PALM CITY, FLORIDA – Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club has retained its designation as a “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses, an Audubon International program. Tim Cann, the Club’s Director of Greens and Grounds, led the effort to maintain sanctuary status on this course. Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club was designated as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary in 2000 and is one of over 900 courses in the world to currently be designated as such.
The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses, endorsed by the United States Golf Association, provides information and guidance to help golf courses preserve and enhance wildlife habitat, and protect natural resources. Golf courses from the United States, Africa, Australia, Canada, Central America, Europe, Mexico, and Southeast Asia have achieved certification in the program.
“Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club has shown a strong commitment to its environmental program. They are to be commended for preserving the natural heritage of the area by protecting the local watershed and providing a sanctuary for wildlife on the golf course property,” said Christine Kane, CEO at Audubon International.
“To reach certification, a course must demonstrate that they are maintaining a high degree of environmental quality in a number of areas,” explained Kane. These categories include: Environmental Planning, Wildlife & Habitat Management, Outreach and Education, Chemical Use Reduction and Safety, Water Conservation, and Water Quality Management. Courses go through a recertification process every three years.
Audubon International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Troy, NY. In addition to golf courses, Audubon International also provides programs for businesses, schools, communities, and new developments with the purpose of delivering high-quality environmental education and facilitating the sustainable management of natural resources.

(Palm City, FL) – Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club’s Director of Greens and Grounds and his golf course maintenance team were selected by Sod Solutions as the “2021 Florida Celebration Course of the Year” award recipients. This award is given annually to talented maintenance professionals who display excellence in maintaining Celebration® or Latitude 36® Bermudagrass golf courses and sports fields. The award is presented annually at the Florida Turfgrass Association Conference & Show.
Harbour Ridge Features two 18-hole golf courses; the River Ridge, a Pete & P.B. Dye designed course with tropical landscapes and vistas that can be played from any of five sets of tees, making it accessible for players of all skill levels, and the Golden Marsh, a Bobby Weed-designed course with tropical charm, swaying palms and sweeping vistas. Both courses feature wall-to-wall Celebration Bermudagrass on the tees, roughs, and fairways.
Cann, the Club’s Director of Greens and Grounds for more than 29 years, explained they were looking for turfgrass that over time would aggressively take over any previous Bermuda remnants on the course. Celebration has done that job quite well and exceeded the Club’s expectations.
Congratulations to Tim and his crew!

After a long year of seclusion and a renewed focus on healthy living, many people are searching for ways to stay active. Tennis is one sport experiencing a new wave of activity, and robust Club programs are adding to the upward swing. According to an annual study by the Physical Activity Council, U.S. tennis participation in 2020 surged 22% from the year prior. This added close to 21.64 million players, up from 4 million in 2019. But why are so many people choosing tennis as their new sport of choice?
Tennis and Club Sports See Increased Activity
The Physical Activity Council studies also showed team sports and indoor gym-based activities lost participants over the past few years. Instead, people gravitated towards outdoor and individual activities like camping and hiking, where they could remain socially distant from others. With over 6.78 million new players, tennis also stands out with the highest rate of growth among traditional sports. Compared to other top sports, tennis can not only be played outdoors, but also has significant spaces between each player. This allows players to be socially distant from one another while also getting their exercise in.
Desirable Health Benefits
Compared to the normal gym workout, tennis is a beneficial and enjoyable way to stay active for people of all ages. Young children learn teamwork, sportsmanship, strategic thinking and problem-solving. Adults and seniors achieve cardiovascular fitness and stronger, healthier bones. It can also help players of all ages achieve a stronger sense of balance, coordination, reaction time, and agility.
A New Way to Socialize
“Our Members have really enjoyed getting together on the courts,” says Fabio Vasconcellos, Director of Tennis at Harbour Ridge. “Getting in a good workout is great for a healthy lifestyle, but friendly competition and social interaction are delivering valuable mental benefits to our players.”
Industry experts agree tennis has great benefits for mental, social, and emotional health. Laughter and fun combined with smashing tennis balls across the court can help manage stress levels and clear the mind.
Harbour Ridge Tennis
With a well-appointed tennis complex including eight Har-Tru courts and one stadium court, it is no wonder that the tennis program at Harbour Ridge was recently awarded Tennis Facility of the Year by the USTA. The Peter Burwash International-managed tennis program is very active, with weekly socials, round-robin tournaments, and men’s and women’s tennis team competitions. Social events revolving around tennis are common, and the tennis center is a hub of activity at the Club.
The Lakeside Club tennis facilities are just one of the robust list of resort-style amenities that make the private residential country club lifestyle at Harbour Ridge second-to-none.
Harbour Ridge offers the very best of boating and golf course living. The heart and social epicenter of Harbour Ridge is our 45,000 square foot Clubhouse that is perfectly designed to take full advantage of the panoramic vistas of the St. Lucie River.

