What Are The Best Golf Retirement Communities In The U.S.?

[Alex Yeager]

As a Realtor that moved from the Monterey Peninsula to St. George Utah – I’ve witnessed firsthand, the full spectrum of price per square foot on golf course real estate. When I left the Monterey Peninsula in 2002, your average golf home was starting somewhere around $1,200 per square foot (per. sq. ft.). Conversely, our  currently run anywhere in the neighborhood of $120 per sq. ft., to $300 per sq. ft., based on amenities, upgrades and location.

My question is this, aside from Southern Utah, what other areas around the United States offers a reasonable cost of living index and an abundance of inexpensive golf courses? 

The reason I ask is this – as everyone knows, information is King. And if  Southern Utah isn't the right fit for any of my potential buyers,  I would like to know where to refer to them based on affordability and abundance of options. 

P.S. any Realtor with access to their local MLS system that would like do some reciprocal MLS link swapping please feel free to email me so that we can arrange this  mutually beneficial arrangement.
