Drive it Home. This is No Ordinary Private Club.

Destination Clubs: A million dollars isn't what it used to be, especially when it comes to real estate. These days, a vacation home in a respectable golf community runs close to that amount, and after throwing down the typical six-figure down payment, maintenance costs, taxes and security concerns still must be addressed. Second-home ownership- what a pain.

While the high net worth individual is confronted everyday with a myriad of luxury travel opportunities, the newest trend within the second home industry is purchasing ownership in a destination club or fractional residence. A relatively new concept, destination clubs & fractional residences have created a more appealing second-home alternative for devout golfers, globetrotters and worldly aficionados who don't want to be pigeonholed into a single country club membership or single vacation home situation.

Not surprisingly, one of the most popular hobbies enjoyed by this group of jet-setters is golfing and while almost all destination clubs offer stunning, multi-million dollar residences, they often lack the emotional tipping point desired by these avid golfers - the ultimate player's experience. The Markers therefore took it upon themselves to indulge this breed of golf purists, offering the most desirable of accommodations in the world's most glorious golf settings.

Destination club memberships and fractional residences ownership is the way to go: travel anywhere, at anytime, in luxury and style and without the obligations of homeownership. And at a fraction of the cost. Unlike time shares, these destination clubs and fractional opportunities offer unparalleled hospitality and concierge services, cuisine, world-class golf experiences and access anytime you wish. With private destination clubs like The Markers, you're free to wander the world, discover its unique secrets and live in luxury in the most desirable golf locations on the planet without any of the hassle ownership entails.

Outside of offering lavish retreats with unparalleled services, clubs such as The Markers offer members the most high-tech, latest equipment from Ping, Taylor-made, Callaway, Titleist and more with four sets of demo clubs in each residence. The lavish homes also offer unique golf components. For example, the Scottsdale Residence at Troon North is near the Ping factory where members experience a custom club fitting from the same team that fits the Tour Professionals! Additionally, Markers members enjoy cart-fee only access to over 200 private country clubs in 38 states. Not only that, David Marr III, Golf Channel announcer, hosted seven Markers members at his home club in Long Island - clearly, not an experience you'll find just anywhere.
