Designed by architect David Martin Alden and opened in 1990, the course was built around the property's existing wetlands and natural terrain, earning recognition from Florida Golf News as one of the top 100 courses in Florida and one of the top three in Sarasota. The community is conveniently located within minutes of I-75 and just around the corner from Twin Lakes Park, offering football, soccer, baseball, and softball fields — including the Orioles Buck O'Neil Complex (5 lighted diamonds with batting cages) — basketball courts, multi-purpose fields, tennis and racquetball courts, a fishing pier, playground, picnic areas, and walking/birding trails. World-renowned Benderson Rowing Park, the shopping, dining, and entertainment of UTC Mall, and Sarasota's rich culture and famous beaches are all within close proximity.
