A bold new chapter is on the horizon for Lauderhill’s historic Inverrary neighborhood, as nationally recognized developer Concord Wilshire prepares to transform the long-shuttered Inverrary Country Club into a modern, master-planned residential and recreational hub.
Once a prestigious golf destination that hosted the Jackie Gleason Inverrary Classic and more than a dozen PGA and LPGA tournaments, the 36-hole course—originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.—has been closed since 2020. Now, Concord Wilshire, in partnership with Greg Norman Golf Course Design and Pulte Homes, aims to breathe new life into the site with a project known as “The New Inverrary.”
A golf renaissance, led by Greg Norman
At the heart of the redevelopment is the construction of a Greg Norman Signature 18-hole Championship Golf Course, spanning 162 acres. Norman, a two-time Open Champion and globally recognized course designer, is known for integrating natural landscapes and environmentally conscious design principles.
Plans also include a 12-acre practice course, a state-of-the-art teaching academy, and a redesigned clubhouse featuring a restaurant, bar and lounge, pro shop, locker rooms, and even a Jackie Gleason museum—paying homage to the area’s storied past.
According to project notes, all of the golf-related facilities will be deeded to the Inverrary community, giving residents full ownership with no additional assessments or fees.
A community-first residential vision
The proposal includes the construction of 1,188 residential units, a mix of estate homes, townhomes, and condominiums. Pulte Homes, one of the country’s top homebuilders, will lead the residential development. The new homes will be built around the reimagined golf course and interwoven with lakes, parks, dog parks, fitness trails, and landscaped gardens—all designed to reconnect Inverrary’s original sense of community.
Residents can expect about four miles of multipurpose trails, picnic areas, rest stations, and gazebos, all designed to encourage walkability and outdoor recreation. The design aims to reflect the spirit of the original 1970s planned community, while addressing long-standing challenges such as declining property values and aging infrastructure.
Community-led, developer-funded
Key to the proposal is that it won’t cost current homeowners anything. Under “Option 3″—the preferred development route—Concord Wilshire will fully fund and construct the golf course, clubhouse, and all associated community amenities, and then gift them to the Master HOA. In return, the developer will be permitted to build up to 1,188 homes in designated areas, subject to community approval.
An 18-member Inverrary Golf Progression Committee, made up of local residents and HOA leaders, has been working closely with Concord Wilshire to ensure the project aligns with neighborhood values and long-term interests. To move forward, the plan requires the approval of at least 66.67% of Inverrary homeowners to modify existing restrictive covenants.
Beyond real estate, the project represents an opportunity to restore Inverrary’s reputation as a desirable, vibrant community. Concord Wilshire—whose past projects include Hillcrest in Hollywood and the former Diplomat Golf Course in Hallandale Beach—emphasizes collaboration with communities to solve long-standing issues.
Community leaders and local homeowners’ associations are optimistic that the New Inverrary will do more than revamp a historic golf course — it could significantly boost property values. According to proponents, homes in the area could see values rise by as much as 50%, thanks to a combination of premium new amenities and smart development strategies, which include a Greg Norman-designed golf course, new homes priced between $400,000 and $900,000, a branded clubhouse restaurant, Motorola-backed security systems, and community ownership of the golf course itself. Balanced HOA reserves and a coordinated PR campaign are also expected to play a role in increasing neighborhood appeal.
If approved, The New Inverrary promises to blend the prestige of its past with a forward-looking vision that meets the needs of today’s families, golfers, and homeowners.
CWC’s Lauderhill venture comes on the heels of another major acquisition: the Grand Lucayan Resort and Reef Golf Course in Grand Bahama. That $827 million redevelopment — one of the largest private tourism investments in the Bahamas — signals a broader push by the firm to redevelop historic resort properties across the region.
