Day 6 — Buyer Tip: Mandatory vs. Non-Mandatory Membership

Country club shopping? The single most important question: is membership mandatory?

At clubs like Boca West, St. Andrews, and Mizner Country Club, buying a home means joining the club — budget for the initiation fee and annual dues.

Prefer golf without the commitment?

Communities like Boca Pointe, Boca Lago, and Boca Greens offer optional membership.

Neither is right or wrong — but you need to know before you fall in love with a house.

I'll walk you through the numbers anytime.

Day 5 — Palm Beach County is the Pickleball Capital!

Fact: Palm Beach County is pickleball heaven.

Nearly every 55+ community and country club from Boca to Boynton has added courts — some have a dozen or more, with clinics, ladders, and leagues at every level. Newer communities being built with indoor and outdoor pickleball courts.

It's the fastest way to make 20 new friends in your first month here.
