Resort Style Golf Homes and Golf Communities

From exclusive country clubs to vibrant active adult neighborhoods, golf communities offer something for everyone. PCR features over 100 of the best golf communities nationwide, including retirement communities, 55+ neighborhoods, all-ages master-planned developments, and resort-style country clubs. Whether nestled along a lake or river in the mountains, along scenic ocean coastlines, or near bustling metropolitan areas, these golf communities cater to a wide range of preferences and lifestyles.

Living in a community with its own premier golf course is a dream come true for many avid golfers. With so many golf communities, though, choosing a place that meets your needs and fits your lifestyle can be challenging. Climate, location, and other select golf amenities are all elements that should play a part in this decision! You can view our network of golf communities to find the perfect fit.

The Benefits of Living in a Golf Community

Living in a golf community goes far beyond enjoying a challenging game of golf. These golf communities often provide a serene, well-maintained environment with beautiful landscaping and breathtaking views. Often gated for added privacy and security, and always pristine and well-maintained, living in a golf community has many advantages.

Residents benefit from a strong sense of community, increased property values, and convenient access to top-notch golf facilities. Private golf communities include everything from pro golf shops and clubhouses with full-service bars and restaurants to practice greens and driving ranges with Toptracer technology to golf lessons, regular tournaments, and more. Those who reside in private golf communities often get tee time preference and other perks to play as often as they desire. Many of the gated golfing communities featured here boast several onsite championship golf courses that cater to a range of skill levels.

Amenities and Social Opportunities in Country Club Golf Communities

Beyond the golf fairways, exclusive amenities within many golf communities include pools, tennis courts, and fitness centers. For those who love the game—or simply appreciate a resort-style lifestyle—a golf community may be the perfect fit.

Golf communities are more than just residential homes near golf courses—they’re hubs of activity and social engagement. In addition to world-class golf courses, residents enjoy clubhouses with fine dining, wellness centers, spa services, and organized events like golf tournaments and social gatherings. Many private golf communities also offer walking trails, pickleball courts, and children’s play areas, ensuring everyone has something to enjoy. With so many golf amenities, it’s no wonder these golf communities foster a dynamic, social atmosphere.

Is Playing Golf Year-Round Important to You?

There are spectacular golf courses in all parts of the country. If you’re determined to play golf year-round, focus on communities with warmer climates such as Arizona, Florida, and southern California. If you enjoy the change of seasons and even taking some time off from the game, perhaps living in a golf community in Virginia, North Carolina, or Michigan is more your style.

For example, when comparing Arizona and Michigan, Arizona has an average of 300 days of sunshine each year. The state offers incredibly varied landscapes and golf communities, allowing folks to play golf in scenic deserts or forested surroundings.

On the other hand, Michigan is often overlooked as a golf community destination. It’s known for top-notch golf courses and is called ‘America’s Summer Golf Capital’ because playing golf is so weather-dependent.

Do You Want to Socialize With Your Golfing Pals?

Golf is a way to connect and develop strong friendships with other residents who share your passion for the game. Golf communities centered on golf also often organize holiday events, cocktail parties, and other gatherings to bring people together.

After a perfect day on the fairways, golfers in private communities can indulge in a range of culinary experiences from fine dining to casual cafes offered onsite to round out their day.

What Other Amenities Do You Need?

Golf might be a big part of your life, but there are other amenities that can enhance your lifestyle and add value to your home when living in golf communities. These amenities within golf communities might include swimming pools, spas, organized social activities, fitness centers, housekeeping services, or pickle ball courts.

PCR can help you find the perfect golf community to suit your needs!

Golf Course Real Estate: Finding Your Dream Home

Homes in private golf course communities are as diverse as the people who live there. Options range from low-maintenance condos and villas to luxurious estates with sweeping golf course views.
