Summary, model-written
The Falls Country Club golf course closed in 2025. Palm Beach County Commission approved a zoning change (commercial recreation to planned unit development) for redevelopment into housing. GL Homes, which purchased the site in 2014 for $4.56M, proposed an 800-unit housing project. The Commission considered this plan in February 2026.
Why. Status is proposed; zoning change approved but final development approval pending. County housing market shows strong growth (ZHVI up 26% over 5 years).
Where it stands. Golf course closed (2025), zoning change approved, housing plan under review by Commission (2026).
For a planner
- Zoning change approved for housing (PUD).
- County housing demand supported by 26% ZHVI growth (5-year).
- No construction underway yet; status remains proposed.
For a developer

- County approved zoning change for housing.
- No current construction status; Commission review ongoing (2026).
What we do not know yet
