Frenchman’s Reserve

Frenchman’s Reserve real estate offers a private golf and country-club lifestyle in Palm Beach Gardens, centered around an Arnold Palmer Signature course, a gated residential setting and a full range of club amenities. The community combines golf, racquet sports, fitness, spa services, dining, swimming and social programming in a more compact residential setting than many larger Palm Beach County club communities.

For buyers considering Frenchman’s Reserve in 2026, the home and the club membership should be evaluated together. Frenchman’s Reserve is a member-owned equity club, and all residents are required to hold an equity membership.

Frenchman’s Reserve Real Estate and Homes

Frenchman’s Reserve includes 341 single-family homes, 56 coach homes and 50 custom homes. The club currently describes homes ranging from approximately 2,450 to 11,000 square feet.

Housing varies by size, lot position, renovation level and proximity to the golf course and club amenities. Buyers may find coach homes, traditional single-family residences and larger custom properties within the community.

Because Frenchman’s Reserve has a relatively limited number of residences, buyers should compare current listings and recent comparable sales rather than relying on a single community-wide average.

Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course

Golf is central to Frenchman’s Reserve. The community is built around an 18-hole Arnold Palmer Signature course with a driving range, putting green, chipping green and short-game practice area.

The club also maintains golf instruction and practice facilities for members, making the course and golf program a major part of the ownership experience.

Membership at Frenchman’s Reserve

Frenchman’s Reserve is a 100% member-owned private equity country club and community.

The club currently offers two resident equity membership categories:

• Full Golf Equity: includes unlimited use of the Arnold Palmer Signature course along with tennis, swimming, fitness, spa and social facilities
• Social/Sport Equity: includes unlimited tennis, swimming, fitness, spa and social privileges along with limited golf access

Social/Sport Equity is only available with homes that already carry that membership category.

Because membership structure, dues, equity contributions and privileges can change, buyers should request the current Membership Plan and related property-owner documents before making an offer.

What Do Frenchman’s Reserve Homes Cost?

Frenchman’s Reserve includes a wide range of luxury home types, so pricing can vary substantially based on size, condition, renovation level, lot position and view.

Current listings and recent comparable sales within the same home type are the best guide to value.
