The Diplomat Golf Resort & Spa is currently closed for redevelopment by SLS Resorts and is due to open in 2022 with a Greg Norman 18 hole Championship Golf Course. The opening of the new Resort and Golf Course has been delayed through 2021 and, at the time of writing, details are relatively scarce. However, we understand the Course will feature four par-5 holes as well as a 570-yard hole which will be one of the longest holes in South Florida. A new driving range, short game area, and practice putting green will also be included.
Only 5 acres will be used for the luxurious SLS Residences' 26-storey development with 250 luxurious golf homes, which will also include 290 hotel rooms, including 50 condo/hotel units on the top floor with the remaining 122 acres to be home for the new golf course. The owners of these residences may decide to live in them, rent them out, or a mixture of both, creating a fantastic opportunity to both buy and rent out a brand new golf house. The Golf Club will be rebranded as The Shark Club by SLS Hotels and look forward to its reveal in the Summer of 2022.
The old golf course at The Diplomat sprawled over 120 acres of impressive and lush terrain including literally thousands of coconut and Royal palms. Welcome shade was available throughout the course from huge Banyan Trees providing an impressive vista from above as well as at ground level. Although The Diplomat was a public course, it had the look and feel of a private club. It was also a staple of the South Florida community since opening in 1957 and frequented by the 'rat pack' including Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr who both performed as well as dined and stayed at The Diplomat Golf Resort.
The $220 million redevelopments of The Diplomat Golf Resort & Spa is set to open in 2022 and will also include a 10-court tennis complex and a 48-slip Marina, a mixology lounge plus a Katsuya restaurant, and bar. Looking at the renderings from the Developer, the new SLS Residence complex will be an enviable redevelopment of the prior Diplomat Golf Resort & Spa site.
