Jack Nicklaus and his family announced ‘NOKOSI: A Family Club,’ a fully redesigned private golf club and wellness destination in Palm Beach County built on the former Sherbrooke Golf and Country Club site. The Jack Nicklaus NOKOSI private golf club features a [championship course personally designed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-daly) by Nicklaus, who holds a record 20 major championship titles and has designed 325 courses worldwide. Play is expected to begin in late 2026, with clubhouse construction scheduled for fall 2026.

NOKOSI offers chef-driven dining, event venues, advanced club-fitting technology and [dedicated fitness and recovery facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-fitness-specialization) through a [strictly limited membership program](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-town).

Jack Nicklaus shows how building a club around generational family identity can create a distinctive narrative that most luxury golf developments cannot easily replicate.
