Jack Nicklaus-inspired exclusive golf course community
Seventy-three PGA Tour victories. Eighteen major championships. One big love letter to South Florida in the form of a premier golf course community. Jack Nicklaus, the man behind the iconic Muirfield Village Golf Club in his home state of Ohio, wanted to replicate the experience in his adopted state. So the “Golden Bear” designed an 18-hole course that would become the centerpiece of Bear’s Club, an ultra-exclusive community nestled among 400 pristine acres in the southwest corner of Jupiter, less than 10 miles from his current home. “Jack Nicklaus has designed courses all over the world, but he only owns two – Muirfield Village and Bear’s Club,” says Vince Marotta, managing partner at Illustrated Properties and specialist in luxury real estate sales. “That’s an important distinction, because designing courses for developers is one thing, but there’s no committees here. He runs his club like a czar, and the best clubs are run that way, like Augusta National.”
Jordan, Els among big-name residents
Bear’s Club opened on the last day of 1999, and over the past 25 years, it has become one of the most sought-after golf communities in the country, attracting the type of big-name buyers who can afford the pinnacle of luxury living. Among its most well-known residents are four-time major champion Ernie Els and six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan, who recently purchased a $16 million home here. “When a customer calls me and says price is no option, I tell them they have two choices – live on the ocean or live at Bear’s Club,” Marotta says. Housing prices range from $2.6 million for a four-bedroom villa to $42 million for a 23,000-square-foot Palladian-style waterfront mansion. In between is a collection of stunning multimillion-dollar homes featuring Spanish- and French-influenced architectural styles and ranging in size from 3,100 to more than 10,000 square feet. “What’s great about the housing is that it’s very low density. The east side is all estate homes on 1-acre lots fronting the golf course,” Marotta says.
Modern multi level family homes are also available in Bear`s Club neighborhood.

Initial membership fees can be as much as $500,000
Homes are built around a meticulously maintained 18-hole layout that spans more than 7,100 yards of gently rolling, wooded terrain strategically populated with water hazards and more than 100 bunkers. Homeowners are not automatically granted club membership. Prospective members must apply, and it can take up to two years to be accepted, says Matthew Dugow, a real estate agent with Compass whose portfolio includes properties in the community. Membership requires an initiation fee of $350,000 to $500,000, and annual fees range from $20,000 to $30,000. Nicklaus’ wife, Barbra, had input into the design of the course’s sprawling, multi-story clubhouse, whose Mediterranean motif is the inspiration behind much of the residential aesthetic. Outside of the community, residents have access to Jupiter’s buzzy waterfront. Residents can store their boats at Cypress Island Marina and The Bluffs Marina, both within minutes of the community.
Cypress Island gated community has its own marina in the Bear's Club neighborhood.
The Juno Beach Pier offers picturesque ocean views in Bear's Club.

1000 North attracts an upscale clientele
The second floor of the clubhouse features a dining room, but it is open only to members. However, most residents have their own personal chefs, Marotta says. As for dining out, Jordan and Els are partners in 1000 North, an upscale restaurant on the Jupiter waterfront. “You can have dinner overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and watch the boats go by,” Marotta says. “Many of the top 100 golfers in the world live in the area, so they will often frequent the restaurant. And you have to remember that Palm Beach County is basically a winter surrogate for the New York area, so if you don’t have a good restaurant, you’re not going to be in business for long. Because all these guys have personal chefs, when I see a place that has a lot of Bear’s Club members, I know it’s good.” When home-cooking is on the menu, residents have access to a nearby Publix. There are 16 retail stores and eight restaurants at Harbourside Place, an upscale retail center in downtown Jupiter.
Bear's Club locals can find Modern American fare served by waterfront at 1000 North restaurant.
Publix is the preferred grocery store for Bear's Club residents.

Gated, roaming security protects residents
Getting in and out of Bear’s Den is easy for residents, but there are only two access points, and there is not only gated security, but roaming security throughout the community. Donald Ross Road on the community’s southern edge provides direct access to the oceanfront less than 3 miles away. Florida State Road A1A runs adjacent to the community’s west side and allows for convenient travel up and down the coast. Palm Beach International Airport is about 18 miles away.
