ABOUT JONATHAN'S LANDING GOLF CLUB AND COMMUNITY

Jonathan's Landing is a premier private club community located in Jupiter, Florida, just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean. Set within a gated, golf cart-accessible environment, the Club offers a distinctive blend of coastal living, natural preserve landscapes, and a highly active member lifestyle. Its location offers the rare combination of proximity to the beach and a sense of privacy, space, and resort-style tranquility. The Club's history dates back to 1696, when Jonathan Dickinson first arrived at the Jupiter Inlet, a legacy that continues to inspire its identity today.

This vision is supported by a mission to deliver high-quality, market-driven amenities and personalized service that enhance member satisfaction, strengthen community engagement, and support long-term club vitality. At the heart of the Club is The Village, a vibrant social and lifestyle hub located just five minutes from the Atlantic Ocean.

Complementing these facilities is a 13,000-square-foot Wellness Center featuring a fitness center, spa, and salon, along with two dining outlets—The Landing and Pub 1696—plus multiple venues for events and gatherings. The Village also features a recently renovated Village Golf Course designed by Beau Welling Design in 2024, along with enhanced practice facilities. Old Trail represents the Club's championship golf environment, set within a pristine natural preserve in Jupiter Farms.

While golf is the primary focus at Old Trail, its expansive practice areas and natural setting complement the broader athletic and lifestyle offerings of the Club, with dining available at The Perch.
