2024 GCH Annual Index
The Year: A Growing Market, with Headwinds
Riverton Pointe, SC: Many new homes to choose from.
Purchasing real estate in 2024 continued to be a challenge for purchasers who depended on obtaining a mortgage. The number of cash buyers rose as Boomers sold their primary homes for increasingly higher prices.
The highly anticipated drop in the Fed rate took place–a total of a full point–but those moves haven’t translated into lower mortgage rates.
Quite the contrary, as rates resumed their climb in September after the first rate cut.
Lake Arrowhead, GA: A variety of new home designs.
Some rate watchers have predicted higher mortgage rates in 2025. Low inventories continue to be a concern as well. Thus, your investigations on Golf Course Home will need to be thorough and carefully reviewed
One thing we suggest is to keep an eye out for golf communities where inventories are growing and new homes are being built. Heritage Shores, DE, Riverton Pointe, SC, and Lake Arrowhead, GA, all have robust builder activity. And condos and townhouses are consistently the most affordable.
Luxury Homes Come to the Fore
The Field Club, MA: Martha’s Vineyard $6M luxury residence.
The desire for luxury homes (over $800,000) continues to rise as cash-flush Boomers seek their retirement homes, and thus, you will see more luxury homes featured in our 3x/week e-newsletters and on GolfCourseHome.com in 2025.
And keep your eye out for more buying opportunities and more communities–nine new entries in 2024. Look for a tenth community in January. —The Editors (Lead photo:The Club at Ibis, FL)

Golf Grows Again
Indian River Colony Club, FL: Golfers play for a Cure.
The good news for the game of golf is that the sport continues to grow. According to the National Golf Foundation, the number of on-course golfers has increased for six straight years.
The NGF now says that more than 26 million people play golf either on-course or both on- and off-course. Add in another 18 million who play only off-course and you have a total of 45 million Americans who pick up the sticks and play.
Since 2018, on-course golfers have been getting younger (average age down to 43 from 46) and an additional 1.3 million females have hit the links for the first time.
Course Closures Shrink, New Courses Arrive
Reynolds Lake Oconee, GA: New T. Fazio layout on the horizon.
In another positive note, the NGF noted that golf course closures came in last year at their lowest figure in nearly 20 years.
The flip side of the closures was new course openings–the U.S. celebrated 34 new golf course openings in 2023, the highest number in over a decade.
The NGF also follows new courses under construction and in the planning stages. As of the end of 2023, the NGF was tracking 69 new courses under construction and 47 in the planning stages. More golfers, new places to play—that’s a great outlook for the coming year.
Golf’s increasing participation, active social media presence, and growing off-course activity have all had a hand in helping Golf Course Home easily blowing past last year’s visitor numbers and total visitor inquiries.
Use the links below to see a review of all the activity the GCH Network enjoyed in 2024 and use it to help plan your searches in 2025.
A Focus on Retirement
Colonial Heritage, VA: A 55+ community, prime for retirees.
In 2024, more than 11,000 people turned 65 every day of the year–more than 4.10 million, and that trend is expected to continue into 2027. By 2030 the number of people over 65 in the U.S. will have climbed to more than 74 million.
Many of these about-to-be-retirees want to buy in a golf community even though they haven’t picked up the game yet. Our research shows that these potential buyers see buying into a golf community a vibrant opportunity to pick up the game.
Our 2024 stats show that the No. 1 reason someone visits GolfCourseHome.com is to find a home for their retirement.
To help you in that search, see below for links to the GCH Golf Retirement Planner, as well as links and summaries of the year’s activity.
And finally, thank you, our subscribers and visitors, for continuing to make Golf Course Home–now entering its 30th year since its founding in 1995 and its 26th year online–a part of your journey to a new community and a new chapter in your lives.
It continues to be our privilege to serve you. Have a Happy New Year and stay safe and healthy in 2025!–David Lott, Founder & Publisher

Most-Wanted AMENITIES
Quail Ridge, FL‘s expansive tennis and pickleball center.
Retirement communities and guarded gates remained the top two priorities for buyers searching for a community in 2024.
Overall, there were significant changes in preferences as fitness activities took a jump higher with fitness center, tennis, camps/children’s activities and walking trails all appearing in the Top 10 list after being knocked off last year.
Water activities remained important with lake, marina and boating all a Top 10-desired amenity.
Out of the Top 10 in 2024 were rentals, equestrian facilities and olympic-size pool.
One wrinkle the editors didn’t expect was to have pickleball nowhere near the most-desired amenities list.
While it may be the fastest growing sport in the U.S., buyers weren’t searching for it. It may just be that pickleball, like swimming pools, are now simply expected to be part of the amenity line-up.
See the complete Top 10 below, with links connecting to a list featuring all communities with the stated amenity.
2024 Top 10 Amenities
1. Retirement Communities
2. Gated Communities
3. Pet Friendly

