Sarasota Golf Real Estate
As a member of The Oaks Club, I enjoy reciprocal play in the summer months ( May to October ) at 16 of the best local clubs in the Sarasota/Venice/Bradenton area…and all but three* charge no more than a cart fee ! Many of my real estate clients have asked me to provide them with a list of…
Sarasota has only one bundled golf community…Heritage Oaks. Meaning, when you buy a home the membership goes with the home. You pay a one time capital contribution of $3,500 when you close on a property, then just regular membership dues like any other private course. The beauty is this…all 800+ homes = 800+ memberships. Everyone…

Since then, the club has grown to a membership of 915…both residential members and non resident “associate” members. Because all residents must join the club, either as a…
As a realtor who specializes in golf course communities, I closely follow the changing fee structures of our best local courses. And how the times have changed…The Founders Club (” Best Overall Community” in 2008 and 2009 Parade of Homes) has drastically altered their fee structure to acknowledge the difficulty of attracting members in tough…
Had three guests arrive early from Canada last weekend. Normally I would accompany them on their round at a private course of my choosing, thanks to my local connections. But I was out of town. So how do I show them a great golf day without me there ? Easy….Misty Creek Country Club is a private golf club but just…
