My Shameless Commercial: The 10 Brutal Truths about Searching for a Golf Course Community

1.    Every golf community is paradise...if you believe the marketing materials.
2.    Marinas and equestrian centers are nice, but if you are not a boater or horse rider, you may wind up subsidizing those who are.
3.    Real estate agents know how to sell a house.  Many don't know squat about golfing communities.
4.    A comfortable retirement can be ruined by traffic problems.  Just ask all those folks from Florida who are moving to the Carolinas.
5.    A golf course that is "open year round" isn't necessarily playable year round.
6.    A home outside a golf course community might be a better deal, and provide better golf.
7.    What's more important to you?  Access to Nordstrom or access to Goodhealth Memorial Hospital?  Good restaurants or a regional airport?  You will make at least one lifestyle tradeoff in your choice of a place to live.
8.    If you are a member of multiple courses, you won't play half of them more than a few times.  But you'll pay for the privilege.
9.    You can spend $1,200 for a weekend touring a few communities you've heard or read about.  Or you can spend $39 to get the in-depth scoop on dozens of them every year...before you visit.
10.    Only one source provides objective, unbiased information about golf communities.  And it costs just $39 a year.
