Tucked between the Jupiter inlet and the South run of the Loxahatchee River lies a tropical par-3 golf course that is perfect for those looking to pick up the game for the first time, or for those looking to sharpen their short game. Compared to the Short Course at Augusta National, this little hideaway in Jupiter’s inlet district deserves a try if you’ve never been. Jupiter Dunes par-3 golf is a good time regardless of your skill level.

Great Way to Learn

Jupiter—and Northern Palm Beach County as a whole—are renowned for having some of the best golf in the country. But that can be intimidating if you’ve never played before. As stated on the course website, “Where else can you walk in the sea air, play an affordable 18 holes in two and a half hours, learn without frustration…and be welcomed warmly no matter what stage of your golf “life” you’re at? Nowhere else.”

With lessons and clinics starting at just twenty dollars [as of June 2023] there are few better places for you or your family members to swing a club for the first time, gain enough confidence to leave the range for the first time, or hone the deficiencies in your game. Beginners can start out with just a half-hour lesson, and packages/bundles are available if you catch the bug.

Leagues, Events, Membership

For everyone looking for some consistent, relaxed golf with a little friendly competition, Jupiter Dunes offers leagues and membership options, along with weekly events. Jupiter Dunes is known for having one of the best ladies’ leagues around, and for “the Bandits” a group with weekly events and tournaments.

Play Par 3 Golf at Jupiter Dunes

“Situated by the ocean on one of Jupiter’s natural estuaries, the course was designed to replicate what you would find for a second shot on a regulation-length course. Wonderful conditioning, undulating greens, thoughtful bunkering, natural and manmade hazards…all maintained and manicured with private club expectations.” With some of the most affordable rates around, Jupiter Dunes is a great place to learn or be able to play more frequently. Ideally located on North A1A, it’s easy to grab drinks, lunch, or dinner after your round or lesson at any of the phenomenal spots in the Inlet District or Harbourside. Or head to the beach! Golf at Jupiter Dunes is a unique and rare experience, and just another reason why people love living in and visiting Jupiter.
