Why Quail Ridge?

The Quail Ridge Advantage

Quail Ridge Country Club has a unique combination of attributes which set it apart from other Florida country club and golf course communities. Our facilities and lifestyle set the standard over three decades ago and while we have been emulated by many new‐comers, few country club communities have achieved what we have.

Please take the time to evaluate your Florida golf course home alternatives in terms of these important considerations:

Quail Ridge is Established

There are numerous Florida country club communities – many started as long as ten years ago – which are still “works in progress.” Quail Ridge has been completed, fully built-out and turned over to the membership since the early 1980’s. This means there is no noisy, unsightly construction going on and no operational growing pains. Here you will find two beautifully conditioned golf cours‐es, perfectly maintained stately grounds, spacious garden condominiums, villas and custom homes… a completed golf course home community. It will be years, perhaps decades, before many of the newer country club communities, now in various stages of devel‐opment, can achieve the enviable quality of members and stability which Quail Ridge has right now.

Quail Ridge is Private and Member-Owned

Our membership owns and governs the country club and our community. We make our own rules which include a membership process just like any other private club. New members are introduced and sponsored by two current members and interviewed by our Membership Committee. In this way we can be sure that there will never be a dramatic change in the character of our mem‐bers and our sense of community. Country club communities under development and not privately owned are driven by real estate sales, without the influence of a dedicated, private membership organization. Referrals from our current membership will always be the major source of our future membership.

Quail Ridge is Affordable & Financially Sound

Because Quail Ridge is a private, non-profit club with more than two decades of experience in budget planning, member costs are significantly less than other comparable country club communities. A new member can be part of our community from the mid $100’s, including ownership of a condominium and club membership. The price and value of our Terrace and Garden Condo‐miniums, Courtyard Villas and Custom Homes are surprising and offer sound, highly competitive value by any comparison to other Florida country club and golf course communities.

Quail Ridge Has Two Championship Golf Courses

The variety two courses offer is important but even more critical is the availa‐bility of tee times. Tournaments and required course maintenance can se‐verely limit play when only one course is available. Many clubs with one course are forced to have both morning and afternoon shotgun starts in order to accommodate member play and even then some members are disappoint‐ed. Many clubs must also strictly limit guest play during busy times, especially in season. The two courses at Quail Ridge are busy, especially in season, but it is a rare occurrence that a tee time on the course you choose cannot be ac‐commodated within the hour of your choice.

Quail Ridge is Ideally Located

Just minutes south of Palm Beach, Quail Ridge is close to the fine restaurants, shops and cultural activities of one of America’s most famous vacation areas. Atlantic beaches, marinas and the Intra‐coastal Waterway are nearby and all rou‐tine shopping can be done just outside our gates. Most importantly, Palm Beach International Airport is only 20 minutes away and Fort Lauderdale Airport is only 40 minutes away, making it easy to pick up friends and family and to commute between Quail Ridge and northern homes.

Quail Ridge Has Excellent Security

Our members are free to enjoy the community without concerns about their safety and well-being. Full-time, experienced se‐curity personnel and state-of-the-art electronic systems provide our gated community with an unmatched level of security.

Quail Ridge Has its Own Maintenance and Housekeeping Operations

No need to look outside for routine repairs and maintenance, our experienced plumbers, electricians, carpenters and painters can take care of all your needs with just one phone call. Housekeeping services are on call all the time and will even look after your home while you are not in residence. These in-house services are appreciated by our members who want to minimize the time they spend taking care of life’s details.

Quail Ridge Offers Every Amenity You Would Expect

A myriad of activities are available beyond a very active golf program. Our fully staffed tennis center with 14 Har-Tru® courts and 2 all weather courts provides competition for all levels of play. Our fully staffed 6000 square foot fitness center offers strength and cardio machines, aerobics and yoga classes. Organized activities include bridge and gin rummy, bowling, garden, Audubon and computer clubs and diversified entertainment evenings from live comedy to dinner, dancing and special events. There is also a well-stocked library. Fine and casual dining is available throughout the year.

