A Historic Home for an Iconic Brand

The new boutique resides in Odd Fellows Hall, a 4,800-square-foot building dating back to 1897. Once a hub for gatherings and civic life, the landmark has been meticulously reimagined as a stage for one of the world’s most coveted watchmakers. The restoration maintains the building’s grandeur, while interiors reveal the crisp elegance of Rolex: marble details, wood paneling, and generous natural light.

Beyond its architectural poise, the boutique offers intimacy and discovery. Guests may explore curated salons, private lounges, and a second-floor terrace overlooking gardens that feel more like a Hamptons estate than a retail setting. The result is not a store in the traditional sense, but rather a sanctuary for collectors and enthusiasts—a place where precision and artistry are presented with the same reverence as fine art.

A Legacy Forged in Persistence

For London Jewelers, the East Hampton opening represents the culmination of nearly a century of heritage and over 50 years of partnership with Rolex. That journey, however, began not with prestige but with persistence.

“In 1976, I called Rolex for like two years trying to get them on,” recalled Mark Udell, CEO of London Jewelers. “It was a little mom and pop store my parents had in Glen Cove and we didn’t really have any high-end brands. And finally, after two years, Bob Reynolds called me and said, ‘I’m going to come out and see you.’ He goes, ‘You are so persistent, that we’re going to sell you the line, ok?’ You know what? It worked.”

That determination set London Jewelers on a trajectory that would transform both the family business and the local luxury landscape. Udell remembers clearly the very first Rolex sale. “At the time the men’s gold President was $2,700. My dad said, ‘How are you going to sell a watch for $2,700?’ I said, ‘Dad, we have no choice.’ … At about 5 o’clock the first night, one of my doctor customers was looking in the window. He says, ‘I’ve wanted this watch for many years. Today’s your first day. I’m going to buy it.’”

Those early moments now echo inside the East Hampton boutique, where a Day-Date President in Everose gold retails for nearly $50,000. The contrast is a testament to Rolex’s enduring legacy—and to London Jewelers’ role in cultivating generations of collectors.

A New Destination in the Hamptons

Today, standing in the newly opened boutique, Udell’s passion for the brand is as strong as ever. “I can’t wait to wake up to come to the boutique every morning,” he told a crowd gathered for the opening. That enthusiasm is shared by the Hamptons community, where lines have already formed outside the boutique since its debut.

The arrival of Rolex in East Hampton underscores the East End’s evolution from a summer retreat into a global luxury stage. From the Hamptons Fine Art Fair to philanthropic galas, the region draws tastemakers who view fine watches as part of a broader lifestyle of art, culture, and legacy.

With its blend of heritage architecture, Hamptons character, and Rolex’s enduring craftsmanship, the boutique is destined to become a seasonal pilgrimage for collectors and a year-round fixture in East Hampton life. Here, timelessness is more than a brand ideal—it is built into the walls themselves.

1. Year-Round Golfing Weather

One of the biggest draws for golfers considering a move to Texas is the climate. While summers can be hot, fall, winter, and spring offer ideal golfing conditions, especially in central and southern parts of the state. Unlike northern states, where courses shut down for the winter, Texas golfers can hit the links every month of the year. Whether you prefer the lush rolling hills of the Hill Country or the coastal breezes of the Gulf, Texas’ diverse climate zones offer a variety of golf experiences.

2. A Golf Course for Every Style of Play

Texas is home to more than 900 golf courses, catering to a wide range of playing styles and preferences. Whether you prefer the classic parkland courses found in Dallas and Houston, the breathtaking resort courses in Austin and San Antonio, or the challenging desert layouts in West Texas, the state has something for everyone. Some of the most renowned courses include:

• TPC San Antonio (AT&T Oaks Course) – A PGA Tour stop and one of the finest courses in the state.
• Dallas National Golf Club – Known for its immaculate conditioning and exclusivity.
• Austin Country Club – A favorite among top players, hosting the WGC-Dell Match Play event.
• Colonial Country Club (Fort Worth) – A historic gem that hosts the annual Charles Schwab Challenge.
• The Clubs at Houston Oaks – A golfer’s paradise set in a serene, private setting.