5. Lake
6. Tennis – New
7. 24-Hour Security

2024 GCH Annual Index
The Year: A Growing Market, with Headwinds
Riverton Pointe, SC: Many new homes to choose from.
Purchasing real estate in 2024 continued to be a challenge for purchasers who depended on obtaining a mortgage. The number of cash buyers rose as Boomers sold their primary homes for increasingly higher prices.
The highly anticipated drop in the Fed rate took place–a total of a full point–but those moves haven’t translated into lower mortgage rates.
Quite the contrary, as rates resumed their climb in September after the first rate cut.
Lake Arrowhead, GA: A variety of new home designs.
Some rate watchers have predicted higher mortgage rates in 2025. Low inventories continue to be a concern as well. Thus, your investigations on Golf Course Home will need to be thorough and carefully reviewed
One thing we suggest is to keep an eye out for golf communities where inventories are growing and new homes are being built. Heritage Shores, DE, Riverton Pointe, SC, and Lake Arrowhead, GA, all have robust builder activity. And condos and townhouses are consistently the most affordable.
Luxury Homes Come to the Fore
The Field Club, MA: Martha’s Vineyard $6M luxury residence.
The desire for luxury homes (over $800,000) continues to rise as cash-flush Boomers seek their retirement homes, and thus, you will see more luxury homes featured in our 3x/week e-newsletters and on GolfCourseHome.com in 2025.
And keep your eye out for more buying opportunities and more communities–nine new entries in 2024. Look for a tenth community in January. —The Editors (Lead photo:The Club at Ibis, FL)

Golf Grows Again
Indian River Colony Club, FL: Golfers play for a Cure.
The good news for the game of golf is that the sport continues to grow. According to the National Golf Foundation, the number of on-course golfers has increased for six straight years.
The NGF now says that more than 26 million people play golf either on-course or both on- and off-course. Add in another 18 million who play only off-course and you have a total of 45 million Americans who pick up the sticks and play.
Since 2018, on-course golfers have been getting younger (average age down to 43 from 46) and an additional 1.3 million females have hit the links for the first time.
Course Closures Shrink, New Courses Arrive
Reynolds Lake Oconee, GA: New T. Fazio layout on the horizon.
In another positive note, the NGF noted that golf course closures came in last year at their lowest figure in nearly 20 years.
The flip side of the closures was new course openings–the U.S. celebrated 34 new golf course openings in 2023, the highest number in over a decade.
The NGF also follows new courses under construction and in the planning stages. As of the end of 2023, the NGF was tracking 69 new courses under construction and 47 in the planning stages. More golfers, new places to play—that’s a great outlook for the coming year.
Golf’s increasing participation, active social media presence, and growing off-course activity have all had a hand in helping Golf Course Home easily blowing past last year’s visitor numbers and total visitor inquiries.
Use the links below to see a review of all the activity the GCH Network enjoyed in 2024 and use it to help plan your searches in 2025.
A Focus on Retirement
Colonial Heritage, VA: A 55+ community, prime for retirees.
In 2024, more than 11,000 people turned 65 every day of the year–more than 4.10 million, and that trend is expected to continue into 2027. By 2030 the number of people over 65 in the U.S. will have climbed to more than 74 million.
Many of these about-to-be-retirees want to buy in a golf community even though they haven’t picked up the game yet. Our research shows that these potential buyers see buying into a golf community a vibrant opportunity to pick up the game.
Our 2024 stats show that the No. 1 reason someone visits GolfCourseHome.com is to find a home for their retirement.
To help you in that search, see below for links to the GCH Golf Retirement Planner, as well as links and summaries of the year’s activity.
And finally, thank you, our subscribers and visitors, for continuing to make Golf Course Home–now entering its 30th year since its founding in 1995 and its 26th year online–a part of your journey to a new community and a new chapter in your lives.
It continues to be our privilege to serve you. Have a Happy New Year and stay safe and healthy in 2025!–David Lott, Founder & Publisher

Most-Wanted AMENITIES
Quail Ridge, FL‘s expansive tennis and pickleball center.
Retirement communities and guarded gates remained the top two priorities for buyers searching for a community in 2024.
Overall, there were significant changes in preferences as fitness activities took a jump higher with fitness center, tennis, camps/children’s activities and walking trails all appearing in the Top 10 list after being knocked off last year.
Water activities remained important with lake, marina and boating all a Top 10-desired amenity.
Out of the Top 10 in 2024 were rentals, equestrian facilities and olympic-size pool.
One wrinkle the editors didn’t expect was to have pickleball nowhere near the most-desired amenities list.
While it may be the fastest growing sport in the U.S., buyers weren’t searching for it. It may just be that pickleball, like swimming pools, are now simply expected to be part of the amenity line-up.
See the complete Top 10 below, with links connecting to a list featuring all communities with the stated amenity.
2024 Top 10 Amenities
1. Retirement Communities
2. Gated Communities
3. Pet Friendly

5. Lake

7. 24-Hour Security
