Where Are The Most Sought-after Locations For Luxury Golf Properties?

Top-class golf resorts are centrepiece features of many of the world’s best luxury developments, and the sport has helped to transform once lesser-known villages in places like Portugal’s Algarve into glamorous hotspots for investment and development. But now, with so many choices to pick from for buyers, where are the best places to look for golf property?

San Lorenzo, Algarve

San Lorenzo is the most prestigious gold resort in the Algarve, designed by renowned architects Rocky Roquemore and Joseph Lee. Its stunning setting within the Ria Formosa Natural Park means its fairways offer views over the marshes, river and Atlantic. Private members can enjoy PGA professional tuition, and relax at the luxurious clubhouse with its views over the driving range.

The surrounding São Lourenço Village is home to a stunning range of high-end properties, with properties enjoying panoramic vistas over the course and natural reserve. There’s a wide choice of properties, from detached mansions to low-rise apartments, many in beautiful buildings of just two or three storeys. The proximity to the sea and the attractions of Vilamoura make golf properties here an excellent year-round investment, too.

Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai

Anyone interested in luxury golf property will be familiar with this exclusive development, located right on the edge of the famous Fire and Earth courses, and part of the prestigious European Tour Properties Network.

Buyers can expect 1,050 Mediterranean-styled villas and apartments surrounded by lush green gardens, just a few minutes’ drive from Dubai Marina. Part of a gated community, they are built to the very highest specifications, with modern smart home devices and premium fittings. With great interest from property buyers in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and India, there’s certainly a strong demand for investors to tap into.

Pebble Beach Golf Links, California

The world-famous Pebble Golf Links in California offers players a beautiful course with stunning views over the Pacific Ocean. Many of the most exclusive properties in the resort have great views themselves of the fairways and the ocean, especially in the Upper Forest and the highly desirable Lodge areas for the best aspects over the course and Pacific.

Prices here range from just $700,000 up to around $35,000,000 for extensive homes right on the waterfront, and demand and prices has historically remained steady.

Real Club Valderrama, Sotogrande

Sotogrande has everything a property buyer could look for: strong demand, stable annual price growth, fantastic weather and facilities – and excellent golf. The Real, or Royal, Club Valderrama, was designed by none other than Robert Trent Jones, and has been named the best club in Europe by numerous golfing pros, including Sir Nick Faldo.

Much of the surrounding property is detached villas, many in a modern Mediterranean style with contemporary open-plan living spaces. Investors may be surprised that there are still buildable plots of land available, albeit extremely rarely, where you could even build your own dream home.
