What The Great Outdoors - RV and Golf Resort does

The Great Outdoors - RV and Golf Resort is a master-planned gated residential and recreational community located in Titusville, Florida, governed by The Great Outdoors Community Services Association (CSA), a Florida not-for-profit corporation organized under Florida Statute 617. The community encompasses 19 condominiums (18 residential, 1 commercial), 2 subordinate homeowners associations (Addison Preserve and Fairways), and RV sites, with property owners as mandatory CSA members paying quarterly assessments to fund shared services. Core shared infrastructure and revenue-generating assets include an 18-hole, par 72 public golf course (recently renovated in 2024 for $10+ million, with a USGA rating of 71.5 and slope of 136, hosting up to 30,000 rounds annually), the Blue Heron Restaurant & Cafe, the Manor and Pavilion event venues, fitness and recreation facilities (2 pools, 4 tennis courts, 2 pickleball courts, bocce, shuffleboard, cornhole, dog park), 4 nature trails, a mail center, propane sales, and a wastewater treatment plant. Operations are run by a 13-person staff across CSA administration, golf, recreation, restaurant, maintenance, gate security, and accounting functions, supported by technology integrations including AlertMedia for emergency mass notification, a Comwebportal payment platform, a Visitor Management System, and separate websites for the golf course and restaurant. The organization is funded primarily through property owner assessments with supplementary revenue from public golf green fees and cart rentals, restaurant and catering, event rentals, propane sales, and mail/post office box services; the CSA has earned a Firewise designation from the National Fire Protection Association and has been recognized as Best Golf Course in 2022 and 2025.

Direct peers

• On Top of the World Communities: Large 55+ active-adult community in Ocala, Florida with private golf courses, recreation centers, and HOA governance. Comparable as a Florida master-planned retirement community with golf-centric amenities and member assessments.
• Solivita by Avatar Properties: Award-winning 55+ community in Kissimmee/Poinciana, FL featuring multiple golf courses, restaurants, fitness, pools, and HOA-managed amenities. Closely comparable Florida retirement community with similar amenity mix and member-funding model.
• Sun Outdoors Resorts: Operates a large portfolio of RV resorts and campgrounds across the U.S., including several Florida properties. Comparable as a destination RV resort operator serving retiree/RV travelers with on-site amenities, though organized as a for-profit hospitality business rather than an HOA.
• Thousand Trails: A membership-based network of RV resorts and campgrounds in desirable retirement and travel destinations including Florida. Directly comparable operating model (gated RV resort community with member assessments and amenity bundles) but at a regional/multi-property scale.

Broad incumbents

• Wycliffe Golf & Country Club: Private equity-owned Florida country club community in Wellington/Boynton with golf, dining, fitness, and HOA-style governance. Comparable as a Florida golf-centric residential community with master-association structure.
• FirstService Residential: Large North American HOA and condominium management company that administers Florida community associations. Comparable as a CSA-equivalent professional management organization rather than as a competing amenity operator.
• The Villages: The largest 55+ retirement community in the U.S., located in central Florida, with extensive golf, dining, recreation, and HOA-style community districts. Comparable at scale as a Florida retiree amenity community but far larger and commercially operated.

Regional players

• Roca Point RV Resort: A neighboring Titusville-area 55+ RV and golf community (Rocalines/Rocky Point Village) operating a similar concept of RV sites paired with public golf. Highly relevant as an immediate local comparable with overlapping customer geography.
• Encore RV Resorts: Florida-focused RV resort brand offering amenity-rich destinations for retirees and long-term RVers. Comparable as a Florida RV resort operator with similar guest demographic and amenity expectations.

Emerging players

• Associa: Major HOA and condominium association management company with deep Florida presence. Comparable as a competing CSA-style management provider, though Associa runs associations as a service whereas TGO is self-governing.
