Parkland Golf & Country Club
A guard-gated Toll Brothers golf and country club community in Parkland, Broward County, on ~790 acres, with an 18-hole course, resort amenities, and a mandatory Sports Club membership.
Most buyers look at this community when they want newer construction with gated security and family-focused amenities. It works best if you value predictability and low-maintenance living. The tradeoff is HOA rules and less flexibility compared to non-HOA neighborhoods.
Parkland Golf & Country Club: Family Golf-Club Living in Northwest Broward
Most buyers look at Parkland Golf & Country Club (PGCC) when they want a guard-gated country-club lifestyle for a family—golf, resort amenities, and top-rated Parkland schools—in one master-planned package.
This works best if you're a family relocating to Broward who wants space, security, and a full club lifestyle, and you understand that a mandatory Sports Club membership is part of the deal.
The tradeoff is the mandatory membership and the location. Every owner pays into the Sports Club regardless of use, and Parkland is farther south than the core Palm Beach County markets. If you want to avoid club obligations, this isn't the fit.
Community Overview
PGCC is a Toll Brothers community on approximately 790 acres in Parkland (Broward County), guard-gated with 24-hour security. It comprises roughly 820 homes—villas, upscale coach homes, single-family, and estate residences—in a Mediterranean architectural style, wrapped around an 18-hole championship golf course.
This is an all-ages, family-oriented community, anchored by Parkland's A-rated schools.
Homes & Pricing
- ~1,663 to 10,000+ sq ft
- Villas and coach homes up through large estate homes
- Gourmet kitchens, spa-style baths, high-end finishes
The community is built out—this is a resale market. Pricing generally runs ~$699K to $2.8M, with premium estates higher; the median sale is around $1.6M (mid-2025), up meaningfully year-over-year. Budget to current comps.
Membership, HOA & Costs
This is the part to understand before you fall in love with a home:
- Sports Club membership is MANDATORY for all owners (minimum ~$10,000, plus one-time capital contributions). It covers the resort pool, fitness center and spa, tennis and pickleball, Kids Center, and dining venues.
- Golf membership is SEPARATE and optional—roughly $65,000 initiation and ~$1,704/month.
- All-in HOA + Sports Club runs roughly $1,200/month before golf.
Because the Sports Club is mandatory, this community is a fit for country-club-intent buyers—confirm all current dues, initiation, and capital-contribution figures before contract.
Why Buyers Choose PGCC
- Full country-club lifestyle with golf, resort amenities, and dining
- Top-rated Parkland schools and a family setting
- Guard-gated security on 790 landscaped acres
- Wide range of home sizes, villa to estate
Who Should Skip PGCC
- Want to avoid mandatory club fees → A non-equity gated community
- Prefer Palm Beach County → Boca/Delray communities are farther north
- Want 55+ → This is all-ages/family
- Budget is tight after dues → Factor the mandatory Sports Club into affordability
Rachel's Perspective
PGCC is one of Broward's premier family country-club communities—the schools, the security, and the club lifestyle are the draw. The buyers who are happiest here actually use the club; the mandatory Sports Club fee stings far less when it's part of your weekly routine.
Parkland is a bit south of where I spend most of my time, but for the right relocating family it's absolutely worth the look. If it's on your list, I'll help you understand the true all-in cost of ownership—home price plus mandatory and optional memberships—so there are no surprises after closing.
