Fort Myers Florida Golf Course Communities ! We have your Style of Membership Waiting !
Fort Myers Florida Real Estate February 2010. Joe Kendall Realtor with Sandals Realty writes: Before you buy a Bank Owned or Bank Short Sale Golf Course Condo, you should decide how often your going to play and what type of "golf membership plan" best fits your needs ? There are many golf course communities to choose from but you can eliminate many by the choices offer at each course. This is why I suggest you know your options before you buy !
I would suggest you understand the difference in the offerings before you start looking, as the golf fees should match your needs too! Here are the 3 basic types offered here.
(1) "Bundled Golf" The purchase of a home in this style of development comes with an automatic membership in the private or semi-private course. There are no up front entry costs, but there are annual dues that you must pay. Each development handles there pro shop differently in regards to scheduling tee times, allowing more people equal access to the course for all its members.
(2) " Pay as you Play" These communities are on or near public courses, the rates my vary during the year, these are public courses and they can be over crowded during peak season. Yet off season can be wide open during afternoon and evening hours with rates around $25.00 to $30.00 with some courses offering discounts cards and coupons.
(3) " Private Clubs" Homes in these developments do not include a membership in the country club. Residents desiring a membership must pay initiation fee, along with annual dues. the membership in most of these clubs limit there membership to 250-300 members. I would suggest scheduling a meeting with the sales manager for club you maybe interested in joining to get a copy of the rules, fees and a list of social offerings that is included with the membership.
Buying a home with in a golfing community it is important that you visit the club house, talk with the staff, ask fellow golfers playing, how they like it there? and last of all Play the course for yourself and see! As your real estate partner would encourage you to experience the great golf and lifestyle here in southwest Florida! Buying a home after that really becomes a pretty simple task after that! there are many single family homes, town homes and condos for sale including bank owned and bme and request a list of properties in these fine communities. Please give me a call or email requesting a list of homes or condos on golf course living today!
