The Millennial generation, born between 1981 and 1996, is on the hunt for a new lifestyle. They’re searching for a place where they can not only enhance their quality of life but also forge meaningful social connections. According to Florida Realtors, one of the top destinations Millennials are discovering for this lifestyle shift is within golf club communities. These vibrant enclaves go beyond golf and amenities, offering a holistic lifestyle focused on wellness, social interaction, and a strong sense of community. Let’s delve deeper into why many Millennials are choosing to embrace golf club living, particularly along Florida’s Treasure Coast.

Record Numbers Hit the Links

Now more than ever, Millennials and golfers of all ages are hitting the links in record numbers. According to the National Golf Foundation, 2023 saw an unprecedented 26.6 million people enjoying golf courses. Florida’s Treasure Coast has emerged as the new epicenter for play, thanks to its tropical climate, stunning natural landscapes, and innovative experiences, making it a year-round paradise for golf enthusiasts.

As golf’s popularity soars, visionary designers are creating next-level facilities and championship courses. Among these exciting expansions is the new course under construction at Glynlea Country Club, a new neighborhood coming to the master-planned community of Wylder in Port St. Lucie. As the first signature design by 17-time PGA Tour champion Jim Furyk, the golf course breaks the mold with its distinctive par 72 layout featuring five par fives and five par threes. Spanning from 4,249 to 6,755 yards with four sets of tees, the course aims to provide a tour-level experience while remaining accessible for beginners.

Amenity-Rich Golf Club Communities

Many Millennials have also recognized that living in a golf club community offers more than a home. Rather, it provides an enriched lifestyle with numerous amenities just a short golf cart ride from home. Glynlea Country Club, for example, plans to transform 10 acres into a unique amenity campus for its residents. A Toptracer Aquatic Driving Range will provide a Top Golf-style experience with floating balls and greens, while a pro shop with on-site professionals will get everyone ready for the game. Fairways Tavern will offer craft cocktails and casual dining, while resort-style and lap pools will create a tropical oasis. The Glynlea Fitness and Wellness Center includes a modern fitness center, tennis courts, and pickleball courts, ensuring residents can stay active and entertained year-round.

An Affordable Florida Lifestyle

While many millennials initially gravitated towards big-city living, they’re finding that lifestyle less appealing due to traffic, congestion, and high costs for limited offerings. Golf club communities provide a more attractive alternative, offering seclusion, gated entries, and abundant natural land. Glynlea Country Club plans to provide a diverse range of residential offerings for all price points and lifestyles. Spanning from the $400s to over $1 million, the golf club community will be home to single-family homes, townhomes, and villas. Each home is crafted by premier builders, prioritizing energy efficiency and extensive personalization options, allowing buyers to tailor their space to fit their lifestyle. With stunning views of golf courses, lakes, and wetlands, these homes offer more value and beauty. An HOA handles maintenance, landscaping, and community amenities, giving residents peace of mind whether they are at home or away.
