About McArthur Golf Club
McArthur Golf Club is in Hobe Sound, Florida, and has two 18-hole courses built on sandy ground. The original was designed by Tom Fazio together with Nick Price, and the second, the Back Yard, is by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. Constructing the original involved moving around a million cubic yards of sand, and the result is a landscape shaped from sand, with dunes, lakes and wetland areas.
- The club's emblem is a milk bottle, a nod to the property's past as a dairy farm.
- The Back Yard roughly doubles the golf at the club and opened in 2023.
- Multiple sets of tees give golfers of different abilities a length that suits them.
- Medalist Golf Club and Loblolly Golf Club are close neighbors in the same part of Hobe Sound.
History of McArthur Golf Club
