A bundled-golf community inside the Heritage Harbour master plan east of I-75, platted across 76 phases of coach homes, terraces, villas and single-family houses, with 750 of them on the county roll built between 2009 and 2016. Golf is 27 holes by Arthur Hills, and membership is not optional here, it is built into the dues, which is why the HOA looks high next to its neighbors. What that buys is a 39,000 square foot clubhouse with formal and casual dining and a Tiki Bar, nine Har-Tru tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, a fitness center with an aerobics room, and nine pools across the community including a resort pool, a resistance pool and a heated spa. Forty-four percent of the houses back onto the golf course.

A gated golf community west of Lakewood Ranch, 1,338 houses on the county roll across 20 plats, the bulk built from the mid-1990s through 2020, centerd on an 18-hole par-72 championship course. The clubhouse covers dining before and after a round, and the amenity set runs to a community pool, a fitness center with an aerobics room, five tennis courts and a practice facility with a driving range, putting green and a bunker and chipping area, staffed by PGA professionals. Twenty-two percent of houses front the course and just over half have a private pool. There is no CDD, confirmed against the county roll, which is what keeps its total carrying cost below the bundled-golf communities east of the interstate.

A member-owned private club community west of I-75, 748 houses on the county roll built between 1989 and 2005, with a 120-acre par-72 championship course built to USGA standards. The structure is the thing to understand: membership comes in two classes, Class A carrying full golf and clubhouse privileges and Class B covering the clubhouse, pool, fitness center and tennis with golf at guest rates. Which class attaches to a given home changes the annual cost materially. The southern-style clubhouse runs six dining venues and a Sunday brunch open to the public, alongside a fitness center, steam room, spa, saunas, card room and pro shop, with a renovated pool, two renovated tennis courts, bocce and pickleball outside. Forty-seven percent of houses front the golf course.

A gated 1,000-acre community north of University Parkway, organized into 32 neighborhoods named after English places, Warwick Gardens, Virginia Water, Notting Hill, Wentworth and so on, totalling about 1,183 homes. The county roll counts 1,199 houses across 39 plats, built mostly between 1993 and 2007, with a median of about 2,706 square feet and 77% carrying a private pool. The club is resident-owned: 27 holes of Ron Garl golf rated four stars by Golf Digest, 11 lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, a fitness center, a croquet lawn and pickleball, with full dining. Membership is available to homeowners rather than compulsory. There is no CDD, which is unusual for a community this size and amenity-heavy, and it is confirmed against the county roll.

The only community in this set with its own marina. Waterlefe sits on the Manatee River east of I-75, 471 houses on the county roll built between 2000 and 2005, and the golf course runs 172 acres with five holes that touch the river. The Marina Club keeps 59 slips on the Manatee itself, sized 20 to 29 feet, with direct Gulf access, so a boat can be in open water the same morning. The River Club clubhouse is the social center, with fine dining over the water, a pro shop and a grill room. Beyond that: a saltwater resort pool, a Tiki Bar, a fitness center, pickleball, walking trails and a playground, plus an aquatic driving range with targets set out in the water. Twenty-seven percent of homes are waterfront and ninety percent have a private pool, the highest combination of the two anywhere in Bradenton.

A master-planned community along the Manatee River east of I-75, and more accurately an umbrella over three distinct neighborhoods: River Strand, Stoneybrook and Lighthouse Cove, each with its own association, its own fees and its own amenity package. There are two golf courses inside it, not one, a private 27-hole Arthur Hills layout at River Strand and an 18-hole course at Stoneybrook. The shared centerpiece is a 39,000 square foot clubhouse with dining, a large fitness center, a resort-style pool and eight Har-Tru tennis courts, and the master plan adds a 70-acre lake, sports fields, trails and a riverfront kayak launch. Establish which neighborhood a listing sits in before quoting anything, because the three are not interchangeable.

A golf community west of I-75 with a genuinely different product from its neighbors: the course is an 18-hole par-60 executive layout, originally by William Luis and since redesigned by Jed Azinger and Gordon Lewis, not a championship course. That is the reason Peridia delivers bundled golf at a fraction of what River Strand costs, because membership is included in the HOA fees. The roll counts 479 houses, villas and condominiums built between 1987 and 1997, 38% of them on the golf course. The renovated clubhouse holds the Terrace on the Green restaurant with a bar and tiki bar, Friday entertainment and a Sunday brunch, plus a pro shop, tennis and pickleball courts, a swimming pool, a driving range and practice greens. No CDD.

A 1,300-acre community along University Parkway built on the site of the historic DeSoto Lakes Golf Club, 201 houses on the county roll across nine plats from the 1990s, alongside villas and condominiums. Two 18-hole championship courses, the Champions and the Lakes, have both been renovated recently, and the club adds eight Har-Tru tennis courts with six lit for evening play, pickleball, a driving range, a fitness center, a junior Olympic pool and a 25,000 square foot clubhouse. Membership is optional and sold in five tiers, so residents can take as much or as little of the club as they want, and there is no CDD.

View →

A single-phase neighborhood of 207 houses on the county roll built between 1998 and 2001, beside a public golf course that 24% of the homes front without carrying a club membership to do it. Median house is about 1,769 square feet, over half with a private pool. No CDD and a $485 to $510 annual HOA, which is among the lowest carrying costs in Bradenton for a golf-adjacent address.

Also known as Whitfield Estates, established in the 1920s as Sarasota's first golf community, with homes along the fairways of Sara Bay Country Club, canal-front properties, and bayfront estates.
