Prestancia
Prestancia is a classic golf community. Located 25-minutes south of downtown Sarasota, this gated community boasts two world-class, 18-hole golf courses on more than 500 acres of beautiful Florida land. TPC Prestancia offers two challenging courses, Stadium and Players, which are built to challenge the most seasoned player.
Homes in the area are unique in style and architecture, many created by region’s most prominent designers. The meticulously maintained homes feature luxurious interiors and spectacular views of the golf course and nearby lakes. Many of the backyards of these homes are right on the course.
Located within the Palmer Ranch community, Prestancia is sited next to the popular Legacy Trail and 20 minutes from Siesta Key’s beautiful white-sand beaches.
Founders Club
The Founders Club is a tight-knit community of 262 homes spread over 700 scenic acres in another incredible neighborhood for golfers.
The neighborhood is home to an 18-hole par-72 Robert Trent Jones Jr. championship course featuring a series of forested lakes and meticulously groomed fairways.
As its name suggests, The Founders Club takes pride in the tradition of golf. The breathtaking course takes players through tranquil bodies of water, Florida wetlands, and towering oaks, palms, and pines, using the natural elevation to give each hole a unique challenge.
The community offers a mix of beautiful landscaping and the raw natural beauty of the outdoors. Sprawling estate-style homes with lush gardens overlook the greens, lakes, and wooded areas.
The Founders Club is conveniently located less than 20 minutes from downtown Sarasota’s dining, shopping, arts, and culture.
