Membership at Hobe Sound Golf Club

Few clubs enjoy the sense of camaraderie found at Hobe Sound, one of the most welcoming private golf clubs in South Florida, where members and their families share an appreciation for the game and its social aspects.

Equity and Non-Equity golf memberships are available, as well as Executive, Junior, and Summer memberships, and a non-golfing Social membership.

Director of Membership

Michele Blanco is the Director of Membership, Sales, & Marketing at Hobe Sound Club.  She joined the team there in February 2015.  She previously served in various director-level marketing positions for over 21 years at Calder Casino & Race Course in Miami, Fla., most recently as the Director of Advertising & Public Relations.  Her vast experience includes doing publicity work for the Kentucky Derby and Thoroughbred horse racing’s championship day, the Breeders’ Cup.

Ms. Blanco is a native South Floridian, born and raised in Broward County, and holds a bachelor’s degree in communications from Florida International University.  She moved to Martin County in July 2013 and resides in Stuart.

Despite growing up in a community with several public and private courses nearby, Ms. Blanco never picked up the game of golf, but within a month of starting her new role at Hobe Sound Golf Club, she purchased her “starter set” of clubs, determined to learn more and more about what she finds to be an “intriguing, addictive, sometimes frustrating, but always rewarding game.”  She also enjoys watching the sport’s young stars compete on television.

2019 Summer Renovation at Hobe Sound Golf Club

Hobe Sound Golf Club to Celebrate 30th Anniversary and Prepare for 2019 Summer Renovation

Hobe Sound, Fla. (Sept. 19, 2018)… Hobe Sound Golf Club, a private golf club in southern Martin County, FL, will celebrate its 30th anniversary this coming 2018-19 season, which will set the stage for a major course renovation in the summer of 2019.

The Club was first established in 1988, with its 18-hole course designed by Joe Lee. The original architect was directed by developers to retain the naturalness of the terrain and to create a topflight course suitable for private membership, both hallmarks that continue to this day.

Hobe Sound Golf Club is situated on a natural sand ridge that stands out alongside the Treasure Coast’s usually flat terrain and the region is home to some of the most exclusive clubs in the country. Tom Fazio II Golf Design has been selected for the 2019 project, which will include 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. The natural characteristics of this property are what golf designers dream of,” said Fazio II, 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 will be working to exploit these features to create a more sustainable and environment-friendly course.

“My goal is to create a strategic golf course that is more challenging for the better players, less penal for the higher handicapped players, but a course that plays different each day to all players,” added Fazio.

Hobe Sound Golf Club is owned by its Equity Members. Club President Skip Willis and the Board of Governors have been working on a multi-year plan to increase membership while at the same time maintaining a no tee time environment and an ideal pace of play for all.

“Hobe Sound Golf Club is a dream golf club,” said Mr. Willis. “We’re here to play golf and enjoy each other’s company. The game is what brings us together and we are thrilled to have Tom Fazio II, with his expertise and reputation, work on our prized possession – our golf course.”

Hobe Sound Golf Club prides itself on presenting the game of golf as it was meant to be: an impeccably maintained course…a warm and friendly membership…and exceptional attention and service. Fine dining and congenial social activities complete the experience for members and their friends and family.

The Club is accepting a limited number of applications for the upcoming 2018-19 season and inquiries can be made to Membership Director Michele Blanco by contacting her HERE.

HSGC is located at 11671 SE Plandome Drive in Hobe Sound; on Bridge Road, one-half mile west of US 1.
