Top Amenities at Private Golf Course Communities

Golf is a rewarding sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. It allows players to spend time connecting with the outdoors while reaping the many health benefits of the sport. If you are considering moving to one of the many private golf course communities available, it is important to know what amenities to look for. 

Read on to learn about the must-have luxury amenities any golf community should offer its members. 

1. A Well-designed Course

A well-designed golf course should accentuate the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape while creating an exciting challenge at each hole. Elements like bunkers and ponds, streams, and other natural obstacles give a golf course personality and charm –– creating an enjoyable experience. Keep this in mind when selecting the course you want to spend the majority of your time playing on, so you always have a set of challenges to motivate you to go out and practice your skills.

2. A Golf Shop

Having a golf shop within the community gates is a convenient perk of living in a golf community. Stocked with the top brands of clubs, shoes, attire, and accessories, your shop will have all the equipment you need for your next round. Oftentimes, they are also staffed by trained professionals who can assist you, helping you make the best purchase for your style of play and personal needs. 

3. Practice Facilities

After you have all the appropriate equipment, it’s time to spend time practicing the various elements of your golf game. From perfecting your swing at the driving range to practicing your putting, committing to a regular practice schedule is one of the best ways to improve and develop good habits. To see an improvement in your game, choose a golf community that has practice areas that include a driving range, putting area, and a short game area. Over time, these facilities will make it much easier for you to practice and eventually help you become a more versatile golfer. 

4. An Abundance of Programming and Services

When you’ve invested the time and effort into improving your skills, there’s nothing more rewarding than putting them to the test during a member tournament in your community –– and these events are just one of the ways your social calendar will fill up in a private golf community. Throughout the year, many private golf course communities also host holiday-themed tournaments for their members –– just another fun way to get to know your neighbors while enjoying a sport you love. Whether for bragging rights around the clubhouse or to raise money for a good cause, these formal competitions can bring the community together for a spirited round on the green. 

Additionally, the community offers a full set of wellness programs that will make staying fit fun and engaging. Other services that make home in the community even more enjoyable for members include transportation services, pet/home services, a home rental program, and more.

5. A Health and Wellness Center

To keep your body in tip-top shape for competition, it is necessary to stay fit and live an active lifestyle. One of the added benefits of living in a private community is the ease with which you can exercise, right within the community gates. Look for a community with wellness facilities, state-of-the-art equipment, professional training staff, and a variety of activities to participate in.

6. Golf Course Homes 

For many golf enthusiasts, one of the most appealing aspects of a private golf course community is the proximity to the course itself –– and when you have the option to purchase a home with a view of the sweeping fairways, it will feel like you’re on cloud nine. 

Here at The Cliffs, we have a wide range of homes and homesites nestled along the course, allowing for spectacular views from within. We even have new neighborhood additions, such as Golf Ridge at Mountain Park, that border Gary Player’s masterful design.
