Read This Before You Buy A Home On A Coral Gables Golf Course

Coral Gables offers some great golf course front properties.  But many people get so excited about owning a property on a golf course that they forget to ask some important questions.  First, check to see where the house is located in relation to the hole, some homes are more likely than others to end up with broken windows.  Ask the golf club for a review of their policy regarding errant balls.  There may be slight changes that can be made to the course if balls continue to rain into your pool.  Finally, know what your insurance policy covers: broken windows, injuries to your guests etc.

If that hasn’t scared you off, below are a sample of homes in Coral Gables with golf course views.  To see a full list click here, prices range from $675,000 to $3,950,000.

“Golf Course Front” Properties In Coral Gables

Santa Maria, Coral Gables

With 4 golf courses in Coral Gables including Riviera Country Club, Deering Bay Country Club, Granada and The Biltmore (2 public and 2 private), there is quite a bit of golf to be had.  I am an avid golfer (even lived in Hilton Head for a few years to try to go pro) and have played on 3 of the 4 courses in Coral Gables.   My preference is always The Biltmore because it is quite challenging and the surroundings are beautiful. 

If you are looking for a home that backs up to one of the Gables’ golf courses, there are quite a few properties currently on the market.   Click here for a list of some of the ”Golf Course Front” homes currently for sale in Coral Gables ranging in price from $729,000 to $5,900,000.
