Golf 9 holes Not eighteen. Worth knowing before you pay a golf premium

Sports & club facilities 30,000 sq.m Soccer, tennis, aquatics, archery, skate and beach sports

Villas planned 300+ Low-density, country club membership attached

Comparable discount Closed The gap that makes apartments here interesting does not exist on these plots

The case, and the caveats

Careful

The comparable discount has already closed

Villa pricing here already matches Palm villas. The gap that makes apartments on this archipelago interesting does not exist on the villa plots. Buy it because you want to live on a golf course, not because you expect it to outperform.

Careful

Nine holes, not eighteen

The 18-hole course is on Island C. Worth knowing before you pay a golf premium on the wrong island.
