Way back on May 2 I threatened to go see these three courses…Calusa Lakes Golf Club in Nokomis, Waterford Golf Club in Venice and The Golf Club at Capri Isles in Venice…and I finally did so this week. All owned by the same consortium…if you join one you have year round playing priviledges at all…
Held an open house on Sunday at my Prestancia listing on Villa D Este. It’s a 2/2 plus den, two car garage villa with preserve and lake views in terrific condition offered at $349k. Five couples came through and as I explained the various golf membership opportunities to them, I thought it would be “blog worthy”…
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…
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…
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…
It’s been awhile since my last blog on Palm-Aire Country Club ( see November 22/2009 post) but a new program makes this club worth revisiting. In today’s Sarasota Herald Tribune ( April 11/2010) an advertisement boasts the following offer. Golfers can join the club for 6 months ( May through October ) and play unlimited…
In an article in this week’s Sarasota Herald Tribune, there is some positive real estate news coming out of The Founder’s Club. Caught in the timing of the 2005/2006 downturn, this upscale golf community suffered miserably and sales drew to a halt. Those who did purchase now find their homes/lots at roughly 50% of their former…
In an earlier blog in February, I detailed which clubs offer reciprocal priviledges to my home club, The Oaks. That same blog prompted a number of enquiries as to the differing costs of membership associated with some of these private local golf clubs. So here is a list of nine clubs with their full initiation fee and…
I have mentioned this terrific 27 hole golf course community on many occasions in my blog, but always with respect to resale homes. But now, the Grosvenor Gardens area is offering a lot with site prep and home from $675,000. Home sites start at $241,800 and custom homes start in the high $300’s. Lot’s average 80…
Here’s a new one…blogging about a golf course community outside of the Sarasota – Bradenton – Venice area! My broker…Michael Saunders & Company…has an association with this unbelievable golf course community and an offer that I can pass on to you. This eight course community (which sits just outside of Asheville North Carolina)boasts two Jack Nicklaus…
