If you sell your house in the Villages, you might be able to pay the entrance fees for most of the country clubs between Palm Beach and Boca.
Funny, 2 years ago, you could buy 3-5K sq foot homes for well under $100/sq ft in those "Country Club Communities" in West Boca and West Palm...

The $70-$100K initiation fees, and the $50-$75K annual fees, and only 1-2 golf courses were enough for me to look elsewhere...

With all of the recent activity, I'd think they've rebounded, but I'm happy here...
