The allure of golf courses in the Hamptons continues to captivate both avid golfers and luxury homebuyers. Discovery Land Company, the owner of Dune Deck, recently won a legal battle to introduce a new 130-unit, 18-hole golf community in East Quogue. This victory highlights the enduring appeal of the sport in this prestigious area, where numerous exclusive and high-priced golf clubs already thrive amidst grand estates.

Living on a golf course provides homeowners with the opportunity to enjoy expansive lawns akin to football fields.

Martha Gundersen of Douglas Elliman, along with colleague Paul Brennan, is currently listing a home at 91 Abrahams Landing Road, which overlooks the back nine of the South Fork Country Club in Amagansett. The property offers stunning views of the beautifully maintained golf course, providing the illusion of owning vast acres without the associated costs. This three-story, nine-bedroom mansion, built near the 11th hole by Vault Development Partners, features 12,395 square feet of living space. It boasts luxurious amenities such as a wellness center with a massage room and sauna, a media room, and a golf simulator. Interested buyers can secure this exceptional property for a price of $15.95 million.

For those seeking a more modest golf retreat, 18 Spring Pond Lane in Southampton presents an enticing option. Located in the private Cold Spring Fairways community, this home designed by Ric Stott Architecture is listed at $2 million. Surrounded by trees and in close proximity to Shinnecock Hills, the oldest incorporated golf club in the US, as well as the National and Sebonack golf links, this property offers a cabin-in-the-woods ambiance. With 2,500 square feet, three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a pool, it strikes a balance between nature and the vibrant golfing scene.

201 Sagaponack Road at the Bridgehampton golf course presents another exceptional golf course residence. This newly built eight-bedroom manor offers a lavish lifestyle and is priced at $21 million. Spanning 11,200 square feet, the shingle-style mansion showcases exquisite design and features a 56-foot-long pool, a multilevel screening room, and a gym. Its prime location allows residents to observe golfers in their plus fours while enjoying the poolside serenity.

All of these properties are listed with Martha Gundersen and Paul Brennan of Douglas Elliman, who can assist potential buyers in navigating the exclusive world of Hamptons golf course living.

These luxury homes exemplify the unique combination of scenic views, exclusive amenities, and the timeless charm of golf course living in the Hamptons.
