FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM // 23 THE CLUB AT IBIS

This Palm Beach enclave with three Nicklaus courses offers the best of both worlds—city sophistication and convenience in a lush oasis of unexpected tranquility Florida is treasured for its wildlife and nowhere is it more abun- dant, or more revered, than within the gates of The Club at Ibis on the outskirts of West Palm Beach. Just a few miles west of I-95 and minutes from the elegance and diversions of the Palm Beaches, this private golf community bordered by the 12,000-acre Grassy Waters Nature Preserve feels like an oasis of natural beauty. From the moment you enter royal palm-lined Ibis Boulevard, you feel a world apart. TThe landscaping is lush, scenic lakes accent the grounds, and birds—spoonbills, blue heron, sandhill cranes, and ibis—are always in view. The streets are lined with trails for walking, jogging, and bik- ing in the midst of the beauty. Ibis has a flavor unlike any other luxu- rious residential community in this desirable region of Florida. Golf certainly defines the Ibis experience. This is the only club in the world with three Nicklaus family courses (Jack, Jack II, and Steve) and each of them are unique. Jack’s Signature Legend Course features an abundance of mounding. Jack II’s Heritage gives you the benefit of generous fairways, but requires more water carries. And Steve’s Tradition is more links style, with undulating greens that place a premium on your short game. Play all 54 holes and you’ll nev- er see the same hole twice. What all the courses have in common, beyond the Nicklaus stamp, outstanding layouts, and meticulous grooming, is that the fin- ishing holes of each course comprise arguably the three hardest fin- ishing holes in Palm Beach County, which sits just fine with a mem- bership that loves to play golf. The Club boasts numerous member

One the country’s top 50 instructors, Hall is a veteran of the European Tour and has taught players on the PGA Tour, Champions Tour, and LPGA Tour, including Morgan Pressel. While the superb quality of the golf initially draws many to Ibis, it is the extraordinary quality of life (what they refer to as The Ibis ExperienceTM) that makes this multi-generational membership well satisfied. Great pride is taken to create as many activities to enjoy as pos- sible. That is important, as this is a year-round south Florida com- munity (more than half the members consider this their permanent home) that is engaged and very active every season. Facilities are open all year and there is always plenty going on, including tennis (16 Har-Tru, HydroGrid-lighted courts), bocce ball, pickleball, water aerobics, card games, kids’ camps, and popular member events held at the clubhouse.

50 \\ FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM FLORIDAGOLFINFO.COM // 51 Golfing on Florida’s Sports Coast

A destination for the adventurous, Florida’s Sports Coast is an unbeatable location for golf enthusiasts. With 18 top-notch courses – and several world-famous ones – you’ll discover over 320 holes designed for golfers of all abilities, making it easy to find the perfect course that suits your game. Many of golf’s top players and designers – names like Arnold Palmer, Tom Lehman, Kurt Sandness, and Robert Trent Jones Sr. – have contributed to the courses on Florida’s Sports Coast, providing a wide range of design styles, exciting layouts, and varying wilderness areas. Coupled with the year- round warm weather of this area, you’ll find every round of golf on Florida’s Sports Coast is both challenging and enjoyable.

SADDLEBROOK Home to two of Florida’s Sports Coast’s most picturesque and playable courses, Saddlebrook is a well-known destination for world-class golf. Both courses were designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer and feature Couse is a Par-71 masterpiece without equal. ponds and gently swaying palm trees.

Don’t miss out on this amazing course, the 425-yard signa- ture hole (the 18th hole) is famously tricky, and you’ll want to tell this golfing story for years to come.

LAKE JOVITA GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB Designed by US Open Champion Tom Lehman and golf course architect Kurt Sandness, the 220-acre Lake Jovita South Course takes full advantage of the unique hilly terrain to create a course that is profes- sional tour quality in every sense. A Par-72 course, you’ll enjoy generous fairways, velvet greens, and immaculate course conditions. Also, the 11th hole features a 94-foot drop from tee to green—the largest natural eleva- tion change in the state of Florida! The 263-acre Lake Jovita North Course is equally impressive. A little more contem- porary in style, this Par-72 course has even greater elevation changes than the South Course. In fact, from the second tee box, you can see five or six miles to the northeast! A delight to play, you don’t want to miss out on this course’s beautiful fairways, soft greens, and challenging layouts. Paspalum greens, rolling fairways, and large square foot practice green, it’s easy to see white-sand bunkers, this 7,079-yard course why this is an unrivaled Florida golf course.

WON’T PAY FOR ITSELF.

Switch to GEICO and save money for the things you love.

Maybe it’s that high-end client dinner. Or the last-minute flight overseas. Doing business is what you love – and it doesn’t come cheap. So switch to GEICO, because you could save 15% or more on car insurance. And that would help make the things you love that much easier to get.
