Played Bradenton yesterday. Shot a very pedestrian 81…but it was enough to take money off the boys. Wonderful track in excellent condition. The staff were bragging that the undulating tift eagle greens roll to an average stimp meter speed of 10 to 10.5. Might as well blame that for my two three putts. Designed…
“Survive the First Five” is the motto of this terrfic semi-private club in the community of Waterlefe. Challenging is an understatement. This Ted McAnlis design is a collection of signature holes that winds along the Manatee River. Just a beautiful and natural setting . Four t-boxes are available and can stretch the course to a…
In the past 90 days we have 22 pendings and 20 sales for Downtown Sarasota Condos averaging a sales price of $ 489,000 – average list price was $ 519,000. The surprising thing is that only 13 of these were in the newer buildings – One Hundred Central, Alinari, 1350 Main, Marquee en ville, Rivo and Burns Court…

Returned to The Founders Club last Friday with a client from Seattle ( yes…Seattle). We were treated royally by club manager Hugh O’Donnel. Excellent lunch and golf round followed by a home tour…this gentleman’s third trip to the community. The real estate deals here are, in a word, amazing. We saw one home at 9308…
Most Downtown condos have two bedrooms in Sarasota unless you go into the higher priced units. I have been recently asked to find a 3 bedroom under $ 500,000. My search gave me a limited selection but I was surprised I found three great opportunities in 100 Central, Rivo and Renaissance. Inventory is low for…
I will be heading south this week to tour both the Calusa Lake Golf Club (1991) and the surrounding neighborhood of 575 single family homes over 460 wooded acres. My 2007 membership brochure to this semi-private course is in dire need of updating. While there, I will also visit two other associated courses…Capri Isles (1972) and…
May 1 is just around the corner. That date signals the start of our local six month reciprocal season. Fourteen of the best private clubs in our area allow interclub play for the price of only a cart fee….three others have a modest charge. One of my favourite reciprocals is Sara Bay Country Club. Sara Bay is not…
