Parkland Golf & Country Club: Is the HOA Worth It?

Before you fall in love with the address, understand what you’re actually paying for — and why most residents say they’d do it again in a heartbeat.

It’s one of the first questions buyers ask when Parkland Golf and Country Club comes up: “What are the HOA fees, and is it really worth it?” Having helped many families buy and sell in this community, I can tell you that the residents who live here tend to have a very clear answer: yes. Emphatically. Here’s why — and what you need to understand before you decide for yourself.

Understanding the Fee Structure

The Sports Club membership is mandatory for all residents and covers access to the resort-style pool complex, fitness center and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, Kids Center, and two dining venues. The all-in monthly cost for HOA dues and Sports Club membership runs approximately $1,200 — significant, but you need to understand what that delivers.

Golf membership is entirely separate and optional. PGCC features an 18-hole, par-72 championship course designed by Greg Norman and managed by Troon, one of the premier golf management companies in the world. Full golf membership carries its own initiation and monthly fees — a direct conversation with the club is the best way to get current numbers, as these details change.

What the Sports Club Actually Delivers

The Sports Clubhouse is a 43,000-square-foot facility with multiple dining venues — including poolside dining, a resident grill, indoor bar with live music — five swimming pools, hot tub, outdoor cabanas, professional-grade fitness center, spa, and a Kids Center. There are 10 Har-Tru tennis courts with an active pro shop and tennis leagues. The programming calendar is full, and residents interact with it constantly.

790 Acres of Thoughtful Design

PGCC sits on approximately 790 acres between University Drive and Nob Hill Road, with around 878 single-family homes, villas, and coach homes built primarily between 2005 and 2018. Water features illuminated at night, lush tropical plantings, and views of the championship course from roads, backyards, and home interiors create an environment that is, by any measure, extraordinary. The community is fully gated with 24/7 security. Homes range from well-appointed coach homes starting around $699,000 to custom estate properties well above $2.5 million.

The Schools Argument

Like all of Parkland, PGCC feeds into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High SchoolWestglades Middle School, and highly-rated elementary schools. For families weighing private school costs against the premium of living here, the math often shifts decisively. You’re getting elite school quality without the tuition, and building equity in one of South Florida’s finest communities.
