Old Marsh Homes For Sale

Old Marsh is a gated high-end luxury golf course community in the heart of Palm Beach Gardens buffered on 3 sides by nature preserves and wetlands that will never be developed. Old Marsh real estate and homes for sale has 186 home-sites situated on to 1-acre lots, each with beautiful lake, golf, and marsh views, as well as offering vast wild life and serenity. Each custom estate home is created with old world charm and is exquisitely designed.

In 1984 Old Marsh partners purchased what was known as the Lewis Ranch, which was 456 acres of unspoiled marshes tucked away in Palm Beach County. From this amazing property a private residential golf community was created.

In 1986 golfer Pete Dye was called in to design Old Marsh’s golf course amongst the beautiful surroundings of grass wetlands and in 1987 the course was opened. In its first year Old Marsh had the incredible honour of being ranked among America’s 100 Greatest courses. Today the 7021 yards course has been ranked the 6^th best in the state of Florida and has been called Pete Dye’s “Mount Everest of Golf”. It has also been awarded certification from Audubon International for its environmentally enhancing design and maintenance. The course is unforgettably picturesque with its abundant species of wildlife such as the three-foot high Sandhill Crane, Egrets, endangered Wood Storks, Bobcats, Florida Deer, and even American Bald Eagles.

The elegant 25,000 square foot clubhouse includes a lavish reception area and displays the historic club collection of Scottish Club maker Laurie Auchterlonie. Being a small private club, Old Marsh requires no advance tee times and accommodates players of all skill levels. Men’s and women’s locker rooms include spas and saunas. Members may play with caddie or cart. Old Marsh has been recognized nationally for its outstanding caddie program. Amenities at the club include the finest personalized service, professional golf shop, private locker rooms, and two Har-Tru tennis courts.

The clubhouse is open all year round so you can enjoy fine dining in either the formal or informal dining and bar areas that overlook a tranquil 5-acre lake that divides the 9^th and 18^th holes. This is a picture of beauty where a member can escape the everyday and watch the Florida sun sink into the marshes.
