Living on or near a golf course is about more than golf. You get green space out the back door, mountain views, and nobody building behind you. Plenty of my clients who live on a course don't play much at all.
Why buyers love golf course homes
With a home on a course, the fairway is your backyard. It's quiet in the evenings, the views stay open, and a lot of these neighborhoods have walking paths that wind along the course. Some are part of a club, and many aren't, so you can enjoy the setting without a membership.
Where to find golf course homes in the south metro
- Littleton: Homes around Raccoon Creek, Columbine Country Club and Arrowhead near Roxborough
- Highlands Ranch: Neighborhoods along Highlands Ranch Golf Club and the trails that follow it
- Lone Tree: Homes around Lone Tree Golf Club, close to Park Meadows and light rail
- Lakewood: Fox Hollow and the neighborhoods near Bear Creek
- Centennial and Greenwood Village: Older, established homes near private clubs
These homes don't come up often, and the ones that back right to a fairway tend to go fast. I can set up a search so you see new ones the day they hit the market.
What I look for in a golf course home
- Where the home sits: Some spots catch more stray balls than others. I'll walk the lot with you and look at where shots tend to land.
- The view and the sun: West-facing decks get the mountain view and the afternoon heat. Worth seeing at different times of day.
- Privacy: Check how close the cart path runs to the yard and windows.
- Fees and rules: Look at the HOA, any club fees and fence rules before you fall in love.
- Water and drainage: Courses get watered a lot. I check the basement and grading closely.
