The driving forces behind the boom in golf course living

T

By Debra Gelbart

hroughout the pandemic, we’ve been urged to spend as much time as possible outdoors when gathering with others. Buying a brand-new home in a golf course community seems to be a perfect way to do that — and many developers and homebuilders selling in these locations report that home sales soared in 2020 and into the new year. Here are just a few examples of all-ages communities that feature golf courses and/or a golf lifestyle.

VISTANCIA IN NORTH PEORIA: “Low mortgage rates, low resale inventory and the shift in workforce to promote remote-working have been the primary drivers of new home purchases this year,” said Mark Hammons, vice president/general manager of Vistancia.

Sereno Canyon Toll Brothers Sereno Canyon is a resort-style staffgated master-plan community with native landscaping, natural rocks, and desert and mountain views. There are three home collections: The Estates (large homes on acre+ lots); The Villas (single-family homes); and The Enclave (paired homes). There is also the Mountain House Lodge with private amenities. The community includes a spa, fitness center, pools, cabanas, café, fire-pit and 8,500 square-feet of covered terraces.

Public or private course(s): Blackstone Country Club at Vistancia is a private 18-hole championship golf course designed by Jim Engh. Trilogy Golf Club, located within the active-adult community of Trilogy at Vistancia, is a public daily-fee course designed by Gary Panks.

CACHET AT THE WIGWAM IN LITCHFIELD PARK: “Any outdoor activity seems to be drawing great interest,” said Sue Goodrich, vice president of sales and “Buyers are looking marketing for Cachet Homes. Cachet at for a home surrounded The Wigwam sits adjacent to one of three by the beauty of the golf courses operated by the legendary Wigwam Golf Resort.
