Royal Oak Golf & Country Club East, the honest version.
Two hundred thirty-nine homes named for a golf course that has not operated since 2012, and a 511-unit redevelopment proposal for that old fairway working through Titusville's city approval process as I write this. The name says country club. The fenced, overgrown course next door does not.
The country club closed in 2012.
Royal Oak Golf & Country Club East takes its name from a course that no longer operates. Local reporting places the closure around 2012, and the fairways have sat overgrown behind a fence since, with the clubhouse demolished. The 150-acre property went through foreclosure and changed hands more than once, and it is now controlled by an entity connected to The Kolter Group, which is pursuing residential redevelopment rather than a reopening. A proposal locally called Gemini Lakes, roughly 511 units, is moving through Titusville's planning and city council process in 2026. None of that shows up in a generic listing description. If you are looking at a house here expecting an active club and fairway views, confirm what is actually happening on that acreage before you write an offer, not after.

I keep the full Brevard property roll on hand, every parcel, not a listing-site sample. This is all of Royal Oak East as the county appraiser sees it, across 3 recorded plats.

Three Royal Oak East realities to price in.
A 511-unit proposal for the old course is moving through city hall right now
This is the single biggest thing that will affect this neighborhood in the next few years, and it is not something a listing photo or a generic description will tell you. A developer connected to The Kolter Group has a residential redevelopment proposal for the closed course's acreage in Titusville's approval pipeline, with hearings scheduled through 2026. Whatever gets built there, if anything, will change traffic, views and the character of streets that back up to the old fairways. Check the current status with the City of Titusville's planning department before you buy on either side of that decision.
"Golf and Country Club" in the name is a legacy, not a current amenity
There is no operating clubhouse, no pro shop, and no course to play here today. Any pricing premium implied by the name should be treated with real skepticism until the redevelopment either restores some version of open space and amenity or replaces it with rooftops. Compare this community's recent sale prices against similarly aged, similarly sized Titusville neighborhoods without a golf-course name attached, rather than assuming the name itself is still worth something.
A late-1960s median means the roof is the first thing to check
Median year built is 1967. In Florida in 2026, a four-point inspection can decide whether a policy gets written at all on a house this age, and insurers price roof age above almost everything else. Get the roof age and the wind mitigation report before you get attached to a specific house, and budget insurance shopping as part of your timeline, not an afterthought after closing.
Three things I could not source.
Three things I would rather show you the gap on than fill with something pulled from an out-of-date listing description.
The current HOA dues
I found no community development district for Royal Oak and no dues figure I trust from a primary source. Aggregator sites disagree with each other widely enough that I am not going to repeat any of their numbers. Get the current fee from the seller's HOA disclosure or the closing documents, and ask specifically whether it changed after the golf club stopped operating.
The current status of the Gemini Lakes redevelopment
This is a moving target as I write this, with hearings scheduled into 2026. Check directly with the City of Titusville's planning and zoning department for the current status before you assume either that it has been approved or that it has stalled out.
Your school zoning and flood zone
Both are assigned by address, not by subdivision, and both get redrawn. Verify the exact address with Brevard Public Schools, and pull the flood zone from FEMA's Map Service Center. My flood zone guide walks through what it means for your insurance bill.
If it is the era you are shopping.
If a late-1960s Titusville home is the actual category you are comparing, without the redevelopment question attached, Plantation Oaks of Brevard and Verona Village B cover other established sections of the city. The Titusville guide covers the wider market.
Questions people actually ask.
Is the golf course at Royal Oak still open?
No. Local reporting puts the closure at around 2012, and the course has sat vacant since, fairways overgrown and the clubhouse demolished. The property went through foreclosure and changed hands more than once, most recently to an entity connected to The Kolter Group, which is now pursuing a residential redevelopment of the old course rather than reopening it. If a listing or an old web page describes this as an active golf course community, it is out of date.
What is being built on the old Royal Oak golf course?
A proposed 511-unit residential development, locally referred to as Gemini Lakes, on the former course acreage. As of this writing it is moving through Titusville's approval process, with planning and zoning review in January 2026 and a city council transmittal hearing in February 2026, ahead of expected adoption hearings in spring 2026. This is a live, moving process. Confirm the current status with the city before you assume either that it is approved or that it has stalled.
Does Royal Oak Golf & Country Club East have an HOA, and what does it cost?
I could not verify a fee figure from a primary source. I found no community development district registered for Royal Oak in the state's own special district records, and aggregator sites quote a wide, inconsistent range that I am not willing to repeat as fact. Since the golf club itself no longer operates, I also found no evidence of a mandatory club membership fee tied to living here. Get the actual figure from the seller's HOA disclosure or the closing documents.
Is Royal Oak Golf & Country Club East the same as other Royal Oak sections?
East is one of several recorded sections of the broader Royal Oak development, alongside others such as Section 7 and additional numbered units. I could not confirm a substantive difference between them beyond the plat and unit numbering, so treat East as one piece of a larger, older Titusville development rather than a fully separate neighborhood with its own identity.
Looking at a Royal Oak East listing? No pressure.
