Happy New Year! Welcome to the 2022 GCH Annual Index–an in-depth look at all the year’s activity on the Golf Course Home Network.
This year’s Index is the 11th consecutive edition, featuring the year’s new communities, most-visited communities, retirement advice, top amenities, most popular homes and more.
The real estate year has been one of two minds. The first half continued the rising prices and active sales of 2021. The second half reflected the pressure of rising interest rates as both sales and home price increases started to slow.
Golf Keeps Growing
The Landings, GA: 6 courses & many opportunities to play.
The National Golf Foundation reported that 37.5M Americans (age 6+) played golf both on-course and off-course in 2021, up from the previous year’s strong number. In addition, 3.2M people played golf for the first time in 2021, the second year in a row that figure topped 3 million–yet more signs that golf is growing nicely.
That rising participation in the sport helped Golf Course Home maintain nearly the same number of visitors as last year despite the headwinds now blowing. Use the links below to see a review of all the activity GCH enjoyed in 2022 and use it to help plan your searches next year.
New Communities & Retirement Focus
Osprey Cove, GA: Outdoor lifestyle make retirement a breeze.
Concurrent with the rising number of new golfers and increased play is the sustained interest in purchasing in a golf community. Our stats from this year show that the No. 1 reason someone visits GolfCourseHome.com is to find a home for their retirement.
To help you in that search, see below for links to the GCH Golf Retirement Planner, as well as links and summaries of the year’s activity.
And finally, thank you, our subscribers and visitors, for continuing to make Golf Course Home–now entering its 28th year since its founding in 1995 and its 24th year online–a part of your journey as you embark on your plans for a new home for you and your family. It continues to be our privilege to serve you. Stay safe and healthy in 2023!–David Lott, Founder and Publisher

The Year’s Most-Visited Communities
Treasure Lake, PA: Lakeside living & affordable homes = Top 10.
More than half of this year’s members of the Top 10 Most Visited Communities are new, while the title of Most Visited Community on Golf Course Home featured a contest of familiar rivals.
In all, 25 different communities enjoyed at least one month ranked in the Top 10 Most Visited, and five communities enjoyed the No. 1 monthly ranking. Top 10 newcomer Osprey Cove in St. Marys, GA, was the only community to grabb the No. 1 spot for two months.
Florida the Top State
Florida’s hold on the Top 10 loosened a bit in 2022 with four communities in the elite group, followed by Georgia and South Carolina each with two, Arizona and Pennsylvania with one each.

A New No. 1
Harbour Ridge, FL: Golf, St. Lucie River & fine homes.

COMMUNITY OF THE YEAR
Harbour Ridge, FL: 36 holes, river & Florida lifestyle.
Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club, Palm City, FL, has made a habit of topping the annual list. Ranked third last year, the Florida community reaches the apex for the sixth time.
Harbour Ridge has had many years for GCH visitors to become familiar with it, having first appeared in 2000, 22 years ago.
The community had made numerous investments in its amenities since then, headed by its magnificent clubhouse. Thirty-six championship golf holes, racket sports (including pickleball) and a marina on the St. Lucie River combine to create a multi-faceted lifestyle and attract a wide range of interests and residents.

2022 GCH Annual Index
Most Wanted AMENITIES
Haig Point, SC: Equestrian facilities for oceanfront rides.
Water sports came to the fore in 2022 with marina, boating and lake access leading the way.
Equestrian facilities (new), and children’s camps and activities all received importance while Olympic-sized swimming pools, walking trails and fitness centers all exited the Top 10.
Security continued to be an important need with gated communities ranking as the No. 2 most-searched for amenity. Twenty-four-hour security was a top-tier need, too, ranking 10th.
No. 1 again was the desire to purchase a home in a retirement community. Those communities that provide nearby health facilities, a welcoming atmosphere and friendly neighbors were rewarded with the most visitors. See the full Top 10 list below.
