Here’s more on the benefits of living in a country club community.
Security and privacy
Many country club communities provide gated entrances and exits that set the stage for each community’s overall appearance.
Gated entrances can include on-duty personnel or be fully automated, yet no matter their setup, they provide residents with 24/7 security and privacy.
Major amenities
Country club community amenities vary by design and location. One constant is that those activities are anchored by a spacious multi-purpose building, the physical country club.
Resident amenities often include golf, tennis and other sports courts, plus on-site fitness centers. A community’s club building also hosts dining and social amenities such as restaurants, bars and a 19th-hole bar and grill if golf is on the amenity menu.
The area surrounding a community’s club building typically includes resort-style swimming pools, sun decks and perhaps cabana bars.
The building also is the meetup site for organized community activities such as movie nights, holiday celebrations, fall festivals, meet-and-greets, wine clubs and cooking demonstrations. Some country club communities also feature a full-time activity director to organize it all.
Beautiful surroundings
Another benefit of living in a country club community is its aura. Often, these master-planned communities feature specific architectural designs such as casual coastal, farmhouse, or Mediterranean vibes due to Florida’s temperate year-round climate.
These aesthetics extend to community structures such as gatehouses, park pavilions and residential floor plans.
Attractive landscaping goes hand-in-hand with a country club community’s architectural design, reflecting specific plantings, flower beds and vistas that encircle golf courses.
These two communities are good illustrations of a country club community lifestyle, with Amelia National offering a beautiful golf course designed by legendary course designer Tom Fazio, plus a French Provincial clubhouse that anchors an eight-Har-Tru-court tennis center and other amenities.
Plantation Bay offers 45 holes of golf, two clubhouses, a Wellness Center with swimming pools, cabana bar, fitness center, full-service spa, tennis and pickleball centers, and other sports courts.
