Golf community costs: membership is the number to get first
Three kinds of golf community exist and the price of a home tells you nothing about which one you are looking at: mandatory-membership clubs (an initiation fee, often five figures, plus monthly dues, both required at closing), optional-membership clubs (the course is private but the home does not require joining) and public or semi-private courses where the community simply borders the fairways. Ask the listing agent for the current membership schedule in writing, whether an initiation fee is refundable or equity-based, and whether a capital assessment is pending on the clubhouse. Add HOA and, in many newer Florida golf communities, a CDD bond that shows up on the tax bill. Our true cost of ownership calculator puts dues, taxes and insurance into one monthly number.
Questions to ask about any golf-community listing
Is membership mandatory, and what are the initiation fee and monthly dues today? Is the club member-owned or developer-owned, and is a turnover or assessment scheduled? Which holes border the lot, and has the seller had errant-ball damage claims? Is there a CDD, and how many years remain on the bond? What did the seller pay in total (HOA + club + CDD) last year? A local agent who works these communities will know which clubs are financially healthy.

Do I have to join the golf club if I buy in a golf community?
Only in mandatory-membership communities, where joining is a condition of purchase and the fees are due at closing. Many Florida and Georgia golf communities make membership optional or are built around public courses. The community's governing documents and the club's current fee schedule answer it for a specific home; get both before you offer.
