Championship Golf and Refined Residential Living

The Bears Club is a private, gated golf community in Jupiter, Florida (zip code 33477), founded in 1999 by Jack Nicklaus and his wife Barbara. Spanning approximately 370 acres of preserved natural landscape, the community offers a limited collection of luxury residences — including estate homes, golf villas, club villas, and custom estates — centered on an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course.

The intentionally small scale of The Bears Club, with a limited number of estate lots and villa residences, is central to its appeal: privacy, exclusivity, and a sense of community that larger developments cannot replicate.

The Golf Course

At the heart of The Bears Club is an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature course designed to deliver both strategic challenge and visual beauty. The layout winds through native pine trees, palmettos, wetlands, lakes, and protected preserves, embracing Jupiter’s natural landscape while offering wide fairways, sculpted greens, and dramatic bunkering that reward precision and course management.

The course is consistently recognized among the finest private club layouts in Florida, maintained to tournament-caliber conditions year-round.

The Clubhouse

The 40,000-square-foot clubhouse evokes the architecture of a Tuscan estate, featuring richly appointed interiors, timeless design, and a setting that is both refined and welcoming. Members enjoy personalized service, attentive staff, and exceptional dining overseen by an accomplished culinary team. A full calendar of member events, gatherings, and social programming makes The Bears Club an active year-round community as well as a golf destination.
