Loblolly

What Loblolly does

Loblolly is a private, member-owned club and gated residential community located at 7407 SE Hill Terrace in Hobe Sound, Florida, on the state's Treasure Coast. The community is bordered by parks, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Jupiter Island National Wildlife Refuge, and comprises two distinct neighborhoods: Loblolly Pines (stucco homes with tile roofs) and Loblolly Bay (casual architecture with wood and cedar roofs). Membership in the club is by invitation only and governed by the club's bylaws; access is separate from real estate purchase but practically coupled with residency inside the gates.

The club's core product is the membership itself, delivering access to an 18-hole Pete Dye golf course, 9 Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball courts, a fitness center, full-service spa, beach shuttle, two swimming pools, multiple dining venues, and a marina. The supporting technology layer is a third-party stack — Clubessential powers the public website and member login, while Clubepay underpins the marina billing portal. There is no proprietary technology product, no mobile app, and no public API; all member-facing digital infrastructure is sourced from vendors serving the private-club industry.

Loblolly generates revenue from two streams: recurring club membership fees and real estate transaction commissions booked through its on-site brokerage, Loblolly Realty, which has served the community for over 30 years. Customer segments are affluent private club members and luxury real estate buyers; both are concentrated within a single Florida geography. The organization is a private, member-owned cooperative with no parent company, no outside funding, and 51-100 employees supporting operations.
