1. Audubon Certified Championship Golf

Golf lovers relish soaking in the area’s breathtaking natural beauty from the two 18-hole championship golf courses. Designed by Pete & P.B. Dye, the River Ridge course provides photo-worthy opportunities at every turn, winding through natural wetlands, high bluffs, and towering trees to overlook the quiet waters of the St. Lucie River. The Golden Marsh course, designed by Bobby Weed, is set amidst a 20-acre nature preserve, surrounded by natural lakes and marshes that add both an element of beauty and challenge to the course. Each course is also a beautiful natural sanctuary for area’s wildlife, ensuring that watching sandhill cranes stride across the greens or witnessing a bobcat peer out from behind a bush are frequent occurrences. Each course has also retained its designation as a “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” since 2000.

2. The Waterway to Tranquility

Nestled on the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, Harbour Ridge’s shoreline encompasses two miles of riverfront that beckon residents to relax and explore. The community’s eastern exposure on the River leads to breathtaking sunrises and a serene start to any day. Paddleboarding and kayaking across the estuary to downtown Stuart is a delightful way to discover aquatic wildlife up close while staring in awe at the beautiful South Florida surroundings. Three private marinas with a combined 98 slips provide the perfect launch point to enjoy incomparable fishing in the “Sailfish Capital of the World.”
