The essentials

Houses near golf courses: Everything to know

Golf areas often come with shared communities, fees, and local rules. These six facts show what to check before you buy.

  • 10 daysCondominium fees in Portugal

    When a home in a Portuguese condominium is sold, the administrator must issue a written statement of its fees and any debts within 10 days, and it must accompany the deed. A buyer who waives it takes on any debts the seller owes.

    Why it matters: The statement shows a home's condominium fees and any debts. A local lawyer can review it as part of the purchase.

  • 3 yearsUnpaid fees in Spain

    In Spain, a buyer in a shared community can be liable for the seller's unpaid community fees for the current year and the three before it. The seller must declare any debts and provide a certificate.

    Why it matters: The certificate shows the position with the community at the time of sale. A local lawyer can review it as part of the purchase.

  • 10%Spain's reserve fund

    Spanish communities of owners must keep a reserve fund of at least 10% of their last ordinary budget, for repairs and upkeep.

    Why it matters: A community's budget and reserve fund give a picture of its finances, including the upkeep of shared areas.

  • By areaService charges in Dubai

    In Dubai, an owner's share of common service charges is based on the area they own, and the charges are approved by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency.

    Why it matters: Approved rates are available from Dubai Land Department, which can help with estimating yearly costs.

  • OmbudEstate disputes in South Africa

    South Africa's Community Schemes Ombud Service covers home owners' associations, and offers a dispute service as an alternative to court.

    Why it matters: Community schemes in South Africa have a dedicated dispute route. The service's own guidance explains who can use it and how.

  • One raiLand rules in Thailand

    Thailand allows a foreigner to buy up to one rai of land for a home only after investing at least 40 million baht for five years, in designated areas.

    Why it matters: Foreign ownership of land in Thailand is restricted. A local lawyer can explain how the land under a specific house is held.

Frequently asked questions

Houses near golf courses: Your questions answered

Clear answers to help you plan your purchase.

What does near a golf course mean on this page?

On this page, a house near a golf course has at least three golf courses within 30 km, based on its mapped location. Some homes sit right beside a course, while others are a drive away, so asking for the exact distance will help you compare them.

Why should I consider a house near a golf course abroad?

A house near a golf course lets you build your days around the game, in settings that are often green, low-density, and designed for leisure. Every house on this page has at least three courses within 30 km, so you can vary your game rather than rely on a single club.

The best choices usually come down to four things: the quality and ownership of the nearby courses, how membership or playing rights work, the length of the playing season, and how easily you can travel in and out. Weigh these alongside the community's rules and fees, and you will have a clear view of both the lifestyle and the long-term costs before you commit.

Does golf membership come with the house?

It depends on the course and the home. Ask the seller whether any membership, playing rights, or discounts come with the property, and what they cost each year, so you know exactly what you are buying.

How can I check how close a house is to the course?

You can ask the seller for the exact distance, a map, and the route to the nearest course. It also helps to ask whether the house overlooks a fairway, and to visit in person if you can.

Can I rent out a house near a golf course?

You can often let a home, but the rules depend on the country, the city, and any community rules. Ask the seller and a local adviser about licences, community rules, and tax before you buy, so you can plan with confidence.

What extra costs should I plan for?

It helps to budget for community or estate fees, insurance, and upkeep as well as the purchase price. Ask for the latest budget and a record of recent fees, so you know what owning the house will cost each year.
