Living Near Golf Courses In Northern Virginia
In the past, we would think that living near golf courses or rather just playing golf would be for the retired, business men or the elderly. But in our world today, golf courses are enjoyed by not only the retirees, older couples or active adults, but by young couples, singles and families with children. As a matter of fact, this all depends on the personality of the person who can enjoy a nature filled playing environment with a relaxed scenario and a challenging game.
Those living in golf course communities can tell you the benefits they get from having a golf course as their front or back yard. They can hit the course whenever they want without having to travel or relax with a quiet game right after work. Such communities are now expanding adding swimming pools, spas, fitness centers, convenient stores or pro shops and clubhouses. These facilities can be enjoyed by the whole family together without having to go an extra mile. Aside from that, activities and programs are always available for kids of all ages, young adults and their parents. Neighbors can get to know each other better, tighten their circle of friendship and just simply enjoy the community of active, friendly and like minded people.
Such golf course communities are kept private, gated and secure assuring peace and order in the community unlike others. One would not require playing golf to just appreciate the quality of living in these communities. Some golf communities have certain restrictions when it comes to public access to ensure that homeowners aren’t crowded out on the course.
Golf course communities aren’t limited to only the wealthy but there are many types of golf course homes that can fit into an affordable price range while taking advantage of the many facilities and activities of the community for the entire family.

Modern and Traditional Golf offered at Twin Lakes
"Designed by Denis Griffiths, who has done the bulk of his work in the Midwest, the Oaks Course meanders through woodlands. This should almost certainly be the choice for a golfer who does not hit the ball very far but straight. The greens are on the smallish side, but they are undulating and are well protected by mounds and bunkering."--100 Must-Play Courses of the Middle Atlantic, Golf Styles Magazine, March 2006
