Jupiter CC Wildlife

        Jupiter Country Club is home to a variety of wild animals. Since we are neighbors to Riverbend Nature Preserve, we often have visitors looking for a change of scenery. Below you will find a few snapshots of those exact visitors. They are often seen early in the morning between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. before the sun is up and the heat kicks in to high gear.

       Seeing the abundance of wildlife in the community gives a sense that we are doing our part to preserve and protect the resources around Jupiter Country Club. Continuing this trend should benefit not only you, The Member, but the natural occurring wildlife that calls Jupiter Country Club home.

Get outside and enjoy!

This doe was spotted early one Saturday morning behind #17 green.


The same doe from #17 with her button buck brother. They were just on the other side of the fence in Riverbend Park.

Baby armadillo trying not to damage the turf.


We have a reservation for 4 at 8 a.m.This group of armadillos was spotted on #9. These were all babies.You can't see her, but mom was just inside the bushes keeping close tabs on her young. FACT: Armadillos give birth to 4 identical young. They can also delay birth in times of stress to ensure they have a strong litter of young.


While beautiful, these pesky Sandhill Cranes can cause quite the problem to a golf course.


Wascally Wabbit!
 These native rabbits are in abundance throughout the golf course. If you ever see a hole at the base of bush or tree, you can bet a rabbit is or has lived in there at some point.
