Golf Course 1

As the popularity of golf continues to grow, so has the popularity of golf communities. Golf communities are planned neighborhoods which are focused around golf courses but have many more amenities. The obvious advantage is the closeness and exclusiveness of living right next to a golf course. But many golf communities also offer perks such as chefs, nature trails, stables and in the most exclusive, access to private jets. Generally, these neighborhoods are also gated communities which adds an extra sense of security.

Golf communities continue to be built at a rapid rate. Today, 3 out of 5 golf courses that are built are part of a larger golf community. Golf communities are sometimes criticized because they seem to cater to

the very wealthy at the exclusion of everyone else.