With public, semi-private, and private courses at every price point, Texas provides golfers with abundant options to play and practice.

3. Lower Cost of Living & No State Income Tax

Texas is one of the few states with no state income tax, making it an attractive destination for professionals, retirees, and entrepreneurs alike. Compared to states like California and New York, housing and living expenses are generally lower, allowing golfers to stretch their dollars further—whether that means upgrading to a home near a top-rated course or investing in a private club membership.

4. Thriving Golf Communities & Private Clubs

For those seeking an immersive golf lifestyle, Texas offers some of the best private golf communities in the country. These communities combine luxurious living with championship golf, often featuring resort-style amenities, elite practice facilities, and access to social events. Some of the most sought-after golf communities include:

• Vaquero Club (Westlake, TX) – A private haven designed by Tom Fazio, attracting PGA Tour pros and celebrities.
• Cordillera Ranch (Boerne, TX) – A stunning Jack Nicklaus Signature course nestled in the Texas Hill Country.
• Bluejack National (Montgomery, TX) – A Tiger Woods-designed golf course with a laid-back luxury feel.
• Escondido Golf & Lake Club (Horseshoe Bay, TX) – A top-rated private club offering both golf and waterfront activities.
• Great Hills Country Club (Austin, TX) – One of only three member-owned private clubs in Austin, currently undergoing renovation by Chet Williams, whose recent project was named Golf Digest’s Best New Course of 2025.

These communities provide a seamless blend of leisure, camaraderie, and world-class golf—making Texas an even more attractive place to call home.

5. Growing Economy & Job Opportunities

Texas is a magnet for professionals and entrepreneurs, thanks to its strong economy, business-friendly policies, and diverse job market. Major metropolitan areas like Dallas, Austin, and Houston are home to Fortune 500 companies, tech startups, and growing industries, making it easy for newcomers to find career opportunities while enjoying their passion for golf. With new residents flocking to Texas daily, the demand for high-end golf experiences and club memberships continues to grow.

6. Premier Golf Events & Tournaments

Living in Texas means you’re never far from a premier golf event. The state hosts multiple professional tournaments, including:

• The Valero Texas Open (San Antonio) – One of the oldest tournaments on the PGA Tour.
• The Charles Schwab Challenge (Fort Worth) – Hosted at the historic Colonial Country Club.
• Houston Open (Houston) – A longstanding stop on the PGA Tour, attracting top players.
• The WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play (Austin) – Held at the stunning Austin Country Club.

For golf enthusiasts, this means front-row access to some of the best tournaments in the world, along with opportunities to watch and interact with elite players.

7. A Golf-Friendly Culture & Social Scene

Beyond the courses, Texas offers a vibrant golf culture that brings together players of all ages and skill levels. With numerous golf leagues, networking events, and social gatherings at private clubs, it’s easy to find a community of like-minded individuals who share your passion for the game. The state is also home to innovative golf entertainment venues like Topgolf, Drive Shack, and PGA Frisco, making golf accessible and fun for everyone.

If golf is a major part of your lifestyle, Texas checks all the boxes. With its warm climate, elite courses, private golf communities, no state income tax, and booming economy, it’s no wonder that golfers from across the country are making the move. Whether you’re looking for a new home near a championship course, seeking membership at an exclusive club, or simply want to enjoy golf-friendly weather year-round, Texas delivers the ultimate golfer’s paradise.

So, if you’re thinking about relocating, why not pick a state where you can live, work, and golf without limits? Texas might just be the perfect place for your next great adventure.

Want to explore one of the most picturesque regions in California? Take a road trip along the 17-Mile Drive, where you can see the best parts of the Monterey Peninsula – one of California’s most iconic destinations. The 17-Mile Drive is a perfect day-long road trip, offering striking ocean vistas, breathtaking coastal real estate, along with some of the most popular golf courses in the world.

