The popularity of golf has increased significantly over the last few decades. Baby boomers are entering their prime golf years and people in general crave a calming physical activity that provides an escape from their anxious lives. As the game has risen among the ranks, the culture has transformed as well. The fusion of the golf lifestyle with real estate has resulted in a rising demand for golf properties among Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert real estate, as well as other Palm Springs area homes for sale.
While the first wave of country club communities surged in the 1970s and early 1980s, most of the popular golf communities are much newer and more modern. At one time many golfers simply performed an internet search for “Palm Desert Golf Communities” in hopes of finding a home with a golf course nearby; now many are looking directly for more opulent “big name” courses that are coupled with the amenities associated with the lifestyle they seek. The appeal of master planned golf communities also extends to those looking for a retirement home or second residence that gives them the feeling of enjoying an endless vacation.
The options among Palm Springs area homes for sale are wide-ranging, with offerings that provide homeowners with a sense of luxury that is unrivaled in other parts of the country. In addition to the highest quality courses, buyers can find everything from a multitude of dining options, private jet services and an on-site concierge, to access to lavish spa treatments, hiking trails, horseback riding and community events. Whether you are looking for a golf community within Rancho Mirage, La Quinta or anywhere else in the Palm Springs valley, keep in mind of the fundamental features that can make it great: course design, impeccable maintenance, easy access, and most of all, superior residences.
