Just east of Interstate 75 and north of State Road 70, this new gated golf community of maintenance-free villas and single-family homes is the only active-lifestyle all-ages community at Lakewood Ranch, an established master-planned residential and commercial community in the Sarasota-Bradenton area of west-central Florida.
Esplanade Golf and Country Club at Lakewood Ranch combines California Tuscan architecture and conservation-oriented green building practices with a range of resort-style amenities and easy access to shopping, dining, medical care, outdoor recreation and excellent public schools. Golf, tennis, polo, cricket and other athletic facilities are located within Lakewood Ranch, with beaches, nature reserves and the many cultural attractions of Sarasota and Tampa Bay less than an hour away.
Future plans for Esplanade Golf and Country Club include the development of a proposed 18-hole championship golf course, Club Esplanade, fine dining, poolside bar and grill, tennis and racquet sports, wellness and fitness center, professional instruction and much more. Send me information now!
