Luxury homes to replace Raintree Golf Course

Pembroke Pines city officials announced last week that the 123-acre Raintree Golf Course will be replaced by a gated community of 103 homes on half-acre lots, each selling for at least $1 million. The city had wanted the land for a school and a park or open space but was unable to pay the $40 million dollar price the owner of the golf course had set.

The 10-acre site on the corner of the property currently occupied by the clubhouse will be replaced with 100,000 square feet of retail space. Additionally, as part of the entire site plan, the developer will donate a 23-acre landscaped park to the city.
