Hobe Sound, United States
Opened in 2025 on 1,500 acres of former orange grove and historic polo grounds in Hobe Sound, Atlantic Fields is Discovery Land Company's most ambitious Florida project to date — and its centrepiece is a championship Tom Fazio design of the highest order. The par-72 layout winds through the property's interconnected lake and canal systems with subtle elevation changes that evoke Florida's natural dunes, while TifTuf Bermuda fairways and TifEagle Bermuda greens deliver immaculate year-round conditions. Sitting adjacent to Michael Jordan's Grove XXIII in what has become the most concentrated pocket of elite private golf in North America, Atlantic Fields also offers an innovative 10-hole short course with over 120 routing options — a facility as thoughtfully designed as the championship course beside it.

Atlantic Fields Golf Course is an 18-hole private course designed by Tom Fazio, located within the Atlantic Fields residential community in Hobe Sound, Martin County, Florida. The course is part of a Discovery Land Company development set across more than 1,500 acres of native Florida landscape.
The course winds through the property's lake and canal systems, incorporating mature native landscaping that reflects the surrounding natural environment. A distinctive design element is the use of subtle elevation changes that mimic Florida's naturally occurring dune formations, an uncommon feature in the typically flat terrain of South Florida. The routing integrates water features throughout, with the lake and canal systems serving as both aesthetic and strategic elements.
In addition to the main 18-hole course, the facility includes a 10-hole Short Course and a Discovery Performance Center equipped with integrated TrackMan technology. Clubhouse amenities are provided through the Golf House and Golf Diner, known as Pineapples, along with comfort stations distributed around the course. The broader community encompasses equestrian facilities and borders the historic Hobe Sound Polo Grounds.
Tom Fazio, who is noted as a local resident, is one of the most prolific course architects in American golf, known for his work at numerous high-profile private clubs. The Atlantic Fields course reflects his characteristic approach of blending naturalistic design with strategic variety, adapted here to the subtropical Florida setting.
