Overview
The Club at Admirals Cove is a member-owned private club inside a gated waterfront community in Jupiter. The club lists 45 holes of golf, tennis and pickleball, a private marina, a spa and wellness center, several restaurants and a 32-room boutique hotel for members and their guests.
The land was once part of John D. MacArthur's holdings. In 1985 his foundation offered a 727-acre parcel for sale, and developer Ben Frankel, working with Mutual Benefit Life Insurance, began building Admirals Cove in 1986. The first residents arrived in the 1987–88 season, and the marina and the 18-hole East Course opened in 1988.
The club became an equity club in 1988 and moved to full member ownership in November 1999. Its marina sits west of the Intracoastal Waterway about two miles from Jupiter Inlet and can berth vessels up to 165 feet.
