The Masters Tournament, golf’s first major of the year, returns to Augusta National Golf Club April 10-13. Oddsmakers poring over the elite field of 95, favor Scottie Scheffler, last year’s champion, with odds currently at +400 (4/1). His leading rivals include Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Collin Morikawa, and 2023 champion Jon Rahm.

They’ll compete over four dramatic days on the lush, verdant par-72 course designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie and Bobby Jones. The prize, of course, is one of sports’ most coveted: the illustrious Green Jacket—a three-button blazer in rye green (Pantone 342), for those keeping score at home.

In honor of the tournament, Luxury Defined presents a collection of homes either on or just a soft, lofted 7-iron off some of the world’s finest courses. Discerning golfers can choose from private estates on the fairways or resort villas in gated communities, offering a bespoke lifestyle with access to courses designed by legends of the game.

Fore! Forever, fore!

This Moorish-inspired villa comes with a premium address in a private, members’ only club with one of the most beautiful golf courses in Marbella’s Golf Valley: Club de Golf Aloha.

The 15,791-square-foot residence underwent an extensive restoration in March 2024, melding traditional Andalusian and traditional Arabian influences with cutting-edge contemporary design.

Vast windows and glass doors ensure abundant natural light throughout and seamlessly integrate the indoors with the outdoors. The living and dining room amplifies the sense of grandeur with its dramatic double-height coffered ceiling.

There are 12 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The guest rooms have access to the central courtyard, while the primary suite, with its sumptuous spa bathroom and walk-in closet, occupies the second floor.

Downstairs is dedicated to the wine cellar, cinema lounge, and entertainment suite. The resort experience continues with a sleek outdoor gym and a lagoon-style pool with a pergola and terraces for sunbathing and alfresco dining. But the jewel in the crown is an expansive, upper-level terrace with a front-row view of La Concha Mountain.

Sleeping Rock is a golf home with a difference. This majestic mountain retreat will appeal to outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes thanks to its premier location in the Talisker Club, a four-season, four club community in Park City, Utah.

The stunning, lodge-style property takes its name from the impressive towering Sleeping Rocks on view from the lofty interior spaces. The views extend to the Wasatch Range and the Jordanelle Reservoir.

The main level is carefully crafted for comfort and convenience. The island kitchen is perfect for cooking and entertaining. There’s an office, a study, and two separate bedroom wings containing the primary and junior suites.

The lower level is an entertainer’s dream, with a large living room, a wet bar, and games area. An expansive flex space adjacent to the theater room is adaptable for a home gym. This floor also includes two guest bedrooms, a bunkroom, and a patio for fireside gatherings and s’mores under the stars.

The Talisker Club’s world-class amenities include the signature Mark O’Meara-designed championship golf course and the Robert A.M. Stern-designed Talisker Club Park.

4. Atlanta By The Sea & Jolly Roger in Tucker’s Town, Bermuda

Opens in new window

This elegant estate sits on 2.23 hilltop acres overlooking the turquoise waters of Castle Harbour and the fairways of Bermuda’s legendary Mid Ocean Club. Built in 1926 and beautifully restored in 2010, the property comprises the main house, Atlanta By The Sea, and the charming guest cottage, Jolly Roger.

The main house blends European style with Bermuda charm. A major renovation by Bermudian architect David Benevides and technological updates since then have brought the four-bedroom home into the 21st century. Beyond the house is an outdoor swimming pool and the Jolly Roger, a four-bedroom cottage currently configured as two self-contained suites.

The grounds are graced with flowering plants, an immense poinciana tree, rock gardens, and landscaped lawns backing onto the 16th hole of the Mid Ocean Club course, ranked No. 33 on Golf Digest’s “Top 100 Golf Courses.” Set in the heart of Tucker’s Town, the property is minutes from a private dock and moorings, beaches, and restaurants.
