How Lost Tree Village compares

Ocean on one side, Intracoastal on the other, with a private beach club, in a community that has spent sixty years staying out of the spotlight. The one thing buyers need to understand before they start: the club does not come with the house. Membership is by invitation and separate from ownership, so if the club is the goal, that conversation happens before the house search rather than after.

Common questions about Lost Tree Village

Does buying a home in Lost Tree get you into the club?
No. This is the clearest exception in the area. Golf club membership is by invitation and is separate from owning a home. If the club matters to you, have that conversation before you start the house search.

Who designed the golf course?
Mark Mahannah designed the original course, which opened in 1962. Jack Nicklaus redesigned it in 2002.

Does Lost Tree Village have a private beach?
Yes, the community has its own oceanfront beach club, and the property runs from the Atlantic to the Intracoastal.

Is Jack Nicklaus connected to Lost Tree?
Two separate things. He redesigned the golf course in 2002, and he and Barbara have been Lost Tree residents for decades. Nicklaus Companies is headquartered a few minutes away on US-1.
