In a sea of South Florida golf communities, only one has earned its bragging rights among golfers and homeowners alike. Tesoro Club, a private golf club community just north of Palm Beach, has seen an influx of residents not only from northern states but also from more crowded neighborhoods to the south. Members have sought out this Treasure Coast jewel for its championship-level fairways, gated lifestyle, and serene natural beauty. Learn firsthand what life behind the gates is like for Tesoro Club Members.
Open Spaces to Enjoy
Though Tesoro Club spans 1,490 acres, much of this land is dedicated to natural preserves and conservation areas. The abundance of open green spaces creates a tranquil atmosphere that defines the community. Whether residents are entering through the main gates or teeing off on the golf course, they’re surrounded by picturesque waterways, nature preserves, and abundant wildlife.
A South Florida resident for decades, Betty Modell was captivated by the recent transformation at Tesoro Club and decided to purchase a resale home within the community. “The new developers have restored the Club to its original majesty, and that’s why we chose to move here from Jupiter,” exclaimed Mrs. Modell. “It’s so peaceful. The main drive is stunning with its oak trees and hanging moss. It’s truly beautiful and unlike anything further south.”
Homes with Picture-Perfect Views
Residents also have a unique opportunity to build a new construction home within this natural enclave. In 2023, Toll Brothers and WCI Communities introduced two upscale neighborhoods, with model homes available for daily tours. The Signature Homes Collection, featuring builders such as AR Homes, Ecclestone Signature Homes, GHO Homes and Janssen Custom Homes, offers a wide range of personalized options from charming cottages to grand estates.
Originally from Philadelphia, Susan and Sam Miner are building their new home with GHO Homes and are excited to spend their winters at Tesoro Club. Susan shared, “We’re thrilled about purchasing new construction with the latest designs, as well as energy-saving and smart home technologies. Our construction manager has also been fabulous. They’ve made every effort to work with us and have responded quickly to our every request and concern.”
Regardless of the builder, every home within Tesoro Club provides stunning views of the surrounding golf courses, lakes, and preserves. “Our home overlooks some of the tributaries on the St. Lucie River, and it almost feels like a little Venice, Italy,” shared Mrs. Modell, who has chosen to remodel one of the existing homes within the community. “We have so many egret-type birds flying around. Ospreys, deer, foxes… there’s just so much wildlife. It’s unbelievable.”
A Show-Stopping Florida Golf Course
Tesoro Club appeals to both prospective homeowners and golfers seeking a top-tier championship experience. The Palmer Course, stretching from 4,756 to 7,316 yards with five tee options per hole, weaves through wetlands and lush natural preserves, offering picturesque views throughout. It has become a venue for numerous annual PGA tournaments, and the Tesoro Club golf staff curates a vibrant calendar of events catering to all skill levels.
Avid golfers Keith and Jodi Good of Reading, Pennsylvania, are expected to close on their new Signature Home with Ecclestone by the end of this month. “We were drawn to the beauty of the nature preserve and the golf course,” shared Mr. Good. “All our experiences with the golf staff and community members have been wonderful. We truly can’t say enough. We are looking forward to the future and to spending time with our grandchildren, enjoying all the activities Tesoro Club has to offer our entire family.”
Modern Amenities for Fitness and Fun
In addition to the Palmer Course, Tesoro Club boasts a range of contemporary amenities tailored to modern lifestyles. The Swim & Racquet Club features 11 pickleball courts, nine Har-Tru tennis courts, two bocce courts, and a junior Olympic pool. The three-story landmark Clubhouse is a central feature, offering a cutting-edge Fitness Center, spa services, and a well-stocked golf pro shop. Dining options include The Cabanas, serving tropical drinks by the pool, and The Terrace Grill, featuring gourmet sandwiches, salads, and burgers in a beautiful indoor/outdoor setting.
“I’m expecting several of my grandchildren and their significant others, and I can’t wait to show them around,” shared Mrs. Modell. “I’ll take them to the Clubhouse for brunch and then to the Swim & Racquet Club for swimming and pickleball. The pickleball staff give you ice towels and water as well, which is incredibly nice.”
A Premier Treasure Coast Location
Tesoro Club’s location on Florida’s Treasure Coast allows Members to be within driving distance of their favorite South and Central Florida venues. Marinas, dining, shopping, arts and culture, and endless entertainment and professional sports are abundant throughout the area. Palm Beach International Airport is less than an hour away to the south, while the Orlando International Airport is just 75 minutes to the north.
Joseph and Rita Ianno, both working professionals with grown children, recently made the move from nearby Jupiter to an existing home at Tesoro Club. “As the kids started to leave the nest, we looked into joining a private golf club,” said Mr. Ianno. “We were familiar with Tesoro Club and its reputation for championship golf, so we considered joining as a non-resident member. Once we entered the gates of Tesoro, we knew we wanted to live here. The beauty, tranquility, and value far exceed anything in Palm Beach County.”
