Get Private Access →Arnold Palmer's Vision
Frenchman’s Reserve is a gated golf community in Palm Beach Gardens with approximately 350 residences on Arnold Palmer’s 18-hole championship course, established in 2000 with homes constructed between 2002 and 2016. The community is fully built out with no remaining developable lots. Its distinguishing structural feature is the range of product it contains: attached condominiums and townhomes from approximately $1 million alongside single-family estates to $11 million, all sharing the same course, clubhouse, and membership.
Attached homes on Chambord Terrace and Maison Court (condo and townhome ownership) range from 2,396 to 2,953 square feet with two to three bedrooms, currently trading between $1.05 million and $1.2 million. Single-family detached homes spread across Hermitage Circle, Floret Drive, Savoie Drive, Les Jardin Drive, Cote Azur Drive, Charroux Drive, Abondance Drive, and Montant Drive, ranging from 3,200 to 8,455 square feet, with recent sales spanning $2 million to over $10 million depending on size, condition, and course frontage.
Membership is equity-based and bundled with homeownership, meaning each member’s initiation fee purchases an equity stake in the club rather than functioning as a non-refundable entry cost. Current initiation and HOA ranges are detailed in the Snapshot sidebar. Golf, sports, and social tiers are available.
The names cause regular confusion. Frenchman’s Creek (1985) is a larger community with approximately 700 homes, two golf courses totaling 36 holes, and a beach club. Frenchman’s Reserve (2000) has a single Palmer course and fewer homes. They are separate communities with separate memberships, not different sections of the same property.
Arnold Palmer Design
Palmer’s 18-hole layout routes through the community’s interior lakes, with water in play on the majority of holes and prevailing southeast winds adding a variable that changes shot selection by season. The course rewards course management over distance and remains playable across handicap levels.
With approximately 350 member homes versus 650 or more at neighboring communities, the smaller membership base typically translates to better tee time availability during peak season.

Frenchman's Reserve Homes for Sale
197 Sales Since 2020
Since 2020, Frenchman’s Reserve has recorded 197 closed sales totaling $397 million. Average price per square foot has climbed from $282 in 2020 to $728 over the trailing 12 months. The trailing-12-month median sale price is $2.9 million across 18 transactions, with an average of 38 days on market and sale-to-list ratios between 89% and 97%.
The record sale closed in August 2025 at 667 Hermitage Circle for $10.8 million ($1,277 per square foot, 8,455 square feet), moving the community’s ceiling well above the $4 to $5 million range that had been typical for its largest homes. On the other end, attached homes on Chambord Terrace continue to trade between $1.05 million and $1.2 million, providing entry to the club at a lower price point than any single-family option. No product currently trades between $1.2 million and $2 million, a gap that reflects the structural separation between the attached and single-family housing stock.
Buyer Intelligence
Cost of ownership. Beyond the purchase price, buyers should model initiation ($115,000 to $225,000 depending on membership category as of early 2026), monthly HOA ($869 to $2,484 depending on the property, averaging approximately $1,258), annual club dues, and dining minimums. On a median-priced home of $2.9 million with golf-tier initiation, first-year non-mortgage costs include approximately $225,000 in initiation, $10,000 to $30,000 in annual HOA (depending on the property), plus annual club dues, dining minimums, and property insurance. Request the club’s current fee schedule and any pending capital assessments before submitting an offer.
Insurance and construction. Homes were built between 2002 and 2016, all under the Florida Building Code adopted post-Andrew (effective March 2002). This simplifies wind insurance underwriting relative to older communities. Roof age is a practical consideration: Florida insurers increasingly require roofs under 15 years for new policies, and the oldest homes in the community now carry 20+ year roofs. Budget for a four-point inspection and confirm current wind and flood insurance costs on any specific property. Flood zone designations vary by lot.
Renovations and architectural review. With the newest homes now 10 years old and the oldest over 20, many buyers will renovate. Frenchman’s Reserve maintains an architectural review process for exterior modifications and renovations. Confirm the current approval timeline, scope of restrictions, and any minimum build or material requirements with the HOA before closing, particularly for buyers planning significant renovation work.
Resale dynamics. The community averages roughly 20 to 30 MLS sales per year (69 in the 2021 surge, 22 in 2024, 18 over the trailing 12 months). Average days on market has compressed from 137 in 2020 to 38 in the trailing 12 months. With 160 unique addresses having transacted since 2020, turnover has been high relative to the community’s size.
Tax context. Florida’s homestead exemption and Save Our Homes cap limit annual assessed value increases to 3% for primary residents, a meaningful benefit on a $2.9 million home where assessed values may lag market values by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Seasonal buyers without homestead are assessed at full market value with no cap, producing noticeably higher annual tax bills on the same property.
Equity Golf Community
Membership at Frenchman’s Reserve is equity-based and tied to property ownership. Golf, sports, and social tiers are available, with initiation fees ranging from $115,000 to $225,000 by category (as of early 2026). Annual dues and dining minimums apply to all tiers. MLS records show initiation fees have risen from $150,000 (flat, through 2022) to the current tiered structure, so buyers should confirm current figures directly with the club.

