EMERALD DUNES CLUBA CLUB WHERE the game’s simple and enduring virtues are embraced and nurtured,

where the privileged members enjoy one of the very finest courses in the nation, just minutes from

Palm Beach, Emerald Dunes is a sanctuary for those who love the game of golf.

The moment members enter the gates of Emerald Dunes, they leave the stress of everyday life

behind and find themselves in a serene environment dedicated entirely to the enjoyment of golf.

There is no pressure to rush for a tee time, because there are no tee times. When members make

their way to the first tee, at whatever moment that may be, they know and appreciate that they will

have the course virtually all to themselves.

Whether it’s playing 18 holes in the company of a few good friends or in solitude, members set

their own pace—perhaps less than three hours but rarely more than four—on a golf course rich

with exceptional natural beauty and wildlife.

WHEN AMERICA’S pre-eminent golf course architect Tom

Fazio unveiled Emerald Dunes in 1990, it was greeted with unanimous

acclaim, quickly climbing onto numerous lists of the best courses in

the state and nation. Working with nearly 200 acres of prime golf

terrain, including an exceptional run of

natural dunes, Fazio made the most of

this opportunity and crafted a series of

visually spectacular and challenging holes.

True to its name, the course was indeed,

a rare gem.

Now more than two decades

later, Emerald Dunes has been polished

to a new level of luster thanks to a multi-

million-dollar refinement personally

supervised by Fazio. Every hole has been

enhanced, whether at the tee, the fairway or the green. At the same

time, a vast amount of foliage has been planted along the perimeter,

thus ensuring privacy and seclusion while enhancing the natural

beauty of each hole. The end result is an aesthetically breathtaking,

versatile and stimulating experience for players of all levels.

THE GOLF COURSE

TO M FA Z I O

Consisting of 18 holes and five sets of tees, the total

yardage ranges from just under 5,200 to over 7,100

yards, with a par of 72. There is always a generous

amount of variety and movement at Emerald Dunes.

Almost each of the long holes bends gently or sharply

to the right or left, and with an 80-foot elevation

differential from the highest to the lowest point of the

course, many of these holes

also move up and down.

With more than 100

bunkers and 60 acres of

lakes, a player is ensured

of recurrent encounters

with water, sometimes on

the left, sometimes on the

right, but rarely straight

ahead. The exposure tends to lurk subtly at the side,

coaxing and cajoling, forcing the player to decide—

should he play it safe or should he overpower it?

The par threes test a player’s talent while rewarding

a well-struck shot. Water is ever present, adding peril

but never prohibiting a player from successfully

navigating a hole. Also skillfully positioned but never

threatening, the bunkers on the short holes cleverly

add to the challenge.

Particularly unique to Fazio’s master plan renovation

are the characteristics of the cart paths. Unlike the

typical, hard, concrete paths commonly implemented

at most golf clubs, the paths at Emerald Dunes consist

of crushed native coquina shells complemented with

old-world hand-set pavers; a subtle accent that

produces a substantial and pleasing impact to the

already splendid natural

scenery.

In designing this course,

Fazio focused on producing

a truly memorable golf

experience. Using the broad

palette available to him—

the deep blue lakes, the

glittering white sand, the

golden hues of the native grasses and of course the

emerald dunes—he created 18 stunning portraits, each

a masterpiece of composition, texture and color.

Today, more than ever, this is a golf haven designed

to please the player’s eye, test the mind and muscle,

and soothe the soul. A sanctuary for those who cherish

the sport and respect the game in a most natural

and peaceful setting, Emerald Dunes is truly a classic

golf course.

“When Emerald Dunes f irst opened in 1990, the golf course was quickly ranked as one ofthe best in the state of Florida. Following the recent master plan renovation that we did in2011, the golf course is now amongst the top in the country.” — Tom Fazio

THE SHORT GAME AREA& 19THHOLE

THE CLUB’S new short game area is the ideal setting for players to hone

their skills at chipping, pitching, putting and bunker shots. Set across four acres,

it begins with a 19th or “bye” hole for settling tied matches, which may be played

anywhere from 85 to 135 yards. There are multiple target greens, surrounded by

sand traps, swales and chipping areas—all of which replicate the challenges of the

course. Everything was designed to USGA specifications by Fazio, including the

9,500-square-foot putting green. And just steps away is a brand-new verandah,

paved with reclaimed French limestone and landscaped with a wide variety of

decorative trees and plants, where members may take a break and relax with a cool

drink. So whether it’s before or after a round or simply just to work on the game,

practice is always enjoyed.

THE DRIVING RANGE at Emerald Dunes is a mere chip shot from the

first and tenth tees, but for many reasons, it can be hard for players to tear themselves

away to the course.

� There isn’t just one tee area, there are two—facing each other and

separated by more than 300 yards—allowing for practice in any kind

of wind conditions.

� There aren’t just flagsticks for alignment, there are strategically positioned

target greens—five of them situated from 50 to 225 yards and flanked with

bunkers—all designed by Fazio to mimic the greens and bunker

configurations on the golf course.

THE DRIVING RANGE& TEACHING CENTER

Add golfer on screen and retouch wires

� There’s a shallow-faced sand trap for working on a full

range of fairway bunker shots.

� There aren’t ordinary practice balls. The club standard is brand new

Titleist Pro V1 golf balls.

� The opposite end of the eight-acre facility hosts a 1,500-square-foot

Teaching Center, equipped with two teaching bays where the

outstanding staff of golf professionals use video and state-of-the-art

computer technology to help members improve their games. Included

is a club fitting and repair center, and just next to the center are four

mini chipping greens and a USGA putting green.

Combine all of this with the new short game area, and clearly Emerald

Dunes offers its members the finest practice facilities imaginable.

club fare. By sourcing most of

their meats and produce from

locally owned businesses,

thanks to a talented and adventurous chef, the menu changes

seasonally so that the bill of fare remains fresh and tantalizing.
