Homes For Sale in Marlwood Golf & Country Club

About Marlwood Golf & Country Club

Marlwood is Wasaga Beach's golf-centred adult lifestyle community — residents live around the Marlwood Golf & Country Club course. It combines the 55+ social model with fairway-front living.

It's a natural fit for golfing downsizers who want the beach town's amenities too. Every listing below sits inside the community boundary shown on the map.

The homes of Marlwood

Marlwood is a golf-course community in the east end of Wasaga Beach, and its housing reflects two distinct buyers: the condo buyer and the fairway-home buyer. The condos at 40 and 60 Mulligan Lane offer two-bedroom, two-bathroom units around 1,000-plus square feet with balconies, in-suite laundry, underground or surface parking and elevator buildings — low-maintenance living with forest and fairway outlooks, recently advertised from about $419,900 to $495,000. The detached homes are the community's signature: bungalows and two-storeys on the fairways, many with finished lower levels, triple-car garages, solariums and decks oriented to the golf views.

Recently advertised detached asking prices run from about $928,900 for a four-bedroom at 66 Islandview Crescent to $950,000 for a five-bedroom on the 7th fairway at 70 Fairway Crescent, backing onto Marl Lake. The community's own materials note that the neighbourhood was planned around the course — streets following the fairways, most homes with direct golf or naturalized-area views — and the listings sell exactly that: mature trees, manicured streets, and the quiet of the east end. This is established, high-end Wasaga Beach rather than entry-level cottage country.

How Marlwood works: tenure and fees

Marlwood is a conventional freehold community with a condominium component — not a land-lease community. Detached-home owners hold standard freehold title to home and lot; condo owners at the Mulligan Lane buildings own their units and pay monthly condo fees to the corporation. That distinction matters because it separates Marlwood from Wasaga Beach's Parkbridge land-lease communities: there is no site rent, no single-operator lease, and financing is the standard freehold or condo mortgage conversation.

For condo buyers, the usual diligence applies: the status certificate shows fee history, reserve-fund health, insurance and any special assessments, and the declaration carries the rules on leasing, pets and alterations. For detached buyers, confirm what is municipal and what is shared for the specific property. One legal note that surprises some buyers: short-term rentals are prohibited throughout the community under the Town of Wasaga Beach's zoning by-law 2014-23, which the town actively enforces — this is a full-time residential community by law, not a cottage-rental play. Confirm the exact provisions before buying as an investor.

Golf, amenities and daily life

The 18-hole Marlwood Golf Course is the reason the community exists: a 6,242-yard championship layout built in 1987, woven through the neighbourhood so that the streets follow the fairways and most homes face the course or naturalized areas. The community's own materials describe 2.8 kilometres of landscaped walkways, parkettes and green spaces threaded through the development, with Marl Lake on one side adding the water outlook. Golf is a walk-from-home proposition here in a way few Ontario communities can match — though the course is a separate operation, so confirm current access and membership arrangements directly.

Daily life is the quiet east end of Wasaga Beach: mature trees, professional landscaping, and a settled, high-end atmosphere, about five minutes from the Stonebridge town centre's shops and restaurants and from Main Street and Beach 1. The buyer mix is families and retirees together — not an age-gated village — which gives the community a different energy from the 55-plus enclaves: school buses and golf carts on the same streets. If you want golf-course living in a normal, multigenerational neighbourhood, Marlwood is built for exactly that.

Location and getting there

Marlwood sits in the east end of Wasaga Beach, set between the golf course and Marl Lake on the edge of town. The location is the community's quiet advantage: about five minutes by car to the Stonebridge town centre — Walmart, grocery, dining — and to Wasaga Beach's Main Street and Beach 1, but removed from the summer beach traffic that congests the western corridors. The redevelopment plans at Beach 1 promise further enhancement to the waterfront a short drive away.

The practical notes are standard Wasaga Beach: car country, no GO train to town, Highway 26 as the main artery, and roughly a two-hour drive to the GTA depending on traffic. Residents include commuters, remote workers and retirees — the community's housing mix supports all three. Winter is manageable small-town Ontario: the golf course goes quiet, the trails stay open, and the east-end location keeps you clear of the worst of the beach-season congestion.

Marlwood market snapshot

Marlwood is a steady, mid-to-upper resale market with regular turnover. Recently advertised asking prices run from about $419,900 for two-bedroom condos at 40 Mulligan Lane through the $400,000s and $500,000s for updated condo units, up to roughly $928,900 to $950,000 for detached fairway homes — the five-bedroom on the 7th fairway at 70 Fairway Crescent and the four-bedroom at 66 Islandview Crescent defining the top of the recent range. The market's logic is lot position first: fairway frontage, Marl Lake backing and premium views separate the top from the middle more than finishes do.

Sold data for the precise community boundary was not pulled in this session, so read asking prices as the current signal and have your agent pull true comparables — matched on fairway position, not just bedroom count — before offering. The condo segment deserves its own lens: fees, the corporation's health and the building's condition drive value as much as the unit. And because short-term rentals are prohibited by municipal by-law, the buyer pool is end-users and long-term holders — price accordingly, not on cottage-rental income fantasies.

Buying in Marlwood: what to check

For detached homes, the diligence is standard freehold: home inspection, title, and confirmation of what is municipal versus shared for services. For condos, add the status certificate — fee history, reserve fund, insurance, special assessments, and the declaration's rules on leasing, pets and alterations. Either way, walk the lot position honestly: fairway-fronting homes earn their premium in views and pay a small tax in early-morning maintenance noise, and lots near the course's busier holes see more foot traffic.

Then confirm the two things buyers most often assume. First, the golf arrangement: the course is a separate operation, so verify current public-play access, memberships and any resident preferred rates directly with the course. Second, the rental rules: short-term rentals are prohibited under town by-law 2014-23, and condo corporations have their own leasing provisions — confirm both before buying as an investor. Finally, drive the east-end approaches in winter and summer: the location's distance from beach-season congestion is a feature, but make sure the commute math works for your life.
