The Community
Old Palm Golf Club is an estate community of about 300 homes in Palm Beach Gardens, built around a Raymond Floyd course. Every purchase requires an equity membership bought from the club. Two things define it. The first is the golf and the membership rule: the course sits at the center, and membership is mandatory and tied to ownership. The second is the estates. Homes run from 3,400 to more than 13,000 square feet on lots up to nearly three acres, with a large practice and instruction facility.

Old Palm was developed as a small, high-end golf-estate community rather than a large amenity club, centered on its Raymond Floyd course. Membership is included with ownership, which simplifies the path for a buyer and distinguishes it from communities with separate initiation. The community is estate-scaled and golf-focused throughout.
Holding roughly three hundred estates, Old Palm is intentionally intimate for a club of its caliber, which keeps the course uncrowded and the community closely knit. The arrangement that ties membership to the property is a genuine point of difference in a market where buyers at neighboring clubs often navigate separate initiation, waitlists, and approval processes, and it means a purchase here delivers the golf and the home as a single package. Within Palm Beach Gardens, a corridor known for its concentration of elite golf communities, Old Palm sits firmly at the estate end of that spectrum, drawing owners who want serious golf paired with the privacy and scale of a large custom home.
The Raymond Floyd course anchors the community, supported by a clubhouse and a renowned practice and instruction facility that draws serious golfers. With membership tied to ownership and a limited number of homes, the golf experience is uncrowded and personal. The club is organized around the game at a high level.
The practice and instruction facility is a defining feature rather than an afterthought, giving members the range, short-game areas, and teaching resources to genuinely work on their games, which is a large part of why Old Palm appeals to golfers who take the sport seriously. With membership limited to about 300 estate owners, the course carries little traffic and tee times are rarely hard to find. The overall effect is a club that feels private and personal in a way larger, more heavily membered communities cannot easily match, and the game sits at the center of daily life here.
Homes are substantial custom estates on generous lots, set within a fully gated and staffed community. The architecture is high-end and oriented to the golf and lake settings. Low density and consistent standards keep the community polished and private.
Estates here range from the mid thousands of square feet well past ten thousand, so the community holds substantial custom homes throughout rather than a mix of scales, and each is set on a generous lot with room and privacy between neighbors. Many are positioned to take in golf and lake views, and the prevailing standard of architecture and finish is high across the community rather than concentrated in a few showpieces. Full gating and staffing support that estate character day to day, and the combination of low density, consistent quality, and a small owner base gives Old Palm a settled, discreet feel that owners tend to hold onto for the long term.
With a limited number of estates and membership included in ownership, Old Palm is an estate-driven, closely held market. The finest course and lake positions are closely watched. Understanding the community means knowing its estates individually and how the included membership factors into value.

Common Questions
Old Palm is an all-estate community, and the range from the entry homes to the largest custom estates is wide. The floor has moved up steadily since 2021. For the current median sale price and median price per square foot, see the market table above, which reads live from the MLS. Those figures reflect home prices only; the required equity membership is paid separately to the club. Homes at the entry end are typically 3,400 to 6,500 square feet and built between 2003 and 2015 with original or partially updated finishes. The middle band is the most active segment, covering 4,200 to 9,400 square feet with golf course frontage or premium lot positions. The top tier consists of custom estates of 7,000 to 13,500+ square feet on Tillinghast Circle and other premier locations.
Every buyer purchases an equity membership directly from the club, paid outside the real estate closing. The reported fee is six figures, and the schedule is revised periodically. It has reportedly roughly doubled since 2022, with increases in 2023 and 2024, so confirm the current figure with the club. It is structured as an equity purchase rather than a non-refundable initiation. Whether any part is recovered on resale, and on what transfer terms, is the question to settle with the club before an offer.
Median price per square foot has roughly doubled in five years. The community’s record sale was a 9,655-square-foot estate on Tillinghast Circle in July 2022. Post-2022 volume has been substantial for a community of roughly 300 estates. The 2024 to early 2026 period has held that level rather than giving it back.
For the current closed-sale count and total volume, see the market table above, which reads live from the MLS. Turnover here is modest in absolute terms because the community is small. Annual volume has swung widely, with a post-COVID surge in 2021 and a sharp pullback in 2023. Active inventory typically ran between four and eight listings at a time in the years through early 2026. Median days on market is moderate, though the range is wide: some properties transact pre-MLS in under two weeks, while overpriced listings can sit for six months or more.