Harbour Ridge is excited to announce a new addition to the golf community – Eagle’s Bay Indoor Golf Simulator. The new indoor golf simulator offers a unique experience that is very similar to playing on the course. Club Members can now take a lesson, play around with friends and improve their swing at Eagle’s Bay. Discover what the Harbour Ridge Golf Pros had to say about this innovative amenity.
What prompted Harbour Ridge to add the Golf Simulator room?
Harbour Ridge’s established Golf Academy recently advised the community to invest in this top-of-the-line golf technology. The Foresight Sports, GC Hawk is an overhead-mounted launch monitor that provides the game’s most accurate performance data. The GC Hawk delivers accuracy with its state-of-the-art imaging technology. Golf instructors believe that the simulator will better portray their lesson approach by club and ball data. With its massive ball capture range, the simulator will hone in on Members’ ability, consistency, and skill in the sport.
Is the Golf Simulator only for experienced golfers?
A common misconception with the simulator is that you must be a Golf Pro to use it, however, that is not the case. All golfers and non-golfers alike can find a way to benefit from the use of the simulator. The user-friendly, GC Hawk captures shots from players of both right or left-handedness and with every club in your bag. Golf staff recommends bringing your clubs and are fully equipped for training Members on how to use the simulator. Club Members will have a solid grasp on using the simulator after just a few rounds.
How does the experience of using the simulator compare to golfing on a course?
Like many other sports, having a good day on the course is heavily reliant on the weather. GC Hawk brings the joy of golfing indoors where you can play no matter what the weather conditions are that day. The true-to-life game experience delivers a whole new level of freedom and flexibility. Club golf instructors are looking forward to focusing more time on the key issues holding their Members back without having to worry about canceled lessons due to poor weather conditions. One exciting feature Members can look forward to is the “Internet Conditions” feature, allowing you to play the course you choose with the same weather conditions for that given day.
How many people can use the Golf Simulator at once?
If you’re looking to enjoy a night of golf with friends, the golf simulator can host up to four people at one time. Look out for upcoming special events where the Golf Academy will host leagues, closest to the pin, and long drive contests that will allow multiple Members of the community to participate at one time. The indoor golf simulator offers 18 courses to choose from and has plans of adding two courses to the library each season based on the community’s feedback.
Eagle Bay’s Golf Simulator is just one of the many amenities Harbour Ridge has to offer. Harbour Ridge is the very best of waterfront, country club living. The heart and social epicenter of Harbour Ridge is our 45,000 square foot Clubhouse that is perfectly designed to take full advantage of the panoramic vistas of the picturesque St. Lucie River.

Dye and Joe Lee, and redesigned by Bobby Weed in 2018, wind along the river and throughout our community offering breathtaking views – and Audubon certified!

