The private golf club is designed by the NBWW architectural firm, opened in the fall of 2019 the high-tech luxury golf course is located in Hobe Sound, Florida, featuring a private 18-hole golf course, a 15,000 square foot clubhouse, locker rooms, lounge areas, a golf pro shop, on-course shelter, gatehouse, practice range, and learning facility. It’s uber-exclusive and invite only.
One of the perks that have been circulating the Internet is the Grove XXIII’s on-course drone refreshments service instead of the traditional beverage cart. The drones deliver all-day snacks and alcoholic drinks to the club members, wherever you are on the course.

The caddies also make their way around the course on golf scooters instead of walking. Multiple articles have confirmed it's a super-exclusive club with just fewer than 100 members so far.
