Today, I want to highlight some of my favorite golf courses here in Jupiter, FL.
Private Golf Courses:

The Clubhouse adds to the experience with top-notch amenities, including a ballroom, dining room, pool, and spa, perfect for families.
- Jupiter Hills Club: The Hills course, Fazio's favorite, has undergone subtle yet consistent improvements over time, featuring the challenging par three 11th hole with six tees and varying angles to a narrow green. Jupiter Hills stands out for its elevation changes, reaching 60 feet between its lowest and highest points, making it highly esteemed and fiercely protected by its exclusive membership.
