Every other luxury project in West Palm Beach right now is a high-rise on the water. The Grove is the only one that is not, and for a specific kind of buyer, that is exactly the point.
Key Takeaways
- The Grove is a gated community of 51 estates and 22 villas on Lake Mangonia with a private Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course.
- The Belgrove Resort and Spa (Marriott Autograph Collection) is fully operational, with estates completing through 2026 and into 2027.
- Prices start at $3.1 million, with estate HOA dues around $395 per month and golf club initiation fees reported at $300,000 to $350,000.
The Grove is a private enclave of 51 luxury estates tucked inside the Belgrove Resort and Spa, a Marriott Autograph Collection property on the shores of Lake Mangonia, about five minutes from downtown West Palm Beach. The resort itself has been fully operational since December 2024. The 22 villas are nearing completion for 2026 move-ins. The 51 estates are under active construction and expected to continue through 2026 and into 2027. Prices start at $3.1 million.
What makes The Grove different?
The Grove is not a high-rise condo. It is a low-density gated community of 51 estates and 22 villas on a lake, built around a private Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course called Dutchman's Pipe Golf Club. That combination does not exist anywhere else in West Palm Beach.
Every owner gets access to the Belgrove Resort's full infrastructure: three pools, a full-service spa, Society 48 and Deep End restaurants, and a racquet club with tennis, pickleball, and padel. The hotel and golf course are already open and operational.
The Marriott Autograph Collection branding matters here. It brings consistent service standards and brand recognition that traditionally support resale value, something that independent luxury communities cannot replicate. We covered this project when it was first announced.
As Larry Mastropieri noted on the Discover South Florida Podcast: "Because of that, I would expect this product to move pretty quickly. There's strong demand for this type of housing, especially when it's new construction in a location like this. It checks a lot of boxes that buyers are actively looking for right now."
What are the home options and pricing?
Seven home models are available. The Mahogany plan offers approximately 5,094 square feet of air-conditioned space starting around $3.58 million. The larger Sabal plan offers approximately 6,400 square feet starting from $4.37 million. Estate HOA dues run approximately $395 per month.
Golf club membership: Membership in the Dutchman's Pipe Golf Club carries a reported initiation fee of $300,000 to $350,000. That is a significant additional cost buyers need to factor into their total investment.
Location trade-offs: The location on Lake Mangonia sits west of the Intracoastal, so there are no water views of Palm Beach Island or the Atlantic. The tradeoff is a quieter, greener setting with lake views and immediate access to the golf course. Five minutes to the Nora District, eight minutes to the Brightline station.

What is the construction timeline?
The honest reality for buyers considering now: the hotel and golf course are done, but purchasing an estate today means living adjacent to an active construction zone for the next 12 to 18 months while the remaining estates are completed.
Current status (April 2026):
Belgrove Resort and Spa: Fully operational since December 18, 2024
22 Villas: Nearing completion, expected 2026 move-ins
51 Estates: Active construction, Mahogany and Sabal models in vertical construction phase. Full build-out projected through 2026 and into 2027.
How does The Grove compare to other West Palm Beach projects?
Compared to Olara's 275 units on the Intracoastal or South Flagler House's towers overlooking Palm Beach Island, The Grove offers something entirely different: seclusion, low density, and a private club lifestyle, five minutes from the same downtown core.
Olara: 275 units across two 26-story towers on the Intracoastal waterfront
South Flagler House: High-rise tower on Flagler Drive waterfront
The Grove: 51 estates, low-density gated community, lakefront setting, private Jack Nicklaus golf course
The honest comparison is this: every other luxury project in West Palm Beach right now is a high-rise on the water. The Grove is the only one that is not, and for a specific kind of buyer, that is exactly the point.
