The Bear's Club
Jupiter, Palm Beach County
Course Overview
The Bear's Club is Jack Nicklaus's personal masterpiece in Jupiter — an elite private club playing 7,164 yards with a rating of 75.8 and slope of 143. This is where Nicklaus chose to build his own club, and the design reflects decades of championship experience. The layout features dramatic elevation changes (for Florida), strategic bunkering, and water hazards that demand precision on every shot. Membership is among the most exclusive in South Florida.
Fairway Conditions
Impeccable conditioning that reflects the Nicklaus personal touch. The course is maintained to the highest possible standard, with Bermuda fairways that are firm, fast, and perfectly manicured. The full practice facility is among the finest in the state. Every detail is managed to perfection — this is Jack Nicklaus's home course, and it shows.
Why I Love This Course
â Alex Haigh
"The Bear's Club is the course that changed my understanding of golf design. Jack Nicklaus didn't just put his name on this one — he designed it as his personal statement. The 7,164-yard layout with a 143 slope is demanding, but what strikes me most is the intelligence of the routing. Every hole makes you think, every shot has a purpose, and the conditioning is beyond anything I've seen in this area. I've been fortunate enough to play it a handful of times, and each round reveals something new. This is golf at its highest level."
