Not too long ago, golf-course living was reserved for retired
executives who spent their days on the links and their evenings sitting around
the pool with cocktails and friends. Not any more. Now everyone from young
professional couples to active families to empty nesters has discovered the
value of purchasing real estate in private golf communities across the
country.
Whether they’re being used as primary residences or vacation
homes, these properties provide a level of luxury not usually available in
traditional neighborhoods. The amenities are plentiful, the golf enjoyable and
the environment conducive to socializing and having fun for people at any stage
of life, not just retirement. Better yet, property appreciation is exceptional
and "move up" opportunities are often available within the golf community.
In addition, golf communities offer different types of
properties: homesites, existing homes, new houses and condos. In the following
stories, four homeowners in different parts of the country and at different points
in their lives share their experiences and explain their purchases. Although
they may have different backgrounds, they share a desire to experience the best
that these properties offer.
