If you’re looking for a Florida lifestyle where your backyard often doubles as a fairway, Fort Myers’ bundled golf communities are an excellent choice.

  • Key questions to ask before buying


What Is a Bundled Golf Community?

A bundled golf community includes golf membership as part of the home or condo purchase or the HOA dues. Unlike equity clubs, there’s usually no huge initiation fee, membership is “built in,” making it simpler and more cost-effective for residents.

Benefits:

  • Lower entry cost

  • Convenient golf access included in your lifestyle

  • Less hassle for part-time residents or seasonal buyers

  • Membership value embedded in the home

Things to watch:

  • HOA or dues can increase over time

  • Tee-time availability may be competitive in peak season

  • Rental policies may restrict renters’ access to amenities

  • Year-round playability thanks to Florida’s mild winters

  • Close to beaches, shopping, dining, and healthcare

  • High resale value in well-managed communities
