The typical first-time South Florida golf and country club buyer looks in the classified section of the Palm Beach Post or online MLS, searches for a house with the number of bedrooms and baths they want and a price range. They then call the listing agent with a long list of questions about the house, the membership fees and general specs about the community.
Big mistake!!!
A tour of the house and the community is arranged but the most critical components in the purchase of a house in a golf community are never addressed: LIFESTYLE and the GAME OF GOLF.
A homebuyer looking for a golf community must know more than the age of the clubhouse and dress code on the course. Any real estate agent with a spec sheet can provide that information.
As Broker/Agent who has played the game her entire life, belongs to an equity club and is on a PGA committee that rates South Florida courses, I know the details. I know as much about the condition of the courses as I do the pros that teach and organize the games. I know what amenities and features builders are providing and I know what courses would suit your game.
And for those who enjoy life beyond the golf course, I know how well the tennis courts are maintained, the types of social programs that are run and even what clubs have private dining rooms and guest accommodations.
Life on the Links™ is more than a round of golf. It’s how you live your life from morning through evening. Call me to arrange a tour of South Florida golf communities from a golfer’s perspective.
