P.B. Dye, The River Ridge Course has played host to numerous qualifying rounds for many USGA championships. It boasts one of the highest slope ratings in Florida, and for a state infamous for its flat landscape, that's saying something. Despite its challenge, The River Ridge Course can be played by all levels of golfers from its five sets of tees. View the River Ridge Course interactive tour HERE.

Harbour Ridge Country Club: A Pet-Friendly Community



Your pet is more than just a companion, they're a member of the family. So when it comes time to think about moving somewhere a little sunnier, you want a spot that welcomes them just as much as they welcome you. Which is why Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club is one of the most pet-friendly private communities on the Treasure Coast. We cater to the needs of your furry friend with the same attentive detail we extend to every member of your family.

A Pet-Friendly Florida Community

Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club is a vibrant and active community. Our residents live by a work hard, play hard motto. Picture a day starting with a little morning yoga before getting a little work and a couple emails out of the way. Afternoons mean a break for a quick tennis match or a leisurely read poolside at the pool. And where there's a resident, you're sure to see their pooch not far behind. By promoting a community-wide, pet-friendly atmosphere, we ensure both resident and pet remain happy and healthy. Here are some of our favourite pet-friendly community amenities.

Pet-Friendly Real Estate

All real estate at Harbour Ridge is pet-friendly. Bring the dog, cat, snake, fish, bird - we love them all. Whether your cat loves to sit in the window and soak up the sun all day, or you have a dog that enjoys the outdoors, our pet-friendly community is suited for whatever your pet's needs. Every home offers ample yard room to let your dog run and stretch their legs.

Puppy Park

Harbour Ridge offers dog owners the chance to let their pups play at our Puppy Park. Here dogs can run and train on a full agility-training setup as well as play with a selection of toys, tennis balls and frisbees. Dogs can get to know their neighbors at Puppy Playtime, where the park is reserved for an hour for dogs based on size to keep their owner's mind at ease. Harbour Ridge has no requirements or restrictions on dog size so long as every pup is friendly, social and having fun.

Harbour Ridge Breaks Ground On New Fitness Facility

PALM CITY, FL – January 5, 2016 – Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club broke ground today for Lakeside, the new $8.9 million fitness, tennis, swim and salon/spa facility to be completed on the current fitness center site on Gilson Road in St. Lucie County over the next year. The new facility will replace the existing Fitness/Tennis Center and pool, update the tennis courts, add a separate realty office and expand the parking lot.

Club President Herb Heuchert spoke at the groundbreaking saying, “The Board recognized the need for this improved and expanded amenity to our club and moved quickly to accommodate it for our current and future members. We are especially proud to be able to achieve it without a member assessment or any additional long-term debt.”

Among those gathered at the site were Club, Board and staff members, design and construction partners for the project and Commissioner Tod Mowry from the St. Lucie County Planning Commission. “We were especially pleased that the Commissioner attended today to meet the people involved and see first-hand the energy this project will bring to our community here at Harbour Ridge,” said General Manager Michael Salerno.

“This is money well spent,” commented Cesar Trujillo, on-site Keller Williams Project Manager. “Harbour Ridge will reap the benefits of this investment in fitness and wellness for years to come. I feel confident it will attract new, young members looking for the complete package of amenities that can only be found in a country club environment like Harbour Ridge.”

Peacock + Lewis Architects prepared the architectural and interior designs for the new lifestyle center. President Brian Idle said, “With input from the membership, we were able to create a design that will meet the needs of existing members and provide space for growth as the trends in fitness change. The design compliments the casually-elegant characteristic of the Harbour Ridge campus.”
“New construction is often difficult to integrate into an existing environment,” commented Donald Proctor, President/CEO of Proctor Construction who will build Lakeside. “But natural beauty is a trademark of the Harbour Ridge landscape and we expect it to assimilate the new building in a pleasing way.”

“I am especially pleased that the Committee included area to house the full range of salon and spa services as well as fitness,” said Fitness/Spa Director Jennifer Tamules. “That’s what we hear more members want.”

Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club is a private, 885-acre community with 695 residences that overlook its two picturesque golf courses, acres of Audubon sanctioned nature preserves and the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. The Board of Directors, management and staff, along with the members, are all dedicated to maintaining their commitment to financial soundness and stability in an environment which enables them to enrich their quality of life.
