John's Island Club:
Sporting Life
The sporting life at John’s Island has been an inherent part of the community since its inception. Ask the families who live here what they like most about John’s Island, and they’ll tell you it’s the lifestyle and the people. A commitment to excellence, world-class amenities and longstanding traditions are but a few of the qualities that distinguish the John's Island Club. Whether it’s a round of golf on meticulously manicured greens, browsing in the pro shops, a friendly tennis match, enjoying the beautiful fauna and flora, or the simple pleasure of conversation over the finest cuisine, it is here that lifelong memories and gracious traditions continue to be made and treasured.
The enjoyment of games of skill, camaraderie and prowess, all played in a most superb setting – this is what awaits members of the John’s Island Club. Members enjoy golf at three 18-hole championship courses – the South Course designed by renowned Pete Dye in consultation with Jack Nicklaus, planned to harmonize with the tropical vegetation; Pete Dye’s perfectly designed North Course intended to mirror the tradition of courses in Britain and Scotland; or Tom Fazio’s signature West Course, located within a six-mile drive of the community, ranked among the most challenging in the nation, distinguishable by the absence of homes and man-made berming. “Of all the award winning courses we’ve been involved in developing, no golf course is more spectacular than John’s Island West. The uniqueness, variety, challenge, and overall environment certainly place John’s Island courses as some of the best golf experiences one could ever ask for,” said Tom Fazio.
John’s Island also offers 18 Har-tru tennis courts with a full time professional tennis staff and Pro Shop. Weekly men’s and ladies’ events, round robins, children’s clinics and the annual championships provide the competitive player a fine forum and challenge.
Here, there is something for everyone. Within the 24-hour manned gated community are 20 miles of shaded, private roads ideal for biking, rollerblading, walking and jogging. A North American doubles, air-conditioned squash court, professional croquet, swimming at the unparalleled new Beach Club, Fun Club for kids, plus state-of-the-art equipment and personal trainers at the Health & Fitness Center are just of the few activities available for enjoyment at any age. Boating, fishing, and kayaking round out the abundant sporting options. And no Beach Club experience would be complete without searching for shells, building sandcastles or strolling along the shore with warm ocean breezes. Life at John’s Island. Unparalleled!
