Explore Non-Golf Communities and Real Estate in Florida

Florida Communities Without Golf

As the nation’s undisputed #1 most golf-rich state, it’s hard to imagine any retirees, 55+, or active adults seeking a Florida community without golf.

Call Ripley’s, because believe it or not…these homebuyers exist! Even those who love golf may not want to reside in a community with the increased traffic, fees, and noise that often comes with golf course living. If you’re one of them, these non-golf Florida communities are for you. From beaches to boating to tennis, pickleball, and more, what these communities lack in golf they make up for with all the other resort-style amenities that make Florida active adult communities so special. The best part? You’re never more than a well-hit five iron from the nearest golf course should you still want to play a round—as there’s always golf nearby in The Sunshine State.
