If you’d like to live where you play, the area west of Winston-Salem has some of the Triad’s best-known golf communities, all within easy reach of I-40.
Here are a few places to start, and what to ask before you buy on the course.
Where to look
- Bermuda Run grew up around its country club and golf courses along the Yadkin River in Davie County. Learn about Bermuda Run.
- Oak Valley in Advance surrounds Oak Valley Golf Club, a semi-private 18-hole course designed by Arnold Palmer that opened in 1995.
- Clemmons is home to Tanglewood Park and its public golf courses. Learn about Clemmons.
Membership vs. homeownership
Owning a home on a course does not usually include golf privileges. Ask whether club membership is required, optional or invitation-only, and what initiation fees and dues apply.
Living on the course
Lots along fairways can mean beautiful views and occasional stray balls. Look at which side of the fairway the home sits on, how close the tee boxes are, and whether there is netting or tree cover.
HOA and club rules
Golf communities often have HOAs with architectural rules, dues and amenity fees separate from the club. Read the covenants and budget before you make an offer.
