Mariner Sands Country Club (Blue Course)

Overview: The Blue Course is one of two private 18-hole layouts at Mariner Sands Country Club in Stuart. Frank Duane designed the course, which the club's course page lists from 6,803 to 5,704 yards on the men's tees and from 5,291 to 4,784 yards on the ladies' tees. The Florida-style setting uses water, trees and gently changing ground to frame a par-72 round.

History: Mariner Sands' official history traces the community's first development phase to 1979 and identifies today's Blue Course as the former Green Course. The club records a Blue Course renovation planned for 2023, while its history page does not give a reliable original opening date for this specific routing. That field is therefore left blank rather than confusing the community date with the course date.

Did You Know? The halfway house on the former Green Course, now the Blue Course, is called Tony's House. Mariner Sands says it honors Tony Bongiovanni, who worked at the club for two decades after joining the staff in 1979.
