With a championship 18-hole course and Florida’s very first reversible 9-hole course, Sailfish Sands is definitely out of the ordinary – not to mention the full-length grass driving range powered by Toptracer Range (the same technology used on televised golf tournaments to track the shots of the game’s best players. But coming in 2022, Sailfish Sands will also debut a brand-new building with 20 covered hitting bays where guests can compete against friends playing fun games and virtual courses on interactive game screens. The golf course will also unveil their new Sailfish Sands Clubhouse, which will offer an extensive menu in the fully equipped restaurant as well as a sleek bar pouring top shelf tipples.

Looking to break a sweat? Then plan to swing by All-Outdoors Fitness, Stuart’s first and only outdoor fitness studio! Their mission was to create a one-of-a-kind outdoor space where workout enthusiasts (who also happen to love the great outdoors) could successfully train together. The fun concept also builds on the idea that we could all benefit from spending more time outside surrounded by Mother Nature. Founded by local athlete Sarah Wickstrom, visitors can sign up for a range of small-group classes, with options like “Strength & Stability,” “Speed & Agility,” and the “3S Workout” (which combines strength, speed, and skill).

Visitors can look forward to creative beers like Mango Milkshake IPA (with notes of vanilla and organic mango); Salted Caramel Russian Imperial (with a hint of coconut); and Raspberry Berliner (made using fermented organic raspberries). On the spirit side, guests can expect bold flavors such as Carolina Reaper Pepper Vodka and Coffee Infused Whiskey. It is expected to be folded into the Treasure Coast Wine and Ale Trail and represent Martin County along with Ocean Republic Brewing Company and the Hani Honey Company (also located in Stuart).
