Thinking About Living in Mirasol Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Mirasol Country Club and the surrounding Palm Beach Gardens golf market.
The Country Club at Mirasol sits on roughly 2,300 acres in Palm Beach Gardens that were previously part of a hunting plantation owned by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. British developer Taylor Woodrow took over the site in the late 1990s and built it around a partnership with two of golf's best-known architects -- Tom Fazio and Arthur Hills, each designing one of the club's two 18-hole courses. The club opened for play in 2002 and, as originally planned, transitioned from developer to full member ownership in 2010 (after a one-year delay tied to the 2008-09 financial crisis and a merger involving the original developer). Mirasol has been described by its original developer as among the most commercially successful communities it ever built.
For a golf-oriented buyer, Mirasol offers 36 holes from two nationally recognized design firms, a large and architecturally cohesive Mediterranean-style community of 23 sub-neighborhoods, and a heavily reinvested amenity base following a $40 million clubhouse, tennis and aquatics renovation. Membership is not optional: every homeowner is required to hold at least a social-level equity membership, with golf and sport tiers available for an additional cost.
Golf & Course
Mirasol's two courses were built as a matched pair by different architects: the Sunrise Course, designed by Tom Fazio, plays to a course rating of 76.2 and slope of 147; the Sunset Course, designed by Arthur Hills, rates 75.2 with a slope of 153 -- both par 72. The club hosted the PGA Tour's Honda Classic for four consecutive years, 2003 through 2006, before the tournament moved to nearby PGA National Resort in 2007, where it has been played since (now as the Cognizant Classic). That four-year PGA Tour history gives Mirasol a level of tournament pedigree relatively uncommon among private residential clubs of its era in the market.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership at Mirasol is mandatory for every homeowner, structured as an equity club with tiered options: a Social membership is the minimum required of all owners, with Golf and Sport-level memberships available above that for buyers who want fuller access. A 2019 fee schedule that continues to circulate on broker sites lists a Golf-level Recreational Facilities Maintenance Contribution (RFMC) of $140,000 (of which $100,000 is the refundable equity portion) plus $22,079 in annual Club Dues; members who took title on or after July 1, 2017 recover 80% of the equity portion at resale. A separate, more general 2026 buyer's guide suggests initiation costs across Palm Beach Gardens clubs including Mirasol now run 'over $300,000,' which may reflect an updated schedule not independently confirmed this session -- get current, tier-specific figures directly from the club before assuming either number.
Living in Mirasol Country Club
Mirasol is organized into 23 distinct, individually named villages (among them Andalusia, Bianca, Capri, Esperanza, Florenza, Magdalena, Mariposa, Monte Carlo, Olivera, Palacio, Paradisio, Playa Rienta, Porto Vecchio, Quantera, Riviera, San Remo, Siesta, Talavera, Terra Linda, Tranquilla, Via Verde, Villa Vasari and Vizcaya Estates), spanning roughly 2,300 acres with a consistent Mediterranean architectural theme. Housing spans villas, cottages and larger estate homes, and because HOA structures and price points are set at the village level rather than community-wide, two homes inside Mirasol can carry meaningfully different carrying costs depending on which village they sit in.
Lifestyle & Amenities
A $40 million renovation expanded the clubhouse by 50% to 78,000 square feet, adding the 80-seat fine-dining restaurant Solstice, the Upstairs Bar & Lounge, a larger ballroom and expanded banquet and card-room space. The project also built a new tennis center with 15 clay courts plus a center court, and overhauled The Esplanade sport and fitness center with a new spa, salon, barber shop and two additional pools as part of a family aquatics complex. The scope of the renovation -- clubhouse, tennis, spa and aquatics all rebuilt in a single multi-phase project -- is unusually comprehensive for a club of Mirasol's size.
Location & Surrounding Area
Mirasol sits in Palm Beach Gardens alongside BallenIsles Country Club, Old Palm Golf Club and PGA National Resort in the same broader golf corridor, with Lost Tree Village and Seminole Golf Club a short drive north. Its former host role for the Honda Classic (2003-2006) ties it directly into the market's PGA Tour history, since the event's next and current home, PGA National, sits nearby.
Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old fee a current one.
Golf membership initiation
Historical — as of 2019$140,000
A Mirasol Community Association fee schedule (dated 2019, still circulating on real-estate broker sites) lists a Golf-level Recreational Facilities Maintenance Contribution (RFMC) of $140,000, of which $100,000 is the equity portion; members who took title on or after July 1, 2017 receive an 80% refund of the equity portion at resale (members before that date receive 80% of the full RFMC). A separate 2026 Palm Beach County buyer's guide describes Mirasol initiation fees generally as 'over $300,000' without itemizing by tier -- this may reflect a newer, higher current schedule this session could not directly access (the club's own PDF hosts were unreachable). Confirm the current RFMC amount by membership tier directly with the club.
Annual dues
Historical — as of 2019$22,079
Same 2019 fee schedule lists Golf-level annual Club Dues of $22,079 plus applicable tax. Not confirmed against a more current schedule this session; a general 2026 buyer's guide cites a broader Palm Beach County range of roughly $15,000-$30,000/year for full golf dues without a Mirasol-specific figure.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Current Golf, Sport and Social membership fees and dues by tier directly with the club -- the most detailed figures found this session date to a 2019 fee schedule, while a general 2026 market guide cites a higher, non-itemized figure.
- Whether the mandatory Social-level membership requirement and its cost are consistent across all 23 villages, or vary by sub-neighborhood.
- Per-village HOA fees and approximate home price ranges, which vary considerably across Mirasol's 23 distinct villages and were not itemized this session.
- Current status/availability of Golf membership (whether it is open, waitlisted, or capped), which was not confirmed this session.
Notable
- Built on former MacArthur Foundation hunting-plantation land and developed by Taylor Woodrow, which has described Mirasol as one of its most commercially successful communities.
- Hosted the PGA Tour's Honda Classic for four consecutive years (2003-2006) before the tournament relocated to nearby PGA National Resort in 2007.
- Transitioned from developer to full member ownership in 2010, one year later than originally planned due to the 2008-09 financial crisis and a merger involving the original developer.
- The two 18-hole courses were designed by Tom Fazio (Sunrise) and Arthur Hills (Sunset) as a deliberately paired two-architect project.
