Plantation Golf and Country Club Homes for Sale, Venice FL

About Plantation Golf and Country Club

Plantation Golf and Country Club is in Venice, east of the historic downtown and close to Jacaranda Boulevard, in Sarasota County. The community grew up around two courses that opened in 1987, and homes were added from the late 1980s through the 2000s, so buyers find single-family homes, villas and condo buildings in a mature setting with established landscaping. Unlike many clubs in the region, Plantation is not a gated community, which makes guest access and service calls simpler but means less controlled entry. The club is private and member-owned, and it has held a strong position in the Venice market for more than 25 years. Outside of golf, its racquet program is one of the largest in the area, with 13 Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball and a pool and fitness complex. Because the community contains several separate associations with their own rules, compare HOA scope and any club obligation for the exact building or street before making an offer.

The golf at Plantation Golf and Country Club

Plantation has two 18-hole courses, Bobcat and Panther, both designed by Ron Garl and opened in 1987. Having two layouts by one architect gives members a consistent style with different tests, and the club rotates play between them through the week. The club is private and member-owned. Golf programming includes a practice range, instruction from PGA professionals, invitationals, organized group play, private carts and a beverage cart, plus reciprocal play with other area clubs. The tennis side is unusually deep, with 13 Har-Tru courts (five lit for evening play), a tennis professional, leagues and tournaments. Health and fitness offerings include personal training, group fitness, water aerobics, yoga and pickleball, so the club serves members who play golf rarely as well as daily golfers.

Living in Plantation Golf and Country Club: location and lifestyle

Venice has a small-city pace with a walkable historic downtown, and Plantation is a short drive from Venice Avenue's shops and restaurants. Venice Beach and Caspersen Beach are about 10 to 15 minutes away, and the Venice Fishing Pier is a local favorite at sunset. The Legacy Trail runs north from Venice for biking. I-75 is about 10 minutes east via Jacaranda Boulevard, and Sarasota is about 30 minutes north. Venice has its own hospital and medical offices nearby. Englewood and Boca Grande are within a reasonable drive to the south for more beaches and fishing. Tampa is a long drive, so this location suits owners who do not need regular trips north. Venice's island downtown area hosts farmers markets, art walks and a performing arts center, which gives residents plenty of evening options within a few minutes of home.
