Seminole Golf Club

Est. 1929 · Donald Ross (1929); ongoing restoration by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner (2020s)
Why we love this place

We love Seminole for its restraint and its wind. Donald Ross found a masterpiece in the dunes and never over-decorated it, and the ocean breeze does the rest, turning a sub-7,000-yard course into a thinking player's exam. It is old-world golf at its purest, the kind of place that teaches you the game.

About Seminole Golf Club

Seminole was developed by New York financier E.F. Hutton and designed by Donald Ross, with construction in 1929 and play beginning around the turn of 1930 on a windswept, dune-crossed site in Juno Beach, Florida. Ross used the property's natural sand ridges to build elevation changes and angled green sites rarely found in flat South Florida, and the course is widely regarded among his finest work, alongside Pinehurst No. 2. Its 1929 pink-stucco clubhouse remains a landmark. Ben Hogan famously used Seminole as a spring tune-up before the Masters, deepening the club's mystique. Long one of golf's most private enclaves, it opened to a wider audience in 2020 for the televised TaylorMade Driving Relief charity match and in 2021 hosted the Walker Cup, its first USGA championship. The club later embarked on the largest restoration in its history, led by architects Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner.
