Explore a variety of amenities
Golf communities offer more than the sport. They are often designed to feature amenities similar to those that can be found in premium high-end residences.
It’s common to discover fitness studios, dining options, swimming pools, and other venues of lifestyle pursuits in these estates. If you ever need a break from playing on the green, you can always explore other activities to your heart’s content.

You can even go wakeboarding, biking and dancing in the area, as the estate is situated next to a lakeside marina and camping areas. The place is an elevated version of summer camp, available all-year round.
Make friends easily
While golf communities in the Philippines rarely have age restrictions, most attract residents who are in the retirement age. If you belong to this “golden years” category, this means that you’ll often be in the company of people who also share your capacities and interests.
In addition, the clubhouse in such villages usually organizes social activities such as dances, holiday parties and other events where you can meet neighbors.
One great example of a community that does this is the Hualālai in Hawai’i Island. The place has the
annual Members’ Holiday party which marks the start of the Christmas season. It also hosts the Mitsubishi Electric Championship, Annual Canoe Regatta, and 4th of July activities.
There are a lot of things to do in a golf community if you’re always game for a party.

The Finca Cortesin Residences in Costa del Sol, Spain, for example, showcases the best of the Andalusian Mountains and seas. It offers hotel-like provisions, a Michelin-star restaurant and world-class golf course. The sunny climate of the region also makes this particular place a rare European escape from the harsh winter weather. With its gorgeous views and fine services, you’ll feel at the top of your game here.

In addition, Puerto Rico offers tax incentives to foreigners looking to invest in the country’s businesses and properties, making the place not only attractive for its beauty but also for its price.
