The golf club sits between two forks of the Loxahatchee River.
The private golf club and golf course are situated on a peninsula in the Village of Tequesta. The private golf club describes its property as surrounded on three sides by the North Fork and Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River.
The Club's peninsula setting does not establish water access, boating conditions or Club rights for an individual residence. Confirm the parcel and any separate community-association terms.
The community association is not the golf club.
This is one of the most important distinctions for a buyer to understand.
Tequesta Country Club is a private, member owned golf club. Separately, the Tequesta Country Club Community Association is an active community organization. Its own website describes it as a non mandatory volunteer membership association.
Owning a house in the neighborhood should not be treated as automatic golf membership. Golf membership terms, availability and costs should be confirmed directly with the club.
TCCCA says it cares for listed neighborhood areas, including three riverside parks, and operates a separate boat-ramp and dock program. Confirm whether its current program applies to the property.
The boat ramp can matter even if the house is not waterfront.
The community association currently offers an optional boat ramp key as part of its membership process. Current ramp eligibility, key availability and rules require confirmation directly with TCCCA for the address.
A buyer considering the ramp should confirm membership, key, trailer and parking terms directly before relying on this option.
Current ramp rules, key availability, vehicle and trailer requirements should still be confirmed directly with the association before relying on them.
A fixed bridge can set the boat ceiling.
The Tequesta Drive bridge is fixed. A 2014 federal navigation report lists it at the Northwest Fork and records 11 feet of vertical clearance at the time of the study; verify current clearance and the property-specific route before relying on it.
For an address with documented water access, map its current route and verify clearance against the intended vessel's actual air draft before making a boat-fit statement.
The exact address matters because the bridge that sits between the dock and the inlet depends on the property’s position on the river system.
Do not compare a golf course house to a riverfront house using one neighborhood average.
Before comparing homes, document the legal parcel, building-area measure, lot and survey, condition, restrictions, and any separately documented waterfront improvements. Confirm current comparable sales through MLS and county records.
One neighborhood-wide metric is not a substitute for reviewing the specific parcel and comparable sales.
For every address, distinguish the house and land, any documented private waterfront improvements, and separately confirmed Club or TCCCA opportunities before comparing properties.
A better way to think about the purchase
The house
Condition, renovation quality, layout, lot, golf view, river view, privacy and future capital needs.
The river
Private frontage or community access, dock, lift, depth, bridge route, shoreline, flood exposure and the boat you actually plan to use.
The community association
Current membership terms, park access, boat ramp access, rules plus any neighborhood projects or obligations.
The private club
Current membership availability, category, initiation, dues, waitlist, transfer rules plus the amenities the buyer actually intends to use.
What I would verify before making an offer
- Is the property riverfront, golf front or interior?
- Which fork of the Loxahatchee affects the property?
- Which fixed or movable bridges sit between the dock and the intended boating destination?
- What is the boat’s air draft?
- If using the community ramp, what are the current TCCCA membership, key, trailer and parking rules?
- Is golf club membership desired? If so, what are the current membership terms directly from the club?
- What flood, elevation, seawall, dock and insurance considerations apply to the property?
- Are you paying for private waterfront utility, golf frontage, community access or some combination of the three?
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to join Tequesta Country Club to own a house in the neighborhood?
Do not assume residential ownership includes, requires or guarantees private golf club membership. Confirm current terms directly with Tequesta Country Club.
Is the Tequesta Country Club Community Association the same as the golf club?
No. They are separate organizations. TCCCA describes a voluntary community program with parks and a ramp and dock. Tequesta Country Club describes itself as the private member-owned golf club. Confirm access and membership terms directly with the relevant organization.
Can a non waterfront homeowner use a boat ramp?
TCCCA lists an optional ramp key through its membership process; its public pages do not establish eligibility for every non-waterfront address. Confirm eligibility, availability, fees, trailer rules and parking directly.
Do Tequesta Country Club waterfront homes have unrestricted ocean access?
This page does not verify ocean access for a residence. A 2014 federal report listed the Tequesta Drive Bridge as fixed at the Northwest Fork; confirm current route, clearance, water level, permissions and the vessel's air draft for the address.
Why can two Tequesta Country Club homes have completely different values?
Compare two addresses only after their legal parcels, reported areas, condition, survey, restrictions, and documented improvements have been reviewed.
