New Golf Course Communities Coming to Jupiter, FL: A 2026 Buyer's Guide
Last updated: August 2026
If you're searching for new golf course communities in Jupiter, FL, here's the honest answer no one puts in the headline: nothing brand new is being carved out inside Jupiter town limits. There simply isn't the land. What is happening is arguably more interesting — a ring of the most ambitious private golf developments in the country is going up within a 25-minute drive of the Jupiter Inlet, and Jupiter is the town those buyers keep choosing to live in, eat in, and dock their boats in.
Across a roughly 10-mile stretch of Martin County just north of us, developers are building or planning eight private courses at five separate properties. Add Panther National to the south in Palm Beach Gardens, and you're looking at more than 160 new golf holes going into the ground in our backyard. Below is a straight look at each one, what stage it's actually at, and what it means if you're buying or selling a home in Jupiter right now.
Why Jupiter Became the Center of Florida's Golf Boom
Jupiter's reputation didn't come from marketing. It came from the fact that a remarkable share of the PGA Tour actually lives here — the town and its immediate neighbors have long been home base for players like Tiger Woods, Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson, with Michael Jordan famously inside The Bear's Club. When the best players in the world pick a zip code, the clubs follow.
The second driver is simple math. Palm Beach County has largely run out of large, developable inland parcels, and the ones that remain trade at prices that only work for ultra-luxury projects. So developers pushed north into Martin County, where land was cheaper and the acreage was big enough to do something unusual — three courses in one place, or two courses with 175 acres of practice ground.
The result is that Jupiter now sits in the middle of the densest concentration of new high-end private golf in the United States. That's a real, durable tailwind for property values in Jupiter, Tequesta, Palm Beach Gardens and Hobe Sound.
The New Golf Course Communities Near Jupiter, FL
1. Panther National — Palm Beach Gardens (Avenir)
Status: Course open, homes delivering, clubhouse targeted for fall 2026
Drive from downtown Jupiter: roughly 20–25 minutes
Panther National is the closest thing to a genuinely new golf community in the Jupiter area, and it's the first private golf community to open in Palm Beach County in nearly two decades. It sits on about 400 acres inside the Avenir master plan off Northlake Boulevard, bordered by a 2,400-acre protected preserve.
The centerpiece is an 18-hole championship course co-designed by Jack Nicklaus and Justin Thomas that opened in late 2023. It stretches to nearly 8,000 yards from the tips but plays as short as roughly 4,500, and it was built with real elevation change — unusual for South Florida. Practice amenities include a nine-hole par-3 short course with an island green and a Nicklaus-designed putting course.
The real estate: Roughly 218 homes total, released in phases as Signature Estate Homes (developer-built) and a limited number of custom estate homesites with golf or preserve views. The architecture is a deliberate break from the area's Mediterranean norm — modern, glass-forward, clean-lined. Recent offerings have been reported in the mid-$2 millions up to around $13 million, though phased releases mean current pricing changes; I'd confirm live availability before you get attached to a number.
What to know before you buy: This is still a phased build-out. The golf is done and playable, which removes a lot of the guesswork, but the clubhouse, Lifestyle Club, spa and racquet center are still coming online through late 2026. Renderings and lot dimensions in developer materials are explicitly approximate. Buying here means buying a vision that's about 70% delivered.
2. Atlantic Fields — Hobe Sound
Status: Actively selling homesites and developer-built residences
Drive from downtown Jupiter: roughly 20 minutes
Atlantic Fields is Discovery Land Company's first project on Florida's east coast — the same developer behind Baker's Bay in the Bahamas and the Yellowstone Club in Montana. It occupies more than 1,500 acres off Bridge Road, on land that was once the Hobe Sound polo grounds and a working tree farm, directly adjacent to Michael Jordan's Grove XXIII.
The golf is a Tom Fazio championship course plus a nine-hole short course, backed by a performance center with TrackMan at every station. Beyond golf, the club leans into its agricultural heritage: equestrian facilities, a working farm, farm-to-table dining, and Discovery's signature on-course comfort stations.
