Old Palm Golf Club Homes for Sale: A 2026 Buyer Guide

Old Palm Golf Club homes for sale occupy a distinctive corner of the Palm Beach Gardens luxury market: a private golf club community with fewer than 325 residences, four estate neighborhoods and a Raymond Floyd-designed golf course.

For buyers comparing Palm Beach County’s private club communities, Old Palm stands out for its relatively low residential density, large single-family homes and golf-centered lifestyle. But the home price is only one part of the decision. Membership requirements, club dues, association costs and Old Palm’s Community Development District assessment all belong in the buyer’s budget.

Here is a current 2026 guide to the homes, golf, membership structure and ownership costs buyers should understand before purchasing in Old Palm.

What Makes Old Palm Golf Club Different?

Old Palm is intentionally smaller than many of the major private golf communities in Palm Beach Gardens.

The club’s own real estate information describes four neighborhoods and fewer than 325 homes. Rather than combining several golf courses with thousands of residences, Old Palm centers the community around one Raymond Floyd-designed course and a relatively limited collection of single-family homes.

Raymond Floyd serves as the club’s Honorary Chairman and designed the golf course around a mix of lakes, native vegetation, generous fairways and varied tee and pin placements.

Golf remains a major part of the identity of the community, but club amenities extend beyond the course. Old Palm also offers clubhouse dining, fitness, spa and salon services, resort-style pools and guest casitas.

Old Palm’s Four Residential Neighborhoods

Old Palm Golf Club officially organizes its real estate into four neighborhoods. Understanding the differences is more useful than relying on a single community-wide price or square-footage figure.

Golf Estates

Golf Estates includes 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom residences positioned around the golf course and nature preserves. According to Old Palm, homes in this neighborhood are generally around 4,000 to 5,000 square feet on approximately quarter-acre homesites.

For buyers who want Old Palm’s club lifestyle without maintaining one of the community’s largest estates, Golf Estates can provide a comparatively smaller residential footprint.

Isle Estates

Isle Estates is Old Palm’s newest residential neighborhood. Homes generally range from about 4,300 to 6,800 square feet, with architecture influenced by British West Indies, Bermuda and Caribbean design.

Grand Estates

Grand Estates residences are positioned on approximately half-acre homesites. Old Palm describes these homes as generally ranging from about 4,800 to 7,000 square feet, with golf-course or water views available depending on the property.

Custom Estates

Custom Estates represents the largest residential scale within Old Palm. These homes sit on approximately one-acre homesites and are individually designed, with residences commonly ranging from about 7,000 to more than 15,000 square feet.

At this level of the market, two homes within the same community can differ substantially in age, architecture, renovation level, lot position and square footage. Buyers should compare individual properties rather than treating Old Palm as one uniform product.

How Much Do Old Palm Golf Club Homes Cost?

Old Palm is firmly within the luxury and ultra-luxury segment of the Palm Beach Gardens market.

Pricing can span several million dollars for smaller estate homes to well into eight figures for larger Custom Estates. Because relatively few properties change hands compared with larger communities, a single high-value transaction can materially move an average or median.

For that reason, current active inventory and the most recent comparable sales within the appropriate Old Palm neighborhood are more useful than a broad community-wide price range.

Buyers can browse current luxury homes for sale in Palm Beach Gardens and work with an agent to isolate Old Palm properties and recent comparable sales.

The Raymond Floyd Golf Course

Golf is central to the Old Palm experience.

World Golf Hall of Famer Raymond Floyd designed the private course and remains closely associated with the club as Honorary Chairman. The course uses lakes, native vegetation, generous landing areas and flexible tee locations to create different playing options.

Old Palm is also expanding its golf practice offering in 2026. The club says a new walkable 9-hole par-3 short course is targeted for completion in November 2026. The project is designed to provide a separate setting for both practice and short-course play.

For serious golfers comparing communities, that combination of a full Raymond Floyd course and dedicated short-game options can be an important distinction.

Is Golf Membership Required When You Buy at Old Palm?

Old Palm operates under an equity membership structure, but buyers should be careful with blanket statements about membership because the governing documents contain property-specific and ownership-history provisions.

Old Palm’s published Membership Plan states that certain purchasers, including qualifying resale buyers of property originally acquired from the developer after September 2, 2010, must acquire and maintain a Premier Membership while they own the property.

The important point for a buyer is simple: confirm the membership obligation attached to the specific home before signing a contract.

The club’s current public website does not publish a current membership contribution or annual dues schedule. Buyers should obtain the latest figures and membership documents directly from Old Palm rather than relying on older numbers circulating online.

If private-club ownership is new to you, our Palm Beach County country club membership guide explains how equity contributions, annual dues and club obligations can affect the total cost of owning a home.

How Does the Old Palm Equity Refund Work?

The published Old Palm Membership Plan includes a repayment structure for qualifying resigned Equity Memberships.

Under that plan, repayment generally occurs after the membership has been resigned and resold by the club. The document provides an 80% repayment formula for applicable Equity Memberships, with the exact calculation depending on when the membership was acquired and the contribution applicable when it is resold.

The plan also gives the club the ability to change the repayment percentage prospectively for future memberships.

Because membership terms can change and individual circumstances matter, buyers should request the current Membership Plan, fee schedule and written explanation of any repayment rights directly from the club before purchasing.

Old Palm CDD Assessments in 2026-2027

Old Palm is also located within the Old Palm Community Development District. The CDD imposes a non-ad valorem assessment that appears on the property tax bill.

For fiscal year 2027, the published residential assessments range from approximately $3,743 to $7,977 per year, depending on the district’s property category.

Important: these are CDD assessment categories, not necessarily the same names Old Palm uses to market its four residential neighborhoods. The CDD assessment is also separate from club dues, membership contributions, property-owner association charges and property taxes.

A buyer should therefore review the actual tax bill and estoppel or association documents for the specific property rather than applying one community-wide number.

What Other Costs Should an Old Palm Buyer Review?

Before making an offer on an Old Palm home, ask for a complete picture of recurring and one-time costs.

• Purchase price
• Current club membership contribution
• Annual club dues
• Any club assessments or charges
• Property-owner association assessments
• Old Palm CDD assessment
• Property taxes after the sale
• Homeowners and windstorm insurance
• Flood insurance when applicable
• Maintenance costs for the individual home and lot

This is particularly important with larger Custom Estates, where the ongoing cost of maintaining the residence, pool, landscaping and mechanical systems can be materially different from a smaller Golf Estates property.

Old Palm vs. Other Palm Beach Gardens Golf Communities

Palm Beach Gardens gives private-club buyers several very different options.

PGA National is much larger, with multiple courses, a resort component and a broader range of housing.

BallenIsles is another major private club community, with three golf courses and a larger residential and amenity footprint.

Old Palm’s distinction is its smaller residential scale, single Raymond Floyd course and concentration of large single-family estate homes.

Is Old Palm Golf Club Right for You?

Old Palm may be worth considering if your priorities include:

• A private golf club environment
• A low-density residential community
• Single-family luxury and estate homes
• A Raymond Floyd-designed golf course
• Large homesites in the Grand and Custom Estate sections
• Central Palm Beach Gardens access
• A club-centered primary or seasonal residence

It may be less suitable for a buyer who wants attached housing, a broad range of entry-level price points or a large multi-course resort community.

The decision should ultimately come down to the specific home, the current membership terms and how much you expect to use the golf and club amenities.
