Mark Bellissimo Announces Purchase of The Wanderers Club By Wellington Equestrian Partners  

 Mark Bellissimo announced today that Wellington Equestrian Partners has purchased The Wanderers Club in Wellington, Florida. The Wanderers Club is a family-friendly private club that offers some of the finest golf, tennis, fitness, and dining activities in Wellington. The club will continue to serve both equestrian and non-equestrian families in the Wellington area and is conveniently located within three minutes of the world-famous Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC).
“The Wanderers Club is a special facility and property in Wellington,” said Mark Bellissimo. “With its tournament-quality golf course, tennis, pool, fitness, dining and banquet facilities, we are confident that we will continue to attract both residents and seasonal equestrians as Club members. We will also be providing a shuttle from PBIEC to The Wanderers Club so that access to the facilities is quick and easy for club members. We will continue to explore new opportunities, solicit feedback, and identify ways to better serve our membership.”

The magnificent, par-72 golf course offers immaculate fairways, manicured greens, and breathtaking vistas. Created by Jacobsen Hardy Golf Course Design, the 18 holes feature the natural beauty of the Florida landscape with TifEagle greens, tees, and lush fairways at tournament-level conditions. The course offers an uncrowded experience with no tee times. A quick round is possible any time, even on weekends and holidays, during the busy winter season. Players can have a traditional golf experience by walking the course with caddies or ride in carts.
