GOLF COMMUNITIES
Connecting with a New Location

 What makes a great golf community? What do you look for in a new residence, a new neighborhood and a new area? What would be an improvement over where you are now?

“Location, location, location” is the cliché answer to the question about the three most important factors in choosing a new home. And that was often true if the proximity you sought was to your place of business. But we’re well into the 21st century now and you can work from anywhere that has good cell-phone service and high-speed Internet access. And even if you’re retired, you can still manage your personal business and stay in instant touch with family and friends using the same technology.

Across the American West and down into Mexico, established golf communities are expanding and new ones are being developed in locations prized for their agreeable weather and their nearness to a year-round variety of outdoor recreations. In addition to distinguished private golf courses, each has a unique mix of on-site amenities like fitness facilities, clubhouse dining, community services, stables, spas and so much more. And if you can find what you want in a well-planned development with stylish, energy-efficient homes at a price that fits your budget, then that’s the location for you.

Where are those great Western golf communities? Here are our top residential choices for “The Best of The West":
