A Visionary 55+ Community Rooted in Design and Connection

Golf Simulator: A “Wildly Popular” Amenity Inspiring Active Living
Of all the community’s impressive amenities, one stands out for its innovation, popularity, and fun: the state-of-the-art golf simulator, described by ProBuilder as “wildly popular.” More than just a high-tech feature, this amenity has become a signature experience for residents, combining friendly competition, physical activity, and social connection all under one roof.
The Golf Simulator allows residents to play virtual rounds on world-famous courses, practice their swing in a comfortable, climate-controlled space, and even participate in organized community tournaments. It embodies the spirit of what makes active adult communities so special: spaces that promote health, happiness, and togetherness.
At Chesterfield, it’s not uncommon to find residents cheering one another on, sharing a few laughs, and enjoying a post-game toast in the Clubhouse. It’s an amenity that not only enhances daily life but also fosters lasting friendships, proof that play and purpose go hand in hand.

Residents enjoy access to a fitness center, yoga studio, and wine-tasting room, each thoughtfully designed to balance wellness and relaxation. Outdoors, the resort-style pool area includes sun shelves, shaded cabanas, fire pits, and an outdoor kitchen, ideal for community gatherings or peaceful afternoons. For recreation, homeowners can enjoy pickleball and bocce courts, a dog park, and a beautifully landscaped putting green, ideal for practicing short games in a scenic setting.