The real estate: Just 317 homes on that acreage, split between custom estate lots and developer-built turnkey residences. The design language is Old Florida meets modern farmhouse — indoor-outdoor living, natural materials. Estate lots have been reported starting in the range of $6 million, before you build. This is the highest barrier to entry of anything on this list that actually sells you a deed.
What to know before you buy: Discovery communities are relationship-driven and information is handled privately. If you're serious, you want representation that can get you real numbers rather than what's floating around online.
3. The Ranch — West of Hobe Sound
Status: Under construction
Drive from downtown Jupiter: roughly 35 minutes
The Ranch might be the most unusual project in Florida right now. Ken Bakst — the developer behind Friar's Head on Long Island, a perennial Top-100 course — bought roughly 3,900 acres of the former Calusa Creek Ranch off Kanner Highway. Plans call for two 18-hole courses by Whitman, Axland & Cutten, plus a 175-acre practice complex that includes a 12-hole par-3 course, a full-length 10-hole practice loop and a 360-degree range.
The real estate: Only 175 homes, and here's the twist — none of them sit on the golf. They're clustered on roughly 250 acres well away from the courses, and about 90% of the property stays undeveloped, much of it still an active cattle operation. If you've ever thought golf-course-lot living meant staring at a cart path from your lanai, this is the deliberate opposite.
What to know before you buy: Timelines here have moved more than once. Earlier targets had the first course opening in 2025. Treat any published date as a moving target and verify current status directly.
4. Apogee Club — Hobe Sound (No Homes for Sale)
Status: First two courses open, third in progress
Apogee deserves a spot on this list precisely because so many buyers ask about it and then discover it isn't a real estate play at all. Developed by Michael Pascucci and Stephen Ross on roughly 1,200 acres, it's three 18-hole courses — by Gil Hanse, Tom Fazio II with Mike Davis, and Kyle Phillips — plus two clubhouses, short courses and a massive circular practice range.
There is no housing component. Martin County entitlements permit up to 54 short-stay villas for members and guests and prohibit permanent residences. You cannot buy a home at Apogee. Reported initiation figures have climbed steeply since launch, from an early range in the high six figures to numbers reported around seven figures more recently.
Why it matters to Jupiter buyers: Apogee members need somewhere to actually live. A meaningful slice of demand for Jupiter and Tequesta homes right now comes from people who joined a club up north and want a house 20 minutes away.
5. Rolling Sands — Indiantown
Status: Early stage
Backed by investor Chris Shumway with a course design attributed to Tom Doak, Rolling Sands sits on the western edge of The Ranch property. Public detail remains thin compared to the others. Worth watching, not yet worth planning around.
Also in the Mix: Grove XXIII and McArthur
Neither is new and neither sells homes, but both shaped this map. Michael Jordan's invitation-only Grove XXIII, designed by Bobby Weed and opened in 2019, is widely credited with proving that Hobe Sound could support this caliber of club. McArthur Golf Club has since added a second course. Together they created the gravity that pulled Apogee, Atlantic Fields and The Ranch to the same few square miles.

What About Golf Homes Inside Jupiter Itself?
If your priority is living in Jupiter with golf out your back door, the inventory is all in established communities — and that's not a downside. These are finished clubs with known dues, mature landscaping and no construction trucks. Several also offer something none of the new Martin County projects can: deep-water boating.
- Admirals Cove — golf plus a private marina with dock services and true yacht capacity, on the Intracoastal.
- Jonathan's Landing — waterfront and golf, with member access to the Fazio and Hills courses at Old Trail in Ranch Colony.
- The Bear's Club — a small Nicklaus enclave of estate residences and villas, and one of the most exclusive addresses in Florida.
- The Loxahatchee Club — a Nicklaus design across roughly 340 acres, consistently ranked among the country's better courses.
- Jupiter Country Club — a Greg Norman signature course off Indiantown Road near the Turnpike, with the most attainable entry point of Jupiter's private clubs.
- The Dye Preserve — a pure golfer's club with a Pete Dye layout.
- Trump National Jupiter — a 7,242-yard Nicklaus course with full family amenities.
