Palm Cove Golf & Yacht Club

Overview: Palm Cove Golf & Yacht Club is an 18-hole semi-private course in Palm City, with a par-71 Chi Chi Rodriguez signature layout listed at 6,340 yards. The course sits within the Palm Cove community and uses tree-lined fairways, open spaces and views toward the St. Lucie River. The facility also has a driving range, short-game practice areas and a pro shop.

History: Current Palm Cove material presents Rodriguez as the signature designer, while OpenGolfAPI lists the present routing as a 2002 course. Earlier records are not uniform: Golf Inc. describes a 1996 opening and a 2002 Gary Player Design renovation involving Rodriguez and Richard Robbins, while other golf records credit Gary Player. The imported date therefore refers to the current signature routing, not necessarily the original development.

Did You Know? Palm Cove’s identity is shaped by the St. Lucie River as much as by its residential setting. The course’s official description pairs broad river views with tree-lined fairways and open spaces, making the river landscape part of the routing’s visual and strategic character.
