Top 20 Golf Communities in North America
By the Editors
Once upon a time golf was the all-encompassing activity at master-planned golf communities. No longer.
In recent years, progressive country club communities have pushed beyond golf to augment their community experience to enrich residents with a wide variety of soul-satisfying activities that matches their passions and interests.
A Broader Community Experience
Golf Course Home celebrates this exciting trend in 2018 with its Top 20 Golf Communities in North America that are leading the charge to this wider, more inclusive community experience.
See the list below that salutes the Top 20 and the diverse activities they are championing from art studios and community farms/gardens to charitable giving groups to innovative activities for the casual golfer and more. And watch this space for follow-up posts that detail what these activities are and what they mean to their communities.
