A private island is a disconnected body of land wholly owned by a private citizen or corporation . Although this exclusivity gives the owner substantial control over the property, private islands remain under the jurisdiction of national and sometimes local governments. Their size vary widely, from that of a typical suburban yard to several hundred square kilometers.

Virtually all islands in the world are claimed and governed by some national government. That nation's laws apply, and any attempt by the owner to claim sovereignty would generally be unrealistic. Nevertheless, some people still try to set up their own micronations on islands, like real-estate millionaire Michael Oliver 's attempt at building a libertarian city-state called the Republic of Minerva in the southern Pacific Ocean . There are widely varying government policies regarding private islands: for instance, islands off the coast of China , like any other land within the country, [1] cannot be purchased outright, but only leased from the government for a maximum period of 50 years.

"Private" islands in the United Kingdom , Brazil , Chile and some other countries are not legally entirely private – any foreshore , such as a beach, is owned by the government, [ citation needed ] and is hence publicly accessible property, despite what the owners of the land on the island may wish to claim. The same applies to freedom to roam in Nordic countries: only the yard of a house and the immediate vicinity is legally protected against trespassing, and the water bodies around the island are freely navigable.

There are many thousands of uninhabited islands in the world with potential for commercial development of tourist resorts or private recreational use. Some islands can be bought undeveloped, while others already have roads and/or houses. Islands are also available for rent. [2] [3] Many celebrities have their own private islands. [4]

Commercial development of uninhabited islands can raise ecological concerns, as many have a fragile environment.

Since 1992 a number of cruise lines have acquired “private islands” to offer their customers exclusive beach experiences. Such islands (or sections thereof) were further developed to have restaurants and perhaps additional attractions such as parasailing, waterparks, zip lines, horseback riding, spas and more. [5] Some islands have piers , others are reached by tender . The purchase of an island allows the cruise line to achieve greater control over the venue and to influence the quality of experience of their passengers. [6] Certain private islands may be used not only by the cruise line that bought the property but also by associated lines. [5]

The real estate market for private islands varies globally. Prices tend to be lower in Nova Scotia , parts of Michigan and Maine , and parts of Central America ; and higher in Europe, the Bahamas , and Oceanic countries like French Polynesia . [7] Islands with amenities have higher market value and are not sold as frequently. [8] Some are available for travelers to rent, a trend which increased in the 2000s with economic recession making it more difficult for some owners to maintain them. [9]

In the 2000s, the United States housing bubble increased the cost-per-acre for private islands. The effect was fueled by the advent of the Internet, which provided greater access to island inventories. Conservation groups' efforts to restrict development reduced the supply of private islands in the market, raising prices. [8]

Southeast Asia has numerous islands, with Indonesia being an archipelago of 17,000 islands and the Philippines having around 7,100. Real estate laws restrict foreigners' ability to buy property in the geographical area, and many islands either have unclear ownership rights or are already settled. Private islands that are available in Southeast Asia's real estate market are also prohibitively costly due to being in high demand by hotel developers. Developments address these difficulties by selling private islands that have villas and neighbor islands that have high-end hotels; the proximity keeps costs of habitation down. [10]

Europe has hundreds of thousands of islands many of which are privately owned. With 17,000 islands in Finland, 221,831 islands in Sweden and thousands in Croatia, Europe is increasingly becoming a hotspot for private island holidays. [11] Many islands, although privately owned, are not suitable for development due to legal and governmental restrictions or due to the physical characteristics of the island.

The Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic feature a number of private islands typically run as sheep raising family farms and tourist destinations. Prominent among these is Weddell Island , one of the largest private islands in the world with a surface area of 265.8 km 2 (102.6 sq mi). [12] While the Hawaiian island of Lanai is still bigger at 364 km 2 (141 sq mi), technically it might not qualify as part of its territory (about 2%) does not belong to the principal owner. [13]

WiscoGolfAddict named #32 best golf blog in the world by feedspot.com (2022)
Golf course, destination and product reviews, photography, rankings and ramblings from Wisconsin's biggest golf addict, Paul Seifert
As far as I have seen, nobody in the state of Wisconsin has published a legitimate list of the state’s top private golf clubs. I don’t mind being the first.
I should state first and foremost that I have not played them all. In fact, to this point I have only played 24 of Wisconsin’s 54 private clubs. I have been adding to that number regularly, and this list is intended to be dynamic as my quest to find the very best private golf clubs in Wisconsin plays out.
I expect this list to be controversial, and that’s alright. People are passionate about their private clubs, and that’s wonderful. If your course doesn’t break in to the top 15, remember that there are some unbelievably good private courses in Wisconsin – I haven’t played any dogs yet. I expect this to be a fun endeavor, and I hope you enjoy the ride as each new private club I play has the ability to shake things up entirely.
My rankings revolve around the golf experience, which includes the course and its layout, conditions and the overall aesthetics, feel and playability.
Still on my list of well-renowned Wisconsin private clubs to review include, but are not limited to:
Think your private club should be considered? Please feel free to reach out to me at paul@wiscogolfaddict.com and let’s see if we can get a round of golf on the books!
My Top Ten Private Golf / Country Clubs in Wisconsin :
Designer: Harry B. Smead (1928) Yardage: Blue-6481, White-6151, Silver-5817, Gold-5302, Red-5076 Slope/Rating: Blue-132/72.3, White-128/70.7, Silver-125/69.3, Gold-121/66.9, Red-124/70.4 Par: 71
Pine Hills Country Club is one of the most beautiful, fun golf courses in the entire state. As one of my readers described it: “Pine Hills is like a roller coaster” – I could not agree more. From the severe elevation changes to their heavily contoured greens, a round at Pine Hills is as enjoyable as any of the Sheboygan area courses.
When originally targeted by Kohler to be his golf course for visitors to the American Club, the membership refused to sell, leading the plumbing fixtures magnate to meet with Pete Dye, fall in love with golf and course design, and eventually create his Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run empire as it is today.
Designers: CH Alison and HS Colt (1929) Yardage: Black-7094, Middle-6444, Forward-5856 Slope/Rating: Back-136/74.6, Middle-130/71.9, Forward-125/69.5 Par: 72
