Founded in 1999 by Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, The Bear's Club was conceived to offer members and their guests a world-class golf and club experience. The Club aims to create the finest private golf club with the highest standards of quality, amenities, programs, and services, making it a unique experience, a true 'home away from home' for Jack and Barbara.

In Jack’s own words: “It has been my desire and vision for more than 20 years to build a golf club near my home in South Florida that bears my name. The club reflects my love for the game and is a place I would hang my hat. The Bear’s Club has become that place. This is my home. To ensure it remains as Barbara and I dreamed, the club has been developed with the highest level of detail, services, and governance.”
