Golf property
 | It has been suggested that Golf course community be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since June 2025. |
In residential sales, a golf property is a piece of real estate linked to a golf course. Golf property can be in the ownership of the golf course or in proximity to the golf course.[1] The concept of combining the design of a golf course with a subdivision housing property originated in the United States and is now found in many parts of the world.
Golf properties are an example of niche real estate, a specialized sector of the property market.[2][3] Golf properties have been found to boost property values,[4] but can be associated with certain risks. Home values can decrease if the course attached to it falls into disrepair or mismanagement.[5] In 2022, a family won a $5,000,000 settlement against a country club after their home was hit by over 600 golf balls.[6] In 2025, a study found that living nearby a golf course could be associated with a higher incidental risk of Parkinson's disease.[7]
