OVERVIEW
Medalist Golf Club is located in Hobe Sound, Florida. It was founded by Greg Norman in January 1995. The Club offers excellence in service and an exceptional golfing experience paying homage to the finest traditions of the game.
This respect for golf's heritage and, above all, for the experience of pure golf, was the driving force behind the design of the course itself. It is also the principle by which the club operates every day.
The Club facilities include a 26,000 square foot main Clubhouse with two dining facilities, a 1,300 square foot Halfway House and three guest cottages.
Medalist Golf Club's officers, board members and staff are committed to providing members and their guests with the finest possible golf experience.
This traditional course features tree-lined fairways in its design. The somewhat fast greens are small and undulating, and marshes come into play on several holes.
In March of 1995 this club hosted Shell's Wonderful World of Golf. Golf Digest rated this as the seventh "Best New Private Course" in America for 1995, and selected it as the 10th "Best in State" course for 1997-98.
Golf Magazine named it 80th best out of the "Top 100 Courses in the U.S." for 1995, and 99th for 1997.
Medalist Golf Club's ambience and lively caddie program are great bonuses for the serious golfer. More importantly, it possesses many design features worth emulating: broad fairways, turf kept firm and running with greens open in front, greens set at angles dictating the appropriate spot from which to play, and finally, fascinating recovery shots for those times that you miss the green. To achieve so much from a flat piece of land makes it a design worthy of much study.
A private course, the Medalist is consistently rated by major golf publications as one of Florida's best layouts.
