As reported by Mark Cardon, it is a sign of the economic times. Country clubs are simply no longer as private as they once were. Jacaranda West Country Club, Palm-Aire Country…
No new reporting for awhile…I am away on holiday until mid August. For those new to this blog, my goal is to report on a different course and its housing options every week. Feel free to scroll back to see my comments, in order, on these local Sarasota and Manatee golf course communities. Hey,…
