Florida’s Treasure Coast will welcome a new golf and country club community, Glynlea Country Club at Wylder, featuring an 18-hole signature golf course designed by 17-time PGA Tour winner Jim Furyk. Glynlea Country Club is being developed by GreenPointe Developers, LLC with move-in ready homes to be completed by late 2024.
The new community was announced during a groundbreaking ceremony with presentations by Austin Burr, regional President of South Florida for GreenPointe Developers; Ed Burr, President and CEO of GreenPointe developers; Furyk, PGA Tour player and Glynlea Country Club’s Course designer; and MG Orender, president of Hampton Golf.
The golf course, which will be the centerpiece of the greater Wylder community, represents Furyk’s inaugural signature course.
“Having consulted on courses in the past, it’s an honor to make Glynlea my first signature course,” Furyk said. “People may see a tour player as the designer and immediately think it's going to be hard, but we're designing a golf course that's fun and very playable at all skill levels.”
Furyk brings a fresh perspective to the design process.
“I've played all over the world and have seen a variety of golf course styles,” he said. “I’ve played a lot of golf with my mom and dad and in ProAms on the PGA tour, so I also understand how the amateur plays and gets around a golf course. Beginners, average players, and pros alike will enjoy the great challenges of this course.”
Furyk elaborated on the design collaboration. “When we started designing the golf course and putting it on paper, GreenPointe’s goal was to create a place where all levels of golfers could compete, play and enjoy the game of golf. This is what golfers can expect when they come to Glynlea.”
Glynlea Country Club at Wylder will be a gated community with a robust amenities program with a wide range of new homes designs offered by area builders.
“The demand for property on the Treasure Coast is unprecedented, and we are building a community that will attract retirees, families and young professionals,” Austin Burr said. “There is a real appreciation for the amenities and the value we’re creating, in addition to its close proximity to medical facilities, recreation, and nearby metropolitan areas.”