How It Compares
Common Questions
As of early 2026, attached homes on Chambord Terrace and Maison Court (condo and townhome ownership, 2,396 to 2,953 square feet) trade between approximately $1.05 million and $1.2 million. Single-family detached homes range from roughly $2 million for 3,200-square-foot homes on Montant Drive or Abondance Drive to over $10 million for the largest estates on Hermitage Circle. The trailing-12-month median across all product types is $2.9 million. The bulk of single-family transactions close between $2 million and $5 million.
Initiation fees range from approximately $115,000 to $225,000 as of early 2026, depending on membership category: social and sports memberships sit at the lower end, full golf membership at the upper end. Annual dues and dining minimums apply to all categories but are not publicly listed; request the current fee schedule from the club. Monthly HOA fees run $869 to $2,484 depending on the property (community average approximately $1,258 per month). Initiation fees have risen from $150,000 (flat through 2022) to the current tiered structure, so these figures should be confirmed directly before modeling total cost of ownership.
Frenchman’s Reserve trades more actively than many Palm Beach Gardens golf communities. Since 2020, the community has averaged roughly 30 MLS sales per year (69 in the 2021 surge, 27 in 2023, 22 in 2024, 18 over the trailing 12 months). Average days on market have compressed from 137 in 2020 to 38 in the trailing 12 months. Of 160 unique addresses that have transacted since 2020, 32 have sold more than once. All recorded sales appear on MLS.
The attached homes on Chambord Terrace and Maison Court carry condo or townhome ownership, meaning buyers own the interior but share structural and exterior maintenance through the association. HOA fees on the attached product tend toward the lower end of the community’s $869 to $2,484 monthly range. The single-family homes on the community’s remaining streets (Hermitage, Floret, Savoie, Les Jardin, Cote Azur, Charroux, Abondance, Montant) sit on individual lots, most with private pools, and owners are responsible for exterior maintenance, landscaping, and roof replacement on their own timelines. Resale frequency also differs: Chambord and Maison units turn over more often relative to their share of the community. Both product types share identical course, clubhouse, and membership access.
Frenchman’s Creek (established 1985) is a larger community with approximately 700 homes, two golf courses totaling 36 holes, and a beach club. Frenchman’s Reserve (established 2000) has a single Arnold Palmer course and approximately 350 homes. They are separate communities with separate memberships, not different sections of the same property. Frenchman’s Creek’s campus includes amenities (beach club, two courses) that Frenchman’s Reserve does not offer. The choice between them depends on whether a buyer prioritizes broader amenities and a larger community or a smaller membership on a single course.
Mirasol offers two Tom Fazio courses (36 holes), approximately 650 homes, and a broader amenity campus that includes a full spa, with reported golf initiations of $75,000 to $125,000. Frenchman’s Reserve is a more compact community with a single Palmer course. Buyers at the $2M to $5M single-family range should also evaluate BallenIsles (three courses, larger membership) and Old Palm (Raymond Floyd design, smaller and higher-priced). Each community offers a different balance of course count, membership size, and total cost of entry. Both Mirasol and Frenchman’s Reserve are equity communities in central Palm Beach Gardens, roughly 10 minutes apart.
Average price per square foot has climbed from $282 in 2020 to $728 over the trailing 12 months across all product types. For single-family homes specifically, post-2022 average is $683 per square foot. The median sale price has moved from $1.16 million in 2020 to $2.53 million in 2024 to $2.9 million over the trailing 12 months. Total sales volume since 2020 is $397 million across 197 closed transactions. The $10.8 million record sale at 667 Hermitage Circle in August 2025 marked a step change in the community’s upper range.
Roof age is the primary insurance variable. The oldest homes (built 2002–2005) now carry 20+ year roofs, and Florida insurers increasingly require roofs under 15 years for new policies. A roof replacement on one of these earlier homes may be necessary to secure favorable terms, and buyers should factor that cost into their offer. Newer homes (built 2010–2016) face no immediate roof issue. Flood insurance requirements vary by lot based on FEMA zone designation; confirm the specific designation on any property under consideration. All homes comply with post-Andrew building code, which simplifies wind coverage underwriting.
Yes. All homes at Frenchman’s Reserve were constructed between 2002 and 2016, and no undeveloped lots remain. Buyers will not encounter new construction activity from the original developer. Renovations of existing homes are subject to the community’s architectural review process; confirm current approval timelines and scope restrictions with the HOA before closing, particularly for significant exterior modifications.
Yes. MLS records indicate leasing is permitted with restrictions, and both buyer and tenant approval by the membership board is required. Minimum lease terms and frequency limits apply. Buyers planning seasonal use or considering future rental income should confirm the current rental policy, approval process, and any waiting periods directly with the membership office before purchasing. Vehicle restrictions also apply: commercial vehicles, boats, RVs, and trucks are prohibited from the community.
The community falls within the Eisenhower Elementary School, Watkins Middle School, and Dwyer High School zones in the Palm Beach County School District. Families considering private options have several nearby: The Benjamin School (pre-K through 12, approximately 15 minutes south), The King’s Academy (pre-K through 12, approximately 10 minutes south), and Jupiter Christian School (pre-K through 8, approximately 12 minutes north). School zone assignments should be confirmed through the Palm Beach County School District, as boundaries are periodically redrawn.
Frenchman’s Reserve offers something unusual: attached homes from $1 million and single-family estates to $11 million on the same Arnold Palmer course. We’ll help you evaluate current inventory, model total cost of ownership, and navigate the membership process.
