The year-round Osprey Cove course is set against a backdrop of sweeping marshes, tidal inlets and nature conservation areas. At every turn, the breathtaking panorama of the Lowcountry envelops you. The newly renovated clubhouse offers sweeping views of the course and the marsh beyond.
Designed by Mark McCumber & Associates, the layout is a testament to McCumber’s commitment to establishing a course that is defined by the natural characteristics of the land and river. Osprey Cove has earned numerous accolades and been listed among Golfweek’s “Top 5 in Georgia” and Golf and Travel’s “Top 100 Modern Courses.” Golf Digest rated the course five stars and designated it: “A gem…must play if you’re within 100 miles.”
With social membership, you will enjoy tennis, fine dining, fitness facilities and classes, access to the private boat dock, RV/boat storage and clubs to satisfy every interest. Add a golf membership and a nationally-acclaimed course is at your disposal. Send me more about this home in Osprey Cove!
Life on the Water
Water is integral to life at Osprey Cove. With the St. Marys River running through the spectacular marshes that cozy up to the community, and the ocean within easy reach.
Members love kayaking the river, meandering down the boardwalk along the river’s edge, taking a sunset cruise, grabbing a drink with friends at the marshfront Tiki Hut, or fishing for tarpon, Spanish and king mackerel, cobia and reds. Club members have two easy means of access to the Intracoastal Waterway–they can venture out from their home via their own private dock or by way of the community’s dock.
Just minutes away is the Cumberland Island National Seashore, the largest and southernmost barrier island in Georgia. Here you’ll find 18 miles of white-sand beaches perfect for beachcombing. You’ll also catch a glimpse of wild horses, dolphins, sea turtles, shore birds and much more. And, of course, for those who choose a marsh or riverfront home or homesite, the joys of life on the water are never-ending. Send me more about this home in Osprey Cove!
Real Estate Options
Whether you are looking for a quality pre-built home or want to build your own vision on the perfect homesite, Osprey Cove offers you compelling options. Everything from smaller, maintenance-free single-family homes to dramatic custom homes are available. And if you want to build, choose from among homesites with views of the golf course, lake and preserves or dockable homesites with views unrivaled in the area.
Best of all, Osprey Cove is a well-established, financially secure community with all amenities in place, including recently completed upgrades valued at $3 million. Add in a moderate year-round climate and you can buy with confidence. Send me more about this home in Osprey Cove!

About Sailfish Point
Sailfish Point is a 532-acre sea island community of 520 residences located at the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island on southeast Florida’s Atlantic coast. Offering privacy, security and premium amenities in a natural setting surrounded by ocean and inlets, Sailfish residents live in spacious beachfront homes and intimate oceanfront condos, golf-view villas and townhomes with private docks.
Stretching along ocean and river, the community’s Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course sets a tone of sporting excellence. Prestigious and private, the club requires no tee times for play. It was named one of Golf Digest’s 10 Best New Remodeled Courses for 2008. Send me more about this home in Sailfish Point!
Golf & Water Together
First completed in 1981, the course was completely renovated by its original designer, Jack Nicklaus. Every hole has a water feature, providing views of all three of the surrounding bodies of water—Atlantic Ocean, Indian River and St. Lucie Inlet.
From the Sailfish Point clubhouse, play begins just steps from the practice area, then moves along the island to culminate in the par-4 signature 18th hole that has been dubbed “Window on the Sea” for its remarkable ocean view. Send me more about this home in Sailfish Point!
Direct Boating Access
Sailfish Point is like no other community in Florida, offering access from its private marina to open water in just five minutes. The Indian River, the Atlantic and the St. Lucie Inlet all await, offering a vast variety of fishing and boating experiences from a luxurious sea island base.
Often homeowners take their boats over to the city of Stuart for lunch and a little shopping. Some cruise to the Bahamas, approximately 75 miles east. Others make the day’s jaunt across the state via the Okeechobee Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico. Send me more about this home in Sailfish Point!
24-Hour Security
Homeowners enjoy their beachfront property in freedom and security. Sailfish Point Security is a private entity providing 24-hour patrols of roads, waterways and beaches. Security clears all guests, contractors, service personnel and residents.
