When you buy a Four Seasons Private Residence on or near a golf course, you’re not just getting a world-class golfing experience and jaw-dropping vistas, you’re also gaining access to a plethora of outdoor activities, award-winning restaurants, and sporting amenities for the whole family. Moreover, properties with their own golf courses tend to retain their value over time. Most important, time on the fairways fosters friendships and community—all in your own backyard. 

Here, we look at six Four Seasons Private Residences destinations where golf and the good life meet. 

The Residences at Naples Beach Club 

Naples Beach Club’s 95 golfside condos have stunning views of The Gardens, the new 18-hole golf course designed by Tom Fazio. The course is a tropical paradise, featuring palm-fringed fairways, shimmering lakes, and emerald-hued Bermuda grass. Golfers hoping to up their game can train at the robust practice facilities. Novices, meanwhile, can tee off at the family-friendly putting course, where state-of-the-art lighting allows for a new summer tradition, nighttime putting. End the day with a nightcap at The Shed, the clubhouse’s chic lounge and bar with a wrap-around porch and fire-pit, where you can compare bogeys and birdies to your heart’s content.

Four Seasons Private Residences Caye Chapel, Belize

A magnificent private island off the coast of Belize, Caye Chapel lies on the edge of the world’s second-largest barrier reef. Residents of the forthcoming Four Seasons will enjoy membership to the exclusive Caye Chapel Golf & Ocean Club, home to a Greg Norman-designed 10-hole championship course. Designed to be in harmony with the landscape, the course features long, sweeping fairways and spectacular ocean views on all sides. It reaches a crescendo at hole 4, known as “the Blue Hole,” where the green meets the blue of the Caribbean.

Sculpted into the dunes of Saudi Arabia’s Shura Island, Shura Links—an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by the famed golf course architect Brian Curley—winds through sand hills before skimming the Red Sea’s spectacular shoreline. The country’s first championship island golf course, Shura Links offers multiple tee options at each hole, making every round a distinct experience. The course ends at the 18^th hole with a magnificent view of the modern Clubhouse, with its striking petal-shaped roof, designed by the international architecture firm Foster + Partners. The social hub of the property, the Clubhouse includes a pro shop and restaurant, as well as a residents-only swimming pool and gym. Foster + Partners also designed the 75 luxury villas that dot the property. 

Four Seasons Private Residences Abu Dhabi at Saadiyat Beach 

One of the many appeals of owning a Four Seasons Private Residence here is the proximity of the development to the Saadiyat Beach Golf Course, the Arabian Gulf’s first beachfront course, and also the first in the United Arab Emirates to be certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. Designed by the legendary Gary Player, the sustainably managed 18-hole course features large bunkers and multiple tee positions. Luxurious amenities include Hawksbill, a posh clubhouse restaurant, and premier practice facilities, including a golf simulation room. Recently, the back nine was redesigned in partnership with Nicklaus Design, levelling up an already spectacular course. 

Four Seasons Private Residences Puerto Rico 

At the newest Four Seasons community of oceanfront estates and luxury condos in Puerto Rico, homeowners can enjoy a golfing experience like no other: The 18-hole, par-72 Bahía Beach Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., undulates across the landscape, offering views of the majestic El Yunque rainforest, multiple scenic lakes, and miles of golden beach. Certified as a Silver Signature Sanctuary by Audubon International, the course is a protected habitat for wildlife and tropical birds. Plush changing rooms, a pro shop, a putting green, and a driving range with Trackman golf simulator round out the amenities. 

Four Seasons Private Residences Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort, Florian Park  

Located next to Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort, within the gated Golden Oak neighbourhood, Florian Park is a new enclave of just 40 high-end homes. While the nearby storied amusement park is a prime attraction for the younger set, the acclaimed Tranquilo Golf Course is the main draw for the adults. Designed by Tom Fazio, the 18-hole, par-71 championship course offers rolling fairways at various elevations and four sets of tees to suit all levels of play. A favourite among pros, Tranquilo has hosted both PGA and LPGA events here, making it one of the top golfing experiences in Central Florida.
