Discover America's Best Clubhouse Communities

The nation’s finest luxury communities feature grand clubhouses with the most popular upscale amenities for retirees, people who work remotely and busy families. A central community clubhouse is the hub of social and fitness activities for members, residents and their guests.

Why choose a clubhouse community?

Do your lifestyle plans include a relaxing dinner with friends or signing up for fitness classes with a neighbor? Or a leisurely round of golf on your private course or vigorous matches on the tennis and pickleball courts? Joining an activity group where you can learn a new skill or volunteer for a good cause? Clubhouse communities are designed to bring people together with facilities and services that promote an enjoyable and healthy social environment for everyone.

What are the benefits of living in a clubhouse community?

  • Fine Dining and Refreshments. Every clubhouse community offers its own distinctive food and beverage options, from fine-dining restaurants to more casual cafes and evening sports lounges to morning coffee bars. The best clubhouses offer them all, plus banquet halls for anniversary celebrations and special community events.
  • Golf, Tennis and Pickleball. The finest golf and racquet clubs feature central clubhouses with the extras that members appreciate, like pro shops, locker rooms, players‘ lounges and practice areas with instructional services that will improve your game.
  • Fitness Facilities. Today’s clubhouse communities put a premium on their state-of-the-art fitness centers, with the latest workout equipment and group exercise programs. Many upscale clubhouse fitness centers also feature indoor pools for water aerobics, plus on-site spa and salon services so that members can feel and look their best.
  • Swimming Pools. Most clubhouse communities pair their fitness centers with swimming pool complexes that often include a large lap pool, smaller pools for kids and a sun deck for socializing by the water or enjoying an afternoon meal.
  • Activity Clubs and Meetings. The best communities design their central clubhouses with plenty of meeting space for their sociable residents. Depending on the size of the community, there may be dozens of activity clubs for everything from knitting to hiking. Classrooms for lifelong-learning programs, game rooms, movie theaters and meeting areas for community-service organizations can be included in flexible spaces where neighbors gather in comfort to enjoy their favorite interests and activities.
  • Multiple Clubhouses. Many premier master planned communities these days offer a main full-service clubhouse, plus smaller clubhouse centers that are conveniently located throughout the development. This is nearly always the case with 55+ and active-adult neighborhoods within a master planned community, giving residents their own private clubhouses with meeting spaces, pools and exercise rooms.
