Palm City sits in Martin County along Florida's Treasure Coast, a stretch of the Atlantic seaboard that has long attracted serious golfers priced out of — or simply uninterested in — the more frenetic resort corridors to the south. The area's slower pace and natural landscape, dominated by the St. Lucie River estuary and abundant wetlands, tend to shape the golf here: more considered, more rooted in the land than the manufactured spectacle you find further down I-95.
The Fox Club is a private club experience in that tradition — a members' course designed for repeat play and genuine familiarity rather than one-time resort traffic. That kind of layout rewards course knowledge over raw power, and the name itself suggests the wooded, wildlife-rich character common to Treasure Coast courses carved through Florida scrub and wetland corridors.
Martin County has made a point of protecting its environment more aggressively than neighboring counties, which gives golf here a different feel — more natural edges, more wildlife, less manicured artificiality than the courses dominating Palm Beach County to the south.
