The July-August issue of Where to Retire magazine features the “50 Best Master-Planned Communities in the U.S.,” and no fewer than 17 of them, plus one On the Rise, are GolfCourseHome communities.

In their search, the editors of the bimonthly magazine zeroed in on those properties that are “amenity-rich, with clubhouses, recreation and activities to help residents stay fully engaged.” In today’s issue of the newsletter, we congratulate these 18 award winners, listing them by state.
