Across Florida, more families are choosing country clubs not just for golfing or tennis, but for the lifestyle that comes with it.
What today’s families want looks a little different from what it did a few years ago. It’s not just about weekend tee times or summer camps. It’s about belonging to a place that’s convenient, kid-friendly, social, and able to adapt to the pace of real life.
Here are five of the most common reasons families are choosing Hamock Beach, and what they’re finding once they join.
1. Family-Friendly Amenities That Actually Get Used
The days of clubs being built only for the adults are behind us. Families want options that include kids and grandkids without compromising comfort or convenience.
From the waterpark and lazy river to drop-off programs that make date nights possible, the Club at Hammock Beach is designed to be enjoyed by all ages. Members tell us the difference is how often they actually use what’s available. The amenities aren’t just for show; they fit into everyday life.
That’s part of what makes luxury club living in Florida appealing: having resort-style experiences within your own community, without needing to load up the car or plan an entire weekend.
2. Programs That Grow with Your Kids
For parents, having activities that evolve as their children grow is a major plus. That’s why junior golf, youth tennis, and seasonal kids’ programming are consistently among the top reasons families explore membership.
It’s not about overscheduling, it’s about options. Whether your child is new to the sport or already plays, Hammock Beach offers a structure that encourages growth, confidence, and consistency. For the young golf enthusiast, that might mean enrolling in our Junior Golf Camps, participating in PGA Junior League, or building skills through private lessons tailored to their goals.
More and more families are seeking out golf and racquet clubs in Florida that provide age-appropriate instruction and a fun, safe place to learn.
3. Community, Connection & Social Life for All Ages
Ask any Member what surprised them most after joining, and many will say: the people.
Country clubs today are serving a different purpose than they used to. For many families, Hammock Beach has become their “third place,” a go-to location outside of home and work where they can socialize with others, host friends, or simply relax and recharge.
Whether it’s a themed dinner, wine tasting, or a movie night by the pool, there’s always something happening, and the events calendar is designed to include everyone. Younger families with kids, empty nesters, and multigenerational households can all find their favorites here.
The sense of community is a huge draw, especially for those families who are relocating, retiring, or simply looking to build new friendships beyond their immediate circle.
4. A Welcoming Place for Family Get-Togethers and Quality Time
One of the biggest benefits of a country club lifestyle is having a place that feels special enough for a reunion, but casual enough for a last-minute family dinner.
Members often tell us how much they enjoy bringing their families here, whether it’s for holidays, summer vacations, or just a weekend to visit with the grandkids. And because everything is on the property, dining, golf, pools, beach, and spa, it takes the stress out of planning. There’s no need to coordinate a dozen different activities or bookings. It’s all right here.
That’s part of why coastal living in Florida has so much appeal. It’s not just about ocean views, it’s about ease, flexibility, and shared experience.
5. Everything in One Place: Golf, Dining, Beach, and Beyond
For families who want variety without sacrificing quality, the all-in-one nature of the Club at Hammock Beach is a major plus. You can start the day with a casual breakfast at Atlantic Grille, head out for 18 holes on the Ocean Course, drop the kids off for an activity, and still make it to a sunset dinner at Delfinos Italian Chophouse, without ever leaving the property. And because our team gets to know your preferences over time, services start to feel more personal, more effortless.
Members appreciate the ability to enjoy championship golf, tennis, pickleball, private beach access, pools, dining venues, a spa, fitness centers, wellness programs, and curated social events, all without juggling separate memberships or travel time. It’s the kind of convenience that makes it so much easier to spend time together, stay active, and enjoy the things you already love.
As more families explore gated communities with amenities in Florida, they’re realizing it’s not just about the square footage of your home; it’s how you live outside of it.
Why Families Are Rethinking the Club Experience in 2025
Trends show that younger families, multigenerational households, and relocating retirees are looking for the same thing: more quality time, more connection, and less hassle. That’s exactly what Hammock Beach is designed to deliver.
Whether it’s golf, kids’ activities, or simply having a place where everyone feels welcome, the Club continues to grow because it aligns with how families actually want to live. And as demand for private country clubs and social memberships in Florida continues to rise, we’re proud to offer an experience that’s equal parts fun, flexible, and full of heart.