Spanish Bay Beach

People will have the opportunity to see a soft and beautiful white beach where they can enjoy a unique stroll along the boardwalk. It’s also worth it for visitors to take their shoes off and enjoy the sand feeling between their toes. People can also see the iconic golf course, The Links at Spanish Bay when stopping on Spanish Bay Beach. This beach was called after Spanish explorers who were trying to find Monterey Bay at this spot in 1769.

Also recommend stopping into The Inn at Spanish Bay at sunset to watch/listen to the bagpiper while enjoying a beverage at the firepits.

Point Joe

In the past, many people thought that Point Joe was the entrance to Monterey Bay’s southern end. This led many ships to crash there. People will find a lookout point at this rocky area, where they can learn who Joe is and what significance he had back in time. They will also enjoy the stunning views of the waters and the rocks.

Bird Rock was also covered in around 5 feet of cormorant guano and pelican until 1930. It was later harvested as a fertilizer.

• Tip: When stopping at Bird Rock between November and March, people are advised to check the flukes and spouts of migrating grey whales.

The Lone Cypress

This is the 17-Mile Drive’s most famous stop. The Lone Cypress is home to the only Monterey Cypress Tree, which grew on a rock off Pebble Beach’s shores. This tree is thought to be more than 250 years old. Although it had one of its branches broken due to a massive storm in 2019, the Monterey Cypress Tree is still strong as ever until this day. Because the Lone Cypress is so famous, people will see its tree as part of Pebble Beach’s official logo. However, due to losing one of its branches, it now looks smaller than on the logo.

The post 9 of the Best Scenic Stops On 17 Mile Drive In Pebble Beach appeared first on Club Estates.

Perks like unlimited golf, the ability to meet new people, play in competitive tournaments, and enjoy all the facilities, are just a few of the many benefits ot membership. Here are 5 things to consider when you’re ready and how to join a private club.

Step 1: Make a List of your Wants and Needs in a Club

Not everyone in your household may be interested in golf. Consider what other amenities would benefit your family when joining a club. Are you looking for a club that has a spa or gym to workout and relax? Maybe summer camp programs for your kids?

Step 2: Research The Golf & Country Clubs in Your Area 

One of the worst things golfers can do is join the first club they visit. Think about it, you wouldn’t buy a car at the first lot you visit, would you? Then why would you do that with golf? 

Instead, do a deep dive on all the golf clubs in your area. Research online, ask friends, golfing buddies, and more. Compile a list, think about its location to home/work, and if you know any members at the club already.

The majority of members live within a 15 minute drive of their club. So be mindful of how far you’re willing to drive to optimize your usage.

Step 3: Play a Round

Almost all clubs will usually offer a “Member for a Day” where you can trial the facilities. They typically wine and dine you, pair you up with some members or allow you to bring a guest or two to play 18 holes. 

Also, some clubs might even offer a trial membership where you pay a certain amount per week or per month to give it a test run. If this is available, we highly recommend it as you’ll pretty quickly realize if it’s the right fit for you or not. Remember also, they’re feeling you out, as much as you are them.

Step 4: Calculate the Costs

Once you’ve tried out some courses or played a few rounds, now is time to compare the costs. Write down everything in a Google sheet or Excel spreadsheet to compare to your list of wants and needs in Step 1.

In this step, you will want to consider the type of membership you want and if any family members are joining. 

Step 5: Apply to Join the Club

If you’ve done your research and found one you love (not like, but love), pull the trigger. Usually, you have to fill out an application with more information about yourself, job, income, etc. Depending on the course, they might also ask for letters of recommendations from others or even from fellow golfers already at the club.  

Make sure to take everything slow and don’t feel like you have to make a decision instantly. Remember, if it doesn’t feel right or you don’t like the vibe of the club or members, run the other way. You want to join a place that makes you feel welcome and gives off a fun, inviting atmosphere. The last thing you want to do is join a club and end up hating it or are stuck in a long-term contract.
