The Bear's Club is a non-equity, private golf club and residential community located in Jupiter, Florida. Founded in 1999 by Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, The Bear's Club was conceived to offer members and their guests a world-class golf and club experience. The Bear's Club is designed to realize its vision of creating the finest possible private golf club with the finest amenities, programs, and services - making the club a truly unique experience, one not found anywhere else in the world.  

Jack had long harbored a desire to bring a first-rate golf club to his adopted home of South Florida, a destination as fine and reflective of his commitment to excellence as Muirfield Village Golf Club, his masterpiece near his Columbus, Ohio hometown. He made the dream a reality in 1999 with the creation of The Bear's Club which boasts a 40,000-square-foot clubhouse plus a range of magnificent golf homes including 68 luxurious golf estate residences, 17 golf villas, and 11 golf club villas, and he spared no expense in mind or motion to create another seminal golf experience.  The opportunity to own a well-appointed golf house at The Bear's Club is highly desirable, but rare in this exclusive golf community.

The Bear's Club is nestled among 369 immaculate sylvans, sandy acres a mile from the Atlantic. Jack Nicklaus expertly transformed the native environment with his exacting standards of design. The result is an 18-hole championship course with a gently rolling 7,164-yard layout that exudes a Low-country feel as it moves through a property rich in native vegetation, old oaks, pines, cypress trees, and wetlands areas.

Aesthetically and strategically placed throughout are 102 bunkers, many of them steeply flashed. They were inspired by the bunkers at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia, which Jack visited in 1998 when he was captain of the United States Presidents Cup team. A collection of medium-to-large undulating greens demand precision as they are rounded off at the edges and feed into hollows and chipping areas. The course possesses a memorable collection of par 5 holes, anchored by the gorgeous home hole, which features an inspiring green site. The long pear-shaped green is tucked into the elbow of a lake, leaving a generous bailout area to the right.  

Just beyond the water that guards the 18th green sits the impressive stone facade of the grand Tuscan-style clubhouse, which is elegant, gracious, and unusual for Florida. The Bear's Club clubhouse creates a sense of escape and nostalgia for members with its combination of architecture, ancient world furnishings, and a tranquil environment. Members of this prestigious Jupiter golf course community also appreciate the 5-star service, a white-glove concierge program, exemplary staff, and highly revered chef.  

In addition to the amenities you would expect to find in a clubhouse of this caliber, the clubhouse also includes four suites that are available for use by members and their guests. The clubhouse hosts many activities and events during the year and is the social gathering spot for this golf estate's residents and members. The Bear's Club is just one mile from the beach, is close to premier shopping, the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, Burt Reynolds and Friends Museum, Kravis Centre, and Roger Dean Stadium.
