A Golfer’s Paradise Awaits You
T

variety of challenges. A third course is
currently closed and may reopen in the
future. While golf membership is not
included in the purchase of a condominium,
multiple levels of golf memberships are
available from one week to one month to
year-round.
South Course: Designed by renowned
golf course architect Ron Garl and PGA Tour player Andy Bean, the 18-hole South Course opened
in 1983. The course features flat terrain with wide fairways. Creative undulations and moundings
built into the course’s greens test even the best of putting skills. Numerous camouflaged sand
bunkers and water hazards add to the challenge.
East Course: The East Course is shorter, straighter and narrower than the South Course. The
course was designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay and opened in 1978 with major refurbishing
taking place over the years. The challenge starts early on this course – it opens with its 535-yard,
par 5 signature hole.
West Course: Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., the West Course originally opened in
1971 and is currently closed. The renowned course is best known as the site for several PGA
tournaments including the finals for the PGA and Senior PGA Tour’s qualifying schools. Resort
management has assured Realty International Associates it is actively pursuing a restoration plan
to re-open this course in the near future.

Fractional Ownership:
HOMEOWNER BENEFITS WITHOUT THE HASSLES
R
ealty International Associates
makes owning a Grenelefe Golf &
Tennis Resort condominium worry
free. The concept of fractional ownership
was created to accommodate the many
people who desire a vacation home and
the value and equity of property ownership,
but don’t want the hassle and expense of
owning a place they only use a few weeks
at a time.
Because a fractional Owner holds a deeded
ownership interest in the property, that
Owner can sell or rent the property, or even
pass it on to the next generation. Owners receive the value of home ownership
compared to the expense of short-term
vacation accommodations, and the
benefit of home equity if the property
value increases.
Realty International Associates program ensures that Owners have access to their condominium for the
specific time period purchased. If the Owner is unable to use the condominium during the 28 night purchased vacation period, they have the option to rent it out during that time. A recommended rental price
can be provided.
To maintain the investment and keep the condominium in pristine condition, annual maintenance costs
are projected for each of the condominium unit options. The annual maintenance fee includes payment
for utilities, contents insurance, water, condo fees, real estate taxes, reserve account, maintenance, maid/
cleaning, accounting and management fees.
