Is Bear Lakes membership required?

Not at all — and that's honestly one of the best things about this property. You get unobstructed views of a Jack Nicklaus-designed championship course right from your patio, with zero membership obligation. Bear Lakes Country Club membership is available if you want it, but it is never required. You're essentially getting front-row seats to a private golf course without paying for the ticket.

Tell me about the roof.

Brand new in 2025 — and done right. This wasn't a patch job or a layer-over. Full tear-off: stripped all the way down to bare wood, new roof decking installed throughout, then standing-seam metal on top. Metal roofs in South Florida are the gold standard — they handle hurricane season better than shingles, last significantly longer, and tend to lower insurance premiums. That's a box most buyers have to negotiate around. Here, it's already checked.

Tell me about the hurricane impact windows and doors.

Every window in this home is Max Guard double-paned insulated hurricane impact-rated glass. All four sliding glass doors across the back are Max Guard impact-rated as well. This is a whole-house installation — not a partial upgrade. Double-paned insulated impact glass gives you three things at once: hurricane protection, serious noise reduction, and energy efficiency. The practical benefits are real: lower homeowner's insurance premiums, no shutters to install or store, and genuine peace of mind during storm season. And there's a less obvious benefit worth calling out — the combination of Max Guard impact glass and the golf course's natural buffer means you genuinely cannot hear I-95 from inside this home. That's not marketing copy. It's just quiet.

What's the generator situation?

There's a Ryobi 6500-watt generator included in the sale — 6,500 running watts, 8,125 starting watts. That's enough to run the AC, refrigerator, lights, and most of what matters during a power outage. In South Florida, a generator isn't a luxury, it's infrastructure. The fact that it's already there and included in the sale is a genuinely meaningful thing.

What's included in the HOA fee?

The $517/month HOA covers quite a bit. You're getting access to the community pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, racquetball, playgrounds, and scenic jogging trails. It also includes front yard and common space landscaping, so the neighborhood always looks sharp without any effort on your part. And it covers sewer, water, and trash — utilities that add up fast elsewhere. For a gated community with this level of amenity and a golf course out back, it's genuinely reasonable for West Palm Beach.

What appliances are included?

Everything stays. Refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher, wine refrigerator — all included in the sale. The Tesla Wall Connector EV charger in the garage is included too. Basically, you're moving in, not outfitting a house.

How close is the airport?

Palm Beach International Airport — PBI — is about 7–10 minutes from the front gate. It's one of the genuinely underrated perks of this location. No major traffic, no long drives, and PBI has expanded its routes significantly in recent years. If you travel for work or fly family in regularly, this matters more than most listings will tell you.

How close are restaurants, shopping, and outdoor activities?

You're really well positioned here. CityPlace and Clematis Street — dining, nightlife, live music — are about 10 minutes. Palm Beach Outlets are 5 minutes. Worth Avenue and the island of Palm Beach are around 20 minutes. But the outdoor stuff is what surprises most people. Blue Heron Bridge at Phil Foster Park in Riviera Beach is about 10 minutes away and is consistently rated one of the best shore dives and snorkel spots in the world — calm, shallow water with extraordinary marine life right off the bridge. Singer Island is about 12 minutes, with John D. MacArthur Beach State Park — one of the best-preserved barrier island ecosystems in Florida, with beach access, nature trails, and serious wildlife. You get the quiet of a gated golf course community without giving up access to anything.

Golf Course Views, No Club Fees | 2390 Saratoga Bay Drive, West Palm Beach

The Home That Has Everything — Including the View

You can't buy the golf course. But you can wake up to it every morning.

This 2,271 sq ft home in gated Saratoga Bay backs directly to the 5th hole of The Lakes Course at Bear Lakes Country Club — designed by Jack Nicklaus and Davis Love III. No rear neighbors. A low iron fence lines the back of the patio where the property meets the course. Beyond it: palm trees, tropical landscaping, and the 5th fairway.

Bear Lakes membership is optional, never required. You get the view for free. ?

Is Bear Lakes Country Club Membership Required?

No. Membership at Bear Lakes CC is optional and never required for Saratoga Bay residents. You get the golf course view as part of the property — no dues, no obligation, no initiation fee.
