Cape Club acquires Fox Club Florida

The Fox Club Florida, an 18-hole semi-private club in Palm City, Florida, has been acquired by The Cape Club, a collection of golf facilities that includes Cape Club of Sharon and Cape Club of Falmouth, both in the Boston and Cape Cod, Massachusetts area.

The Cape Club plans to invest significant capital into the Fox Club’s golf course and clubhouse, ushering in a new era for the golf facility — an era that creates a premier private club experience that will be the crown jewel of the Palm City and Treasure Coast region.

“This is so very exciting for the club, the community and the region,” said Kristi Tower, a longtime Fox Club associate and now general manager. “The Cape Club organization operates at an extremely high level, investing back into their courses to create amazing golf, social and culinary experiences.”

Capital improvement projects planned for the Fox Club include:

• Renovation of all bunkers on the course to include re-shaping, new liners, drains and the addition of “Augusta-white” bunker sand in all bunkers — a Cape Club Collection signature feature
• Clean up of landscaping in both in-play and out-of-play areas on every golf hole. This will include trimming of all brush and trees, laying down pine straw, mulch and flowers in strategic locations.
• Topdressing the entire golf course to enhance turf health, along with other agronomic practices throughout the summer to ensure first-class conditions for the future
• Investment in a new pump station to provide enhanced turf health
• Player-friendly redesign/enhancements to holes 10 and 18
• Revitalization of golf cart paths to include a refresh of current paths and new white coquina for natural paths
• Renovation of the driving range/practice area to include enhanced landing area, new targets (with white sand bunkers), a new retaining wall, alternative artificial hitting matts, new practice golf balls along with furniture and practice accessories
• New landscaping around the parking lot and clubhouse

Capital improvements to be made by the Cape Club represent a seven-figure investment in the golf course and clubhouse. In an effort to complete all improvements in a timely manner, the Fox Club will close from July 1 through mid-November. It will relaunch as the Cape Club of Palm City. Members of all three clubs will have access to each.

“Our members will be able to play and discover the world-class Cape Club courses in Massachusetts and vice versa,” Tower said. “We look forward to being a winter retreat for Cape Club members from Sharon and Falmouth, and being their go to Florida destination.”

Fox Club is located in Palm City, Florida, and was originally designed by Roy Case in 1989 and was redesigned in 2017 by Darren Clarke and Eoghan O’Connell. The Cape Club of Falmouth features a recently renovated golf course. The Cape Club of Sharon joined the Cape Club family in 2017 and has also undergone significant renovations and enhancements.
