Whether you’re an avid golfer looking to improve your handicap or simply love the look of an expansive, well-manicured green, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite homes situated on golf courses around the world. From a sophisticated, Old Hollywood-style estate on the prestigious Bel Air Country Club course to an historic residence overlooking the 18th green of Scotland’s infamous Old Course at St. Andrews, these six unique residences are above par.
One of the few properties that sits on the exclusive Bel Air Country Club golf course, this prestigious estate, represented by Kristin Regan, David Parnes, James Harris, and Mauricio Umansky, has been stunningly restored to its former Old Hollywood splendor with a stylish, contemporary feel. Perched above the 16th hole, the home features glamorous, grand-scale living spaces, with floor-to-ceiling pocket doors that open to expansive terraces within earshot of the 16th hole green. Expansive grounds include lighted trees, fire pits, lounge areas, a putting green and an exceptional swimming pool.
PARADISO PERDUTO | SAN JOSE DEL CABO
This nine-bedroom estate, situated atop a hill in the Fundadores Neighborhood of Puerto Los Cabos, is one of the most esteemed residences in the area.

Among the home’s most unique offerings—which include a high-end gym, paddle tennis court and expansive, infinity-edge pool and spa—is a six tee, 18-hole chipping course, dubbed “the toughest half-acre in golf.” Featuring a stacked sand trap, meandering water hazard, and large green with six pin locations, it’s been known to challenge even the most experienced golfers—especially after a few too many margaritas on the poolside terrace.
