About Frenchman's Creek
Frenchman's Creek is a residential country club community many long to call home, yet only one in which 600 families live, participating in an active life of casual elegance, luxury and grace. From the moment you drive past the gently flowing waterfalls at the entry gate, you will know you have entered a very special community.
Located in Palm Beach County Florida, residents enjoy the ultimate concierge lifestyle with resort amenities including an exclusive and private Beach Club directly on the Atlantic Ocean, extraordinary security, and navigable waterways for those interested in boating and deep water sports.
The secret of Frenchman's Creek's success is found in the impeccable service delivered by the exceptional, international and educated staff graciously catering to all the members needs. Regarded as the pinnacle among its peers, Frenchman's Creek Beach & Country Club has come to set the standard to which other country club communities aspire.
As a residents-only, year round country club, Frenchman's Creek is considered to be the finest private residential community in South Florida. Unique to our Palm Beach County, Florida golf community is a private ocean-front Beach Club, along with two renovated and redesigned championship 18-hole golf courses, 17 Har-Tru tennis courts (nine lighted for evening play), deepwater anchorage for your private yacht, a luxurious 70,000 square foot recently renovated clubhouse, and a stand-alone 11,000 square foot fitness and spa facility.
Daphne du Maurier, a famed British author, in her novel "Frenchman's Creek," tells the story of a French pirate on the run who finds refuge in a small Cornish waterway and later wins the heart of a local lady. In 1935, the Hoyt family bought land on North Prosperity Farms Road near the Intracoastal Waterway. They were attracted to a fresh water basin and a hurricane haven for boats. By the 1940's, the family owned much of the area, then known as Paradise Port. In the later 1940's, federal surveyors found a small wooden sign that one of the Hoyt children, Billy Hoyt, had placed on a small creek. It turned out the children had informally named the stream for one of their mother's favorite novels: Du Maurier's Frenchman's Creek. The name became official and still marks the small waterway that runs through the Frenchman's Creek neighborhood and connects to the nearby Marina.
In 1977, developers Burt Haft and Jack Gaines purchased the 1,400 acres of land, formerly owned by the Hoyts, from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation for $61 million, which included two public golf courses. The 700 acres south of Donald Ross Road, with the two golf courses, became Frenchman's Creek. The 700 acres north of Donald Ross Road were sold and are now home to The Bear's Club and Ritz Carlton Golf and Spa communities. Frenchman's Creek was approved by the county for the development of 3,300 housing units; Haft-Gaines settled for a much lower density of only 600 home sites. In 1986, additional land was purchased in Juno Beach on which the Beach Club was built directly adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean.
