Mariner Sands – Gold Course
Stuart, Martin County
Course Overview
The Gold Course at Mariner Sands is a Tom Fazio redesign playing 6,879 yards with a rating of 73.4 and slope of 139 — the more demanding of the club's two 18-hole layouts. Fazio's redesign elevated the course to championship caliber with strategic bunkering, water hazards, and elevated greens that demand precise approach play. Combined with the Blue Course, Mariner Sands offers 36 holes of elite private golf.
Fairway Conditions
The Fazio redesign brought this course to a different level. Bermuda fairways are impeccably maintained with strategic shaping and excellent drainage. The higher slope rating reflects the tighter fairways and more demanding green complexes. Conditioning is first-rate — this is a club that takes its golf seriously.

Why I Love This Course
â Alex Haigh
"The Gold Course is the one that gets people talking about Mariner Sands. The Fazio redesign gave it this championship feel that you don't always find at private clubs of this size — it plays like a tour-level layout on a manageable scale. The 73.4 rating means it's a legitimate test, and the conditioning is always immaculate. I've walked this course with clients who ended up buying in the community specifically because of the golf. That says everything."
