Community Description: A gated, member-owned, private country club community with 24-hour security, the Stuart Yacht & County Club is one of the premier yachting and golf communities in south Florida.

Offering the welcoming taste of Old Florida complete with views of natural landscapes, golf or water, the club is owned and managed by its members, ensuring that all members have a friendly, first-class experience.

An intimate club with all the amenities of a large resort, the Yacht & Country Club provides value to members who love different elements of living. Golf here is enjoyed by low handicapper and beginner alike thanks to a rich golf program and professional staff.

The Stuart Yacht & Country Club was the first gated community and country club in Martin County, with ground breaking in the late 1960s. It was front-page news at the time and quite a boon to the sleepy town of Stuart.

Today, The Yacht & Country Club continues as a front-runner in the club industry. The clubhouse is the center of social activity offering elegant formal dining, a casual grille and bar, banquet and private dining rooms, and conference facilities.

The course is friendly for the beginner, yet challenging for the low-handicapper. The club's formal dining room and grill room have earned a reputation as one of the area's finest restaurants.

  Croquet has grown among the Yacht & Country Club members and includes members of all ages. The addition of a second court in 2004 resulted in the ranking of The Yacht & Country Club among the top croquet associations on the Treasure Coast.
