Florida is known as the Sunshine State, but it might as well be called the Golf State since it has more courses than any other state in the country. With more than 1,100 courses, Floridians play tens of millions of rounds every year.
The number of golf courses in West Palm Beach tops out at more than 160, both public and private. Some of these private courses are located within active adult communities, offering the resort lifestyle that residents enjoy.
There are many benefits to living in a golf course community. Golf course communities are known for lush, green scenery because the homeowners’ associations (HOAs) maintain the courses and property landscaping. The resale values can be impressive too since golf course communities are so desirable. They also have amenities like clubhouses, swimming pools, restaurants, fitness centers, and lifestyle groups.
If you aren’t familiar with the prestigious West Palm Beach area, it’s in Palm Beach County in Southeastern Florida. Besides West Palm, some of its largest cities include Boynton Beach, Palm Springs, and Delray Beach. It’s called the “Golf Capital of the World” because of the numerous courses, but those lucky enough to live here also take advantage of the sunny beaches, water sports, countless restaurants, and world-class shopping.
Imagine living in a West Palm Beach community with its own course and also being able to golf elsewhere and enjoy all the offerings this area has. Here are three properties with golf courses in West Palm Beach that have all of these opportunities and more.