Quail Ridge Has Fully Equipped Rental Units for Friends and Family

No need to book nearby hotels, your family and guests can stay right in our community when they visit you at Quail Ridge. The rental units are owned by our members who only use them a few weeks out of the year and all the details of renting, billing and housekeeping are handled by our staff. They are a useful amenity for our membership in general and provide an affordable way for their owners to enjoy Quail Ridge a few weeks a year with off-setting rental income when they are not in residence.

All things considered, do the other communities you may be considering

have all the advantages offered by Quail Ridge?

Golf

Quail Ridge Country Club is committed to providing the highest quality golf experience for its members and guests with its two renovated and redesigned championship golf courses. The renowned architect Joe Lee orig‐inally designed our two courses to complement each other and provide different challenges for golfers of all skill levels. Recently, both courses have been upgraded and renovated by nationally recognized architect Kipp Schulties. We are proud to provide distinctive golfing venues for our members and guests to enjoy including a driving range, short game and putting practice areas. Over the years, Quail Ridge members have appeared in the US Open, The Masters, the US Senior Open, and US Senior Amateur championships, as well as, the Walker and Ryder Cups. With well over 100 single digit handi‐cappers, our members have won amateur championships in Maryland, Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana, Ber‐muda and New England. Quail Ridge is also home to the country’s most prestigious senior competitive golf organization, The Society of Seniors. More than two dozen of the Society’s 500 members reside here and we are the site of some of its ma‐jor tournaments. But you don’t have to be tournament-tested to enjoy golf at Quail Ridge. Tee locations stretch from 4,849 to 7,003 yards. The variety offered by two courses is important but even more critical is the availability of tee times. While courses are busy, it is a rare occurrence that a tee time cannot be accommodated within the hour of your choice. And, our time-tested system for reserving tee times is the most member-friendly we know of.

Golf Professionals

Quail Ridge has PGA certified golf professionals that consistently provide a high level of service and excellence for the game of golf. The professional staff offers an extensive instructional program catering to all the skill levels of our members and guests and organizes competitive golf tournaments and events. The golf shop is equipped with the latest golf clubs and supplies and is stocked with a wide variety of designer named golf and all occasion attire.

the Southern Palm Beaches. Quail Ridge is ideally located just a few minutes to two major thoroughfares (I-95 and Florida’s Turn‐pike) , 20 minutes to Palm Beach International Airport or 40 minutes to Fort Lauderdale International Airport. Here is a sampling of all that awaits your discovery….

Shopping & Entertainment Districts From the famous Worth Avenue Shops on

Palm Beach and the vibrant “Village by the Sea” of downtown Delray Beach, to several highly regarded malls, the world’s finest shopping experiences are within minutes.

Delray Beach - Atlantic Avenue District—Spend the day or night checking out over 135

specialty stores and eateries. It may have a small town charm, but the Atlantic Avenue’s many sides, from museums to sidewalk cafés to yearly festivals, put it into the big time.

CityPlace - Italian-inspired architecture and a fresh menu of shopping, dining and entertainment

positions the 72-acre property as a signature component of Downtown West Palm Beach. The open-air, mixed-use center offers more than 100 shops and restaurants, including a restored 1920's church adapted to serve as a cultural center; an IMAX cinema complex; a stellar lineup of free weekly enter‐tainment; plus a spectacular show fountain in the center of the main plaza.

like atmosphere!

Culture & Heritage History and culture with a tropical twist come to life in The Palm Beaches. Historic buildings and landmarks tell terrific tales of days and events in an extraordinary past, while a surprising and superb collec‐tion of top-of-the-line museums, performing art venues, and festivals earn us the title of Florida's Cultural Capital.

Performing Arts! Who says Broadway and London's West End are

the only places to catch a good show? The Palm Beaches are alive with lively, world-class theater. And if you're hoping to sit outside, under the tropical sky, for a big time concert, you're coming to the right desti‐nation.

Live Theatre - Mizner, Kravis, Caldwell – dozens of theaters, play‐

houses and amphitheaters staging locally produced plays to touring companies of the best known Broadway hits. Our area offers a never-ending showcase of dramatic plays, musicals and comedic performances.

renowned Japanese gardens, world-class bonsai display, galleries of historical and contemporary Asian art, family activities, signature Japanese festivals, museum store and lakeside Asian café.

works, including European Impressionists and Modern Masters, American art from 1900 to the present, an extensive collection of works on paper and a rich body of sculpture.
