A golf course community is a type of residential housing development built around a golf course.
As golf became a sport also played by the middle class of the United States by the 1950s and 1960s, golf course communities also were developed for those players. During a period of “boom growth” in United States golf courses in the 1960s, approximately 25% of courses built each year were developed as a part of a real estate development.
