Hobe Sound Golf Club completed a major course renovation in the summer of 2019.
​
Tom Fazio II Golf Design led the project, which included wall-to-wall re-grassing, adjusting the teeing grounds to add length to the course, improving the bunkers, and installation of a new, state-of-the-art irrigation system.
 
“I am thankful to be starting with such a good palette," said Fazio II at the beginning of the project. "The natural characteristics of this property are what golf designers dream of.”  Fazio is a third-generation golf architect based in Jupiter, FL, whose portfolio of courses includes Quail Valley Golf Club in Vero Beach, FL; Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ; Trump National in Briarcliff Manor, NY; Great River in Milford, CT; and Tequesta Country Club in Tequesta, FL.
 
“The sandy white soil, pines, oaks and scrub oak are the ideal site for golf,” continued Fazio. “We worked to exploit these features to create a more sustainable and environment-friendly course.
 
“My goal was to greatly improve the strategic nature of the golf course; making it more challenging for the better players, less penal for the higher handicapped players, and a course that plays different each day for all players,” he added.
 
The course at HSGC is Bermuda TifTuf™ turf grass and the greens are TifEagle™.
 
There are five sets of tees and four combination sets.
