Mission Royale is an active adult community found at 602 Highway 31 S in Hartselle, Alabama, and folks who live here need to have at least one occupant who's 55 or older, with most residents in that age group, though sometimes first-time buyers aged 45 to 54 can live here too, but nobody under 18 can live here full-time, and the whole place covers about 835 acres that Meritage Corporation developed, with homes and lots built around an 18-hole golf course that Greg Nash designed, and this course comes with a slope rating of 122, a course rating of 71.1, stretches out to 6,700 yards, and carries a par of 72, and it's known for being both scenic and friendly to different skill levels, with nature around and wildlife sometimes passing through, though if folks need help with that they can check the Arizona Game and Fish Department for resources.
Residents can use the Mission Royale Golf Club for recreational play, along with the Pro Shop for equipment, and the Mission Grille for meals or drinks, plus other dining places like T Time Grill, Silver Oak Restaurant, K&A's Clubhouse, a Wendy's, plus a Taco Bell at the address, and there's Mexican, Chinese, and buffet food nearby as well. Golfers get access to PGA coaching, amateur programs, a practice area with putting, chipping, pitching, and a driving range, and club rentals, but there aren't any caddies, though carts, including both gas and electric, are allowed, with electric only on the course, and carts need insurance if folks take them off private property.
The community holds PGA member events, runs amateur golf development, and uses a membership called the Tournament Club Concept, plus you've got an eClub for special offers, and there's a commitment to organized tournaments, scheduled maintenance like closing hole #17 from time to time, and a dress code requiring collared shirts, but walking the course is allowed. Amenities include a pool with set hours-7 am to 9 pm, and times when kids under 16 can swim, tennis and pickleball courts on a first-come basis, a recreational center open daily from 6 am to 9 pm, and mailbox keys, pool access cards, and trash pick-up services handled by the community, with extra barrels if needed.
Homeowners have to pay a quarterly assessment that adds up to $1,680 a year, register guests at the Rec Center, meet RV parking rules, and follow guidelines about changes to outside landscaping or painting, which first need approval from an Architectural Review Committee that meets every two months and can take up to 45 days to review projects. There's a homeowners association managed by AAM, LLC, which oversees compliance, and new buyers get mailbox keys from the builder, but re-sale owners have to coordinate with the title company or the previous owner. All in all, Mission Royale is set up for adults who want organized golf, regular social or tennis matches, easy access to restaurants, and clear community rules.
