Feather Sound Homes for Sale, Clearwater FL

About Feather Sound

Feather Sound is a planned golf community in mid-Pinellas, tucked between Ulmerton Road, Roosevelt Boulevard, and Old Tampa Bay in the area locals call Gateway. The club markets itself as centrally located between Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Tampa, and that location is the main reason buyers look here. The Howard Frankland Bridge is minutes away, which makes the drive to Westshore and Tampa International Airport one of the shortest in the county. Housing is a mix. A large share of the inventory is condominiums along Feather Sound Drive and side streets such as Cormorant Court and Skimmer Court, with garden-style buildings in a parklike setting. There are also townhome and villa sections, plus the Feather Sound Custom Home Site area with larger detached homes on bigger lots. Each section has its own association, and fees and rules vary a lot, so compare documents carefully. The country club has operated since the 1970s and sits at 2201 Feather Sound Drive. Feather Sound is in unincorporated Pinellas County with a Clearwater mailing address, so check flood zone and insurance carefully on any property close to the bay.

The golf at Feather Sound

Feather Sound Country Club opened in the mid 1970s on a Joe Lee design, and Bob Cupp reworked it in the late 1980s. In 2021 Kipp Schulties Golf Design completed a full redesign, and the club now describes a par 72 championship layout that can stretch to about 7,300 yards. Existing lakes shape most holes, and Schulties placed fairway and greenside bunkers to give the layout more character than the flat site suggests. The club is private, with tee times for members and guests. It also has a tennis program with its own instruction and shop, a clubhouse restaurant, and event space for weddings and tournaments. The Tampa Bay Times has named it one of the five best private clubs in Tampa Bay, according to the club. Membership categories and pricing are set by the club, so contact the membership office for current options.

Living in Feather Sound: location and lifestyle

Feather Sound's main selling point is the commute.

The Gateway area around Roosevelt Boulevard and Ulmerton Road has a large concentration of office parks and employers, plus shopping at the Shoppes at Park Place and the Carillon area. Clearwater Beach is roughly 25 minutes west. For time outdoors, Weedon Island Preserve and the Gateway boardwalks give you kayak trails and mangrove views, and the Pinellas Trail is reachable by bike. Inside Feather Sound, residents walk along shaded streets and around lakes, and the club restaurant serves as a neighborhood gathering spot.
