Golf in Fort Pierce

Fort Pierce is the county seat of St. Lucie County on the Treasure Coast, at the northern end of the Indian River Lagoon system. Four courses serve the city — Fairwinds Golf Course, Gator Trace Golf & Country Club, Indian Hills Golf Course, and Island Pines Golf Club — in a market sustained by the large permanent residential base of this an agricultural and fishing community. No hole-count data is in public records for most of these operations. The Fort Pierce Inlet connects the Indian River Lagoon to the Atlantic Ocean, and the commercial fishing heritage of the area coexists with the retirement and residential growth that has characterized the Treasure Coast over the past two decades.
