Grasslands Golf and Country Club Homes for Sale, Lakeland FL

About Grasslands Golf and Country Club

Grasslands Golf and Country Club is a gated community in south Lakeland, in the 33803 ZIP, a short drive from Lake Hollingsworth and the Florida Southern College area. The developer, Drummond Corp., opened the club in the early 1990s, and the residential side grew in named villages such as Muirfield Village, Shoal Creek Village and Grasslands Village, along with the Sanctuary section. That village structure means buyers can find single-family homes on golf and lake lots, as well as villa and condo-style homes with less exterior upkeep, all inside one gate. The club is now member-owned after its equity members bought it from the developer. For buyers, the membership point is simple: living in Grasslands does not automatically include membership, and the club also takes members who live outside the gates. That makes the club a choice rather than a requirement. Each village can carry its own association and fees, so compare them carefully between sections.

The golf at Grasslands Golf and Country Club

The golf course at Grasslands is an 18-hole championship layout that is private and played by members and their guests. The club opened in the early 1990s under developer Drummond Corp. and later became member-owned when its equity members purchased it from the developer. Membership categories include golf, social and tennis, and associate memberships have been offered to grow the roster. Living in the gated community is not required to join. The course runs through the residential villages, with many homes fronting fairways or water, and the clubhouse provides dining and the hub for tournaments and social events. Tennis and a pool add to the club's day-to-day use for members who play golf only part of the week. Members who join from outside the gates add to the roster and help keep the calendar full.

Is club membership required in Grasslands Golf and Country Club?

Optional. Living in Grasslands does not automatically include membership, and the member-owned club also accepts members who live elsewhere. Golf, social and tennis categories are offered.
