Old Palm home reduced $ 2.8 million

Old Palm is Raymond Floyd's legacy golf club in Palm Beach Gardens.  Located off PGA Blvd., Old Palm is close to BallenIsles, Mirasol and the PGA National Resort and Spa.  The golf experience at Old Palm is one of the finest in the area.

Sound like the kind of place you might want to know more about or consider living in?

How about this house where the price has been reduced $ 2.8 million to $ 5,000,000.

Old Palm Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens


It has nearly 9,000 square feet of living space with 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths.  It was a builder's private residence so you know it has every luxurious amenity available.

Honda Classic over, PGA National returns to normal

PGA National is a mammoth community in Palm Beach Gardens.  Small communities make up this resort community located between PGA Blvd. and Northlake Blvd. with homes at every price point up to nearly $1 million.

The heart of the development is the PGA National Resort & Spa and the four golf courses, each named for a towering figure in the world of golf.  The PGA of America has it's national headquarters here too.

Last week, the PGA Tour swept into town to play the Honda Classic on The Champion course.  Many locals like Camilo Villegas and Rickie Fowler were in attendance.  But the big news was that local Jupiter Island resident Tiger Woods made his first appearance at the event.  He played once as an amateur but not as a pro.  It was reported that attendance was up 40,000 over last year and I know that when I was there on Thursday the place was packed.

Each community posted a sign warning you not to park, or even attempt to park, there or face immediate towing.

So now that Tiger has gone back to Jupiter Island and Rickie Fowler has gone to his Jupiter home things are getting back to normal here.  The 164 residents who have their homes on the market will be glad to see things quiet down.  I'm sure there were fewer showings while the show was in town.

Tiger and the other hot players are certainly good for business.  In addition to the $38 million he paid for his houses, he moved his business here into the building formerly occupied by Greg Norman's White Shark business.

And Rickie Fowler plunked down nearly $1,000,000 for a home on the Loxahatchee River.

One thing the PGA residents who live on The Champion course will miss though is sitting on their back patios with a cool adult beverage watching the tournament live.

Cameron Tringale and Rickie Fowler can carpool

When Rickie Fowler moved to Jupiter recently he joined a host of PGA Tour pros who already call this area home.  The number one player in the world, Luke Donald, owns a winter house in Palm Beach Gardens.  Other notables like Steve Marino, Mark Calcavecchia, Jasper Parnevik and Briny Baird already call this area home.

Fowler, who rambles around in his new estate home, has Cameron Tringale staying with him.  So when the PGA Tour swings through town later this month to play the Honda Classic on The Champion course at PGA National they can car pool together in the new Honda the players get to drive around.

For several years the Honda Classic was played on the courses of Mirasol Country Club across the street from it's current home.  Mirasol, with two courses, is one of the area's newest country club communities like Old Palm.  PGA National and BallenIsles are two of the cities more seasoned clubs.

Palm Beach Gardens is the golf capital of the world with nearly 20 exclusive club courses in the vicinity.  The prestigious Bear's Club is located just across Donald Ross Road from Frenchman's Creek and adjacent to the Ritz-Carlton.  Most of these clubs have reciprocal playing priveledges so you don't tire of playing the same perfectly manicured course every day.  And if you stay during the summer these clubs play each other just to keep things interesting.

Even the public courses here are great.  The North Palm Beach Country Club course was recently redesigned by Jack Nicklaus for $1 and is open for daily play.

Luke Donald likes Palm Beach Gardens too

When the Honda Classic swings through town at the end of the month Luke Donald, golf's number one player, won't have far to drive.  Even though he will know doubt be given a new Honda to tool around in.



Like many professional golfers, Donald finds the combination of weather, exquisite golf courses and friends here pretty inviting and keeps a winter home here.  Many celebrities who could afford to live anywhere in the world choose the Palm Beach Gardens area.  In fact, Elin Nordegren just picked up a $ 12.3 million dollar oceanfront mansion east of Palm Beach Gardens and near Jack Nicklaus.

Many country clubs are located here like Mirasol, BallenIsles, Old Palm and Frenchman's Creek.  At these clubs golf and tennis are the order of the day.  Weekends will find the dining rooms teeming with snowbirds who love it here during the winter.

If you are looking for a great location to spend your winters or a retirement location, you should consider homes for sale in Palm Beach Gardens.  Such an expansive area has homes and townhouses or condos at every price point.  You can search for a home yourself at Coastal Florida Real Estate  or contact me at 561-762-4073.
