PGA Village

PGA Village sits in St. Lucie West, just west of I-95, which puts it close to shopping, dining, medical facilities, and Clover Park (the New York Mets' spring training stadium). It's a convenient location for both commuters and snowbirds — roughly 45 minutes to Palm Beach International Airport. If you're weighing it against other parts of the city, take a look at our Port St. Lucie real estate guide for how it compares to nearby areas like Tradition and St. Lucie West.

Yes. PGA Village is a manned, gated community with three entrances staffed 24/7. Within the larger community, several individual sub-neighborhoods — like Castle Pines and Reserve Creek — have their own additional gating, so security tends to layer depending on where exactly you buy.

Not at all. Golf memberships at the PGA Golf Club's three championship courses and The Legacy Golf & Tennis Club are optional, not mandatory. Plenty of residents live in PGA Village for the lifestyle, the amenities at The Island Club, and the location, without ever joining a golf membership. That said, if golf is a priority for you, it's hard to beat the access — you can find homes within walking distance of the courses.

PGA Village is large and varied — more than 2,500 properties spread across roughly 34 sub-divisions. You'll find condos, villas, townhomes, single-family homes, and larger private estate homes, so there's a real range of price points and lifestyles within the same gated community. For move-in-ready and new-construction options in the newer section of the community, see PGA Village Verano. You can also browse current listings directly on our Port St. Lucie home search.

Yes, and they typically cover more than a basic HOA. Depending on the sub-neighborhood, fees generally include manned gate security, lawn care, cable and internet, and full access to The Island Club's amenities — pool, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, and more. Some condo and villa associations also roll in water, sewer, exterior insurance, and roof maintenance, which can make budgeting simpler even though the monthly fee looks higher than a typical single-family HOA. Exact fees vary by sub-division, so it's worth checking the specific community — for example, HOA fees in PGA Village Verano currently run in a different range than the older sections of PGA Village.

PGA Village is built around three championship courses operated by PGA Golf Club, plus the PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance and a short course for practice. Inside the gates, The Legacy Golf & Tennis Club adds two additional Tom Fazio-designed courses. That's five courses total either within or directly connected to the community — a big part of why it's one of the most established golf addresses in Port St. Lucie.

No, PGA Village itself is an all-ages community that welcomes both year-round residents and seasonal snowbirds. However, if you're specifically looking for age-restricted living, Cresswind at Verano is a 55+ neighborhood within the newer PGA Village Verano section, with its own dedicated pool and amenities separate from the main community.

Day to day, it feels like an established, well-maintained golf community rather than a construction zone — most of PGA Village was built out years ago, so the landscaping is mature and the amenities are already running at full capacity. The Island Club is the social hub, with a resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, a ballroom, and regular clubs and activities. Streets are walkable and bike-friendly, with a lot of green space and preserve views. Because it sits in St. Lucie West, you're minutes from shopping, restaurants, and medical care, without feeling like you're in the middle of the city. If you want that same established, resort feel but with newer construction, PGA Village Verano is worth comparing side by side — you can see both in our full Port St. Lucie community guide.
