Bear's Club Homes for Sale

Only by invitation. On top of that, the membership is capped at 325 by Town of Jupiter Ordinance 2-22, which provides that clubhouse memberships shall not exceed that number and that any increase requires Town Council review and approval. Town records show the club at the cap in 2022 and 2023. This is an unusual situation: the ceiling is a municipal condition rather than a club policy, so the club cannot simply raise it.

We do not know, and we would rather say so than guess. The club publishes no fee information anywhere. Third-party sites give figures that contradict each other badly: one lists a $350,000 bond with 75 percent refundable and $31,200 in annual dues, and elsewhere on the same site lists $250,000 with $23,550; another publishes $90,000 and $25,000 alongside a disclaimer that its own numbers are estimates that should not be relied upon. Since none can be corroborated, we publish none of them. The association dues are knowable, at roughly $1,700 to $2,000 per month from listing records.

This is not established in any source we could verify, and it is genuinely important, so treat it as an open question rather than assuming. At some clubs a membership travels with the house as a covenant; at others it does not. We found no primary document either way for The Bear's Club, and we are not willing to infer it. Anyone transacting here should have the membership position confirmed in writing as a condition of the deal.

Eighteen holes designed by Jack Nicklaus, playing 7,164 yards at par 72, with a course rating of 72.0 and a slope of 146 across eight sets of tees running from about 5,050 to 7,261 yards. There are 354 bunkers, styled after Royal Melbourne. Nicklaus renovated all eighteen holes with work completed in late 2023, keeping the original routing. A nine-hole par-three course of about 1,200 yards was approved in 2002, and there is a driving range and a Nicklaus performance academy.

Roughly 100 residences, though no authoritative count exists. Town of Jupiter planning records track approvals from 113 units originally, down to 100 in 1999, then back up through later amendments to around 114 dwelling units, and published brokerage counts range from 68 to 100. Because there is no community development district here, there is no government assessment roll to settle the question. On acreage, the club says 369 acres and the Town says 400.9; both are right at different dates, since a 2002 ordinance added 31.2 acres. About 116 acres are preserve.

The club is at 250 Bear's Club Drive, Jupiter, Florida 33477, south of Frederick Small Road and roughly a mile from the Atlantic. Despite that proximity there is no marina, no dockage, and no water access. This is a golf club, and buyers who want boating alongside golf should be looking at Admirals Cove or Jonathan's Landing instead.
