Mariner Sands Country Club

What Mariner Sands Country Club does

Mariner Sands Country Club is a private, member-owned gated residential country club community located at 6500 SE Mariner Sands Drive in Stuart, Florida, on the state's Treasure Coast approximately 45 minutes north of Palm Beach International Airport. The community spans 728 acres and contains 771 residences serving affluent active professionals and retirees who are drawn to a luxury lifestyle centered on championship golf, recreational sports, dining, and social engagement within a secured private environment. The club has operated continuously since the late 1970s and is governed by a Board of Governors on behalf of member-owners.

The core offering consists of two 18-hole championship golf courses — the Gold Course designed by Tom Fazio and the Blue Course designed by Frank Duane — supported by a 5-acre practice facility, PGA instruction, and weekly tournament programming. Beyond golf, Mariner Sands operates nine HydroCourt clay tennis courts, six pickleball courts, croquet lawns, bocce courts, a 3,700 sq. ft. fitness center equipped with Life Fitness cardio machines featuring smartphone app integration, a 6,000 sq. ft. resort-style pool complex, a spa, and four dining venues (The Ashley, The Reserve, The Sand Bar, and The Mariner). On-site physical therapy is delivered through a Cleveland Clinic partnership. A newly constructed state-of-the-art clubhouse opened in 2025, completing a multi-year capital program that also covered a new gate house (2020), pool and court-sports complex (2018), and fitness center and spa (2014).

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring, quote-based membership dues paid by resident households, supplemented by food and beverage revenue across the four dining venues and ancillary fees for golf, spa, fitness, and court-sports programming. The club also captures transactional economics on real estate activity within the community — 34 active listings with prices ranging from $198,000 to $2,450,000 and averaging $760,732 — through an exclusive five-year partnership with Nicklaus Vance (July 2022 – June 2027) and through cooperating brokers. Go-to-market is conducted directly via the official website, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and word-of-mouth referrals within the luxury Florida residential market, with a membership director (LeAnna Saundry) handling prospective-member inquiries.