- Abacoa — the value play. Homes and townhomes in The Island and Charleston Court overlook the public Abacoa Golf Club, with no private club initiation required.
New construction inside Jupiter does exist, but it comes as teardown-and-rebuild on existing club lots — a handful of remaining homesites at The Loxahatchee Club, new builds underway in Admirals Cove — rather than new communities.
What This Means If You Own a Home in Jupiter
Three things worth understanding:
Demand is arriving from above, not below. Buyers priced into a $6 million Atlantic Fields lot or a seven-figure Apogee initiation don't compete for a $1.2 million Abacoa home. But their presence pulls the whole market's ceiling upward, and it brings restaurants, services and staff housing pressure with it.
Established Jupiter clubs are quietly repricing. When new clubs open at these initiation levels, memberships at Jupiter Country Club, Loxahatchee and Jonathan's Landing start to look like relative value — and buyers notice. Membership economics are becoming as important to Jupiter home values as square footage.
Boating is Jupiter's moat. None of the new Martin County clubs offer ocean access. If you own on the Intracoastal in Admirals Cove or Jonathan's Landing, you own something the new inventory structurally cannot replicate.
Buying Pre-Construction in a Golf Community: What I'd Tell a Client
- Separate the home price from the club cost. Initiation, annual dues, food-and-beverage minimums and capital assessments can add a meaningful yearly number on top of your mortgage. Get all of it in writing before you sign anything.
- Ask whether membership is mandatory and whether it's transferable. Some clubs tie membership to the deed; some cap it; some have a waitlist even for homeowners. This affects resale directly.
- Assume renderings will change. Developer materials at every one of these projects state that dimensions, views and amenities are approximate. Buy the land and the location, not the drawing.
- Understand the phase you're in. Buying in phase one means living beside construction for years — and usually buying at the best basis. Buying at the end means a finished product at a premium. Neither is wrong; know which one you're doing.
- Bring your own representation to the sales gallery. On-site agents work for the developer. In most cases the developer pays a cooperating broker regardless — so declining representation costs you leverage and saves you nothing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any brand-new golf course communities being built inside Jupiter, FL?
No. There is no new golf course community under construction within Jupiter town limits, and there is no remaining parcel large enough to support one. The newest golf communities in the Jupiter area are Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens and Atlantic Fields and The Ranch in Martin County, all within about a 20 to 35 minute drive.
What is the newest golf community near Jupiter, Florida?
Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens is the newest one with homes actively delivering. Its Nicklaus and Justin Thomas course opened in late 2023, and its clubhouse is targeted for fall 2026. It's the first private golf community to open in Palm Beach County in nearly twenty years.
Can you buy a home at Apogee in Hobe Sound?
No. Apogee is intentionally non-residential. County entitlements allow up to 54 short-stay villas for members and guests but prohibit permanent homes. Buyers who want the Hobe Sound golf lifestyle with actual ownership typically look at Atlantic Fields or The Ranch instead.
How much do homes cost in the new Jupiter-area golf communities?
Panther National offerings have been reported from the mid-$2 millions to around $13 million. Atlantic Fields estate lots have been reported starting near $6 million before construction. These are phased releases and pricing moves, so treat published figures as a starting point and verify current availability.
Which Jupiter golf communities have boat access?
Admirals Cove and Jonathan's Landing both combine golf with Intracoastal waterfront and ocean access. Admirals Cove has a private marina with dock services and capacity for large yachts. None of the new Martin County golf clubs offer waterfront boating.
Is now a good time to buy a golf home in Jupiter?
It depends on whether you want a finished product or a basis advantage. Established Jupiter clubs offer known costs and mature amenities today. The new Martin County and Palm Beach Gardens projects offer early pricing on communities that aren't finished yet. The right answer comes down to your timeline, your club priorities, and whether boating matters to you.
Thinking About a Golf Home in Jupiter?
I live and work in this market, and I track these projects as they move — not as they were announced. Whether you're weighing a pre-construction lot at Atlantic Fields against a finished home in Admirals Cove, or you just want to know what your current golf-community home is worth in this environment, let's talk.
