Tequesta Country Club offers a blend of Old Florida charm and championship-caliber golf. While it’s not a national pilgrimage spot, its Dick Wilson bones and recent Fazio restoration make it a club members treasure and seasoned locals respect.
Tequesta Country Club embodies Dick Wilson’s vision of an 'Old Florida' member’s course—solid bones, wide corridors, and inventive routings nestled on gently undulating land. Post-2013 Fazio II restoration, the course sports polished bunkering, improved turf, and subtly complex greens. Water hazards and mature trees add both challenge and character, weaving a layout that invites thoughtful play but punishes carelessness.
Dick Wilson’s influence is felt in the wide landing zones and strong green sites, while Tom Fazio II’s restoration sharpened strategic features for the modern member.
Just 295 yards from the Black tees, this risk-reward par 4 lures you with the bravery of a driveable green, but trouble lurks for the overzealous. Accuracy and discipline pay off—bite off more than you can chew and you risk a quick bogey.
A controlled long-iron or hybrid leaves a wedge in; going for the green brings bunkers, short grass, and tricky angles into play.
Errant drives find deep trouble; a misplaced attempt can spoil the scorecard early.
Superb fairway and green care, with crisp bunkers and playable turf even in summer.
Comfortably brisk member pace—never rushed, seldom slow.
Unfussy, traditional, and quietly exclusive—a club for golfers.
Collared shirts, no denim; classic private-club standards.
Several long par 3s and approaches require confidence with hybrids and long irons if you want to score well.
Tequesta rewards brains over brawn—plan your layups and second shots to keep stress off your scorecard.
South Florida’s sun and humidity can sneak up on you, even during a gentle walking round.