Mirasol is a larger community with two Tom Fazio courses, a broader price range at both ends, and a lower initiation fee. It is significantly larger and includes a wider variety of product types. Loxahatchee Club is the closest comparison in scale, price, and membership cost, with a Jack Nicklaus course. Both clubs describe their membership as equity, so compare what each returns on resale. Buyers should confirm whether this distinction affects resale recovery. Bears Club is invitation-only, operating at a higher price floor and exclusivity level. Total cost of entry at each community should be compared on an apples-to-apples basis: home price, membership fee, and annual dues combined. For a broader view, see our Palm Beach County golf community listings.
Monthly HOA varies by estate and runs into four figures, which is meaningful on an annual basis. The wide range reflects differences in lot size, home size, and any special assessments attached to specific properties. Annual club dues are billed separately and cover course maintenance, facility operations, and member programming; the club does not publish these figures publicly. Together with the equity membership, these recurring and upfront costs should be modeled as part of the total carrying cost before making an offer.
Raymond Floyd, winner of four major championships: the 1976 Masters, the 1986 U.S. Open, and the 1969 and 1982 PGA Championships. Floyd’s playing career spanned from 1963 to 2010, including 22 PGA Tour wins. The course routes through a preserved greenbelt and wildlife corridor, creating natural separation between fairways and residential lots.
Three things to confirm before any offer. First, wind insurance: all homes were built between 2003 and 2023 under the post-Hurricane Andrew Florida Building Code, which generally qualifies for more favorable rates, but roof age is the primary variable. Ask for quotes assuming current roof condition and a separate quote assuming a roof replacement at closing. Second, flood insurance: lot elevation varies within the community, and some lots may fall in higher-risk FEMA zones. Confirm the flood zone designation for the specific property. Third, for homes built before 2010, ask whether any systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) have been updated since original construction, as carriers increasingly factor system age into underwriting.
Florida’s homestead exemption caps assessed value increases at 3% per year under Save Our Homes. On an Old Palm estate, this produces substantial savings over a multi-year hold. Seasonal buyers who do not declare homestead are reassessed at full market value annually. With 3% annual appreciation, the gap between homesteaded and non-homesteaded tax bills widens significantly after just two or three years. This is one of the most underappreciated cost differences for out-of-state buyers evaluating Old Palm as a seasonal residence.
Homes at the entry end of the community are predominantly 2003 to 2006 construction with original or lightly updated finishes. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and mechanical systems in these homes are 20+ years old. Buyers acquiring in this tier should budget for a significant renovation to bring the home to the standard of the updated estates trading above them. Scope typically includes kitchen and bath remodels, impact window and door upgrades where not already installed, HVAC replacement, pool resurfacing, and landscape refresh. Whole-house generators are standard in higher-priced estates but may need to be added to earlier builds. Buyers should factor renovation cost into their total acquisition budget when comparing an original-condition home against a renovated one, as the gap often narrows once the renovation is complete.
Old Palm’s governing documents include restrictions in several categories. Pets are allowed but subject to restrictions that should be confirmed with the HOA, particularly for larger breeds or multiple animals. Commercial vehicles, trucks, and recreational vehicles are prohibited from being stored or parked on residential lots. Leasing is restricted: specific terms, including minimum lease duration, frequency limits, and board approval requirements, should be confirmed before purchase. Leasing restrictions are particularly relevant for buyers who do not plan to occupy the property year-round, as the restrictions combined with non-homestead tax treatment can significantly affect the carrying cost of a seasonal residence. Request the current governing documents and any recent amendments from the HOA or your advisor before making an offer.
Old Palm maintains an architectural review committee that must approve all exterior modifications, additions, and new construction. Buyers planning significant renovations should factor the approval timeline into their project schedule. Review typically covers exterior materials, colors, landscaping changes, hardscape additions (pools, patios, driveways), and any changes visible from the street or golf course. The committee’s standards are designed to maintain visual consistency across the community. For interior-only renovations, confirm whether any permitting or HOA notification is required, particularly for work that involves structural changes, electrical panel upgrades, or plumbing relocation. Your advisor can provide guidance on typical approval timelines and the scope of recent renovation projects within the community.