What has changed for you within the last year—have you become glued to your hand sanitizer, began a fitness journey, or explored a new hobby? From sanitation stations to touchless entries, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed not only the landscape of real estate development but the priorities of buyers and renters as well. As the world has become accustomed to spending copious amounts of time at home, new amenities have redefined private club communities and become essential for homebuyers. Discover what health amenities the Treasure Coast’s Harbour Ridge residents cannot live without in 2021.
Outdoor Space

Why not lay poolside with a drink in hand too?
The Clubhouse hosts some of the best spots to enjoy St. Lucie River views on the patio and alongside the boardwalk or gather under the stars at one of Harbour Ridge’s fire pits and grills—the possibilities are endless. Our residents aren’t the only ones who get to enjoy waterfront living. The Harbour Ridge dog park features agility courses, fenced and shaded areas, walking trails and water stations for our furry friends of all sizes. Whether looking for a day in the sun, or a space to enjoy a picnic outdoors, Harbour Ridge has something for everyone.
Fitness
While public gyms have been creative in following social distancing, capacity, and sanitizing guidelines, the future of fitness centers lies in smaller, intimate spaces that offer both privacy and safety. The 22,000-square foot Lakeside Spa, Fitness and Tennis complex offers a full range of cardio and strength equipment including TRX, complemented by Pilates equipment training, personal training and massages. Lakeside is the perfect place to begin your journey of health and fitness.

Each hole provides the perfect mix of stunning views and “playability”. Harbour Ridge’s tennis facilities are second to none. The tennis program is very active with weekly socials, round-robin tournaments, and men’s and women’s tennis team competitions. After teeing up on the green or serving up a game of tennis, cool off in the club’s state-of-the-art lap pool. Like fitness, homebuyers today are drawn to additional health and wellness features like Harbour Ridge’s conscious menus offering mouth-watering salads, juice and energizing smoothies, and amenities that pamper. At the Spa and Salon at Lakeside, residents enjoy European-style spa services with a full complement of treatments available for the entire family.
On-property Entertaining
Those who wish to “go to the office” without leaving home often seek out this option in their social lives too. As a result, private dining rooms and event spaces are becoming more popular in 2021. At Harbour Ridge, residents can enjoy a world-class meal without leaving the Club. The Grille Room offers Sunday brunch, lunch, dinner and drinks in a casual, comfortable setting that encourages easy conversation with impeccable service. The Riverview Dining Room and Eagle’s Nest Lounge boast breathtaking views and elegant dining experiences. For those yearning for a place for family and friends to enjoy live music and cocktails while watching the beautiful sunset colors reflect on the estuary waters, Dockside Pavilion is the spot.

Members also have the benefit of sharing the delectable cuisine of the Club with friends and family at your next party through Harbour Ridge’s catering service.

This small-town charm immediately resonates with visitors and residents and can be easily explored by a quick water taxi ride across the St. Lucie River. Historic Downtown Stuart has garnered national attention as it was named winner of the 2020 Great Places in Florida award, as well as the 2016 Happiest Seaside Town in America.
Wide Open Spaces
Harbour Ridge is recognized for 20 years of certification as an Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary, a testament to the community’s valiant efforts in local wildlife conservation and natural preservation. The Rookery proves that Florida’s wildlife lives alongside humanity at its own pace. Catching a glimpse of dolphins swimming by in the river, watching sandhill cranes stride across a green, or witnessing a bobcat peer out from behind a bush are frequent occurrences at Harbour Ridge. A collection of mangroves on the water’s edge, The Rookery serves as a shelter and feeding spot for many of Florida’s animals, but unique to this community is the abundance of egrets that take flight at sunrise and return every sunset.
Most of the land area surrounding Harbour Ridge looks untouched by time. Driving around you will see undeveloped areas that are still filled with old Spanish Oak and other natural flora that perfectly depict the “Old Florida” beauty. Most of these untouched wooded areas are state nature preserves. For a length of the Treasure Coast beaches, you’ll be transported to a time before anyone touched the sands of Florida. It’s easy to find wide-open spaces and plenty of room to grab a piece of nature to yourself; something we’ve all found more valuable these days.
