August is National Golf Month — but here in the Sunshine State, it might as well be a year-long holiday. Such is Florida’s ideal combination of balmy weather, lush landscape, and countless courses that many people move here just for the golf scene (and those who don’t already play, of course, pick out a set of golf clubs soon after arrival).

For those who love the golf lifestyle, there are plenty of ways to craft a custom oasis that reflects that passion — and it starts with finding new construction in New Smyrna Beach, FL, where you can truly make your mark! Just read on to see a few of our favorite ideas for crafting a home you’ll love — and all golfers will envy.

Get Closer To World-Class Golf Courses

Wherever you are in Florida, you’re never too far from some great golf — in fact, Golf Magazine ranked the Sunshine State the No. 1 state in terms of “golfiness,” a fun term that rates states based on factors like the sport’s legacy and access to courses.

With that being said, some Florida locales offer even more golf for your buck than others — and Volusia County is one of them! Our slice of the Atlantic coast is home to several of the state’s best public golf courses, as ranked by Golfweek. Plus, we’re centrally located — meander a short distance up or down the coast for even more opportunities. By building your home in a community like Turnbull Crossings, you can embrace the golf lifestyle from the comfort and convenience of home.

Add Practical Touches

If you golf a lot (and you will, living here!), you’ll want to outfit your custom home with practical touches that make it even easier to enjoy your favorite sport. These might include:

• Built-in shelving for gear and golf polos — because you can never have enough.
• Spacious utility rooms and/or mudrooms that can give you an easy place to gear up — or settle in, once you’ve returned home! Optional built-in benches are available in every Hammock Home model, making it even easier to slip in and out of your golf cleats.
• Free-standing tubs that help you unwind and recuperate after a hot day on the green. Soaking tubs are a popular tool for many athletes — and Tiger Woods recommends an ice bath, specifically, according to Fortunately, these stylish and functional free- standing tubs come standard in Hammock Homes owner’s suites!

Practice Under Your Lanai

Though beautiful courses abound in Volusia County and the surrounding area, sometimes you don’t even want to leave your house to get a practice session in. Fortunately, you don’t need to! Add a backyard practice area, or perhaps a putting green under your lanai for cool comfort. These features can be purchased from specialty companies, or even DIY’d! Either way, you’ll be glad to know that your home has the outdoor space needed to suit your at-home practice (and fun!) needs.

Create A Golfer’s Retreat

Maybe you want to relax after a long day of golfing — or perhaps you want to gather with friends to watch the latest tournament. Either way, your New Smyrna Beach custom home can double as a serious golfer’s retreat!

Every Hammock Home is designed with a study — the perfect, cozy place for you to hang up your golf memorabilia or a large TV for watching the pros! Our Lagoon model also has a flex and game room, giving you even more space to enjoy your golf lifestyle in total comfort. Or add a standalone casita that serves as your go-to retreat for golf tournaments — and, while you’re at it, big-ticket sport events all year long.

Of course, these ideas are just the beginning! Let our team bring your one-of-a-kind vision to life, in a community you’ll be proud to call “home” — during National Golf Month and all year long. Contact Hammock Home Builders today to get started!
