The Bears Club Golf Homes For Sale
The Bears Club
The Bear's Club in Florida was founded in 1999 by famed and prolific golf course architect Jack Niklaus and his wife, Barbara. Jack and Barbara, whose second home is in southern Florida, wanted a place where private members who invest in golf course real estate can have a golf and club experience unlike any other. And in its 15 years of operation, The Bear's Club is providing just what the Nicklauses hoped it would: privacy, luxury, and elite amenities. Located in Palm Beach County, Florida, The Bear’s Club is all a golfer could ever wanted in a place to call home.
On 270 acres of ocean-side land in Jupiter, Florida, The Bear's Club golf course winds through a variety of natural trees: cypress, pine, palmetto, and oak. The course offers a huge driving range, and there is a second, nine-hole par-3 course in addition to the main 18-hole championship course. The small course has a variety of challenges that range from 100 to 180 yards. The 18-hole championship course has a gently rolling layout that moves through 7,164 yards of challenging and rewarding play for the skilled golfer. Dotting the layout are 102 strategically placed sandy bunkers, which Nicklaus made sure would be a lasting feature by importing sand from his first home of Ohio that won’t wash out when it rains. There are several par-5 holes, including the home hole with a long green tucked into a lake. Water features factor significantly in many of the holes on The Bear’s Club course, including the home hole. The stunning topography of this course is as enjoyable to view as it is a play through, making the course an ideal vista for residents of golf course real estate in the surrounding golf communities.
The clubhouse at The Bear’s Club is Tuscan in design, which makes it an unusual but extremely refreshing staple in the Florida terrain that houses it. Its Mediterranean flavor was a unique touch honed by Barbara Nicklaus. Her design tastes also characterize the interior, with its warm woven rugs and elegant splendor throughout. The clubhouse is a sprawling 64,000 square feet, but buyers of golf course homes for sale at The Bears Club will appreciate that Barbara paid attention to every detail. The upper floor contains the main dining room, private dining area, and a mixed grill and lounge. On the lower level, a spacious central area is surrounded by a men's grill and five individual locker areas, which each have spa-like amenities like steam and massage rooms. There are also four suites for use of the members and their guests, with three member-owned cottages adjacent to the clubhouse.
The golf community at The Bear’s Club is diverse. Golf course homes for sale number among 55 estate residences, 17 golf villas, 14 club cottages, and 13 vintage estate homes. Choosing your special place among these will land you in one of the most elite golf communities in the world. For the dedicated golfer, there’s no better place to be.
