Harbour Ridge: The Best Things in Life

By Bethany Tap

Named for the 1715 Treasure Fleet that was lost in a hurricane along its coast, Florida’s Treasure Coast stretches along three coastal Floridian counties and includes Palm City, Florida. There, you’ll find Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club, a private gated country club known for its spectacular yachting, golf, and tennis. The community derives its name from the natural bluffs, which create a harbor and ridge along the club’s River Ridge Golf Course.

Golf
Both the River Ridge and Golden Marsh golf courses are renowned within the Treasure Coast and beyond for their discerning design, created by Pete and P.B. Dye and Joe Lee. The artistry of the courses, situated among wetlands with panoramic water views and breathtaking views of natural Florida habitats, make these two courses perfect for experiencing the wonder of the game. The River Ridge was built by father and son, Pete and P.B. Dye, with the intention of being not only beautiful, but also perfect for playing 18-holes. Golden Marsh, inspired by Joe Lee, lies on 20-acres of nature preserve, surrounded by the gentle sounds and sights of nature.
