Jupiter Hills Club
Jupiter Hills Club is a private, gated golf-club community offering two championship 18-hole courses and a dramatic hilly layout. The clubhouse spans about 40,000 sq ft and offers gourmet dining, scenic views, and social gathering spaces. Additional amenities include tennis courts, pickleball courts, a modern fitness center, and multiple swimming pools. The property is low-density, with around 212 residences ranging from villas to large estates. Membership is optional but offers access to all club features and prestige.
The community lies in Tequesta, Florida, just north of Jupiter, amid lush landscaping and rolling terrain. It sits adjacent to Jonathan Dickinson State Park, offering access to natural trails and preserve views. Nearby are shopping, dining hubs like the Gardens Mall and Abacoa, yet the setting feels remote. Homes often showcase ocean, Intracoastal, or golf course vistas and spacious lots. The atmosphere blends upscale tranquility with community camaraderie and exclusivity.
About Jupiter Hills Golf Courses
The Hills Course at Jupiter Hills is a private, hilly 18-hole championship layout designed by George and Tom Fazio in 1970. It plays from 6,973 yards (Gold tees) up to 7,344 yards (Black tees) with a slope ranging from 144 to 152 and ratings between 75.3 and 77.3. The course is Bermuda grass on fairways and greens, with fast, firm putting surfaces and firm conditions. It features numerous bunkers and several water-guarded holes, though the exact counts are not publicly disclosed. Its signature hole is the uphill Par-3 11th, stretching over dramatic terrain with multiple angles of approach.
The Village Course provides a somewhat softer but still challenging contrast, also by the Fazio design team. From its back tees it measures about 6,998 yards, with a slope of 147 (Gold) and rating of 73.9. It likewise uses Bermuda grass and maintains excellent conditioning with well-contoured greens. Water hazards and strategically placed bunkers penalize errant shots across holes. Its more subtle signature holes reward shot placement over sheer length.
Jupiter Hills Greens Fees and Membership Costs
The daily green and cart fees at Jupiter Hills are generally not published to the public, as play is limited to members or invited guests. Some sources indicate that non-members are rarely allowed and tee times may be restricted. Because green fees are not standard, cart fees—when permitted—are likely bundled or controlled by the club. The lack of published daily rates reflects the exclusivity of the club and limited public play. Guests must typically arrange access through a member to learn any applicable daily fees.
Membership at Jupiter Hills requires a substantial initiation fee, reported around $125,000 by some sources. Annual dues are also quoted in the mid-to-upper five figures, for example approximately $17,500. The club is invite-only with a cap on total membership, making it exclusive. Members generally pay no further “green fees” separate from dues under normal conditions. Costs may also include assessments, food & beverage minimums, and other ancillary charges beyond dues.
