Residence Club Privileges
The NorthShore Villas and Yacht Club Residence Club is exclusive, as the name implies, to residents of NorthShore. As a member of the Residence Club, you get much more than a luxury villa in a beautiful setting.
Even though you own the residence, you never have to worry about repairs, maintenance, or housekeeping. A staff for personalized service at your disposal means you can spend your time enjoying the resort and not worrying about details. If you want a tee time at Lincoln Hills Country Club, our staff will set it up. We’ll do your laundry, park your car, let your boat in and out, watch your kids—anything.
If it exists at NorthShore, it’s included in your Residence Club privileges.

The limited nature of the offering, combined with the features, benefits and amenities also offers a level of unprecedented exclusivity.
