Anyone interested in living in a community surrounded by lush greeneries and abundant residential conveniences would be well-advised to explore possibilities at Tara Golf & Country Club. Tara’s homes are located in Bradenton, Florida, and likewise have the advantage of being near other major development hubs in the state, like those in Sarasota, St. Petersburg, and Tampa.
This community was developed more than twenty years ago on a 1,100-acre parcel located south of State Road 70 and west of Interstate 75 in Bradenton. Its mixed-used development of a golf course and residential properties has attracted home buyers and investors from both the US and overseas.
The allure of Tara’s properties has remained even as the adverse effects of the recent economic downturn have taken its toll in many real estate developments. For one thing, the operations of the golf and country club has been managed well over the years and remained very much so with the turnover of the management to the membership in 1997.
In spite of the economic difficulties in recent years, the country club was able to embark on a $7.5 million renovation in 2009. One direct result was the restoration of its clubhouse to its original Southern plantation theme and the complete renovation of its kitchen facilities. Services to members were thus further enhanced at Scarlett’s Restaurant, venue for casual and formal dining at the clubhouse. Ditto goes for the member privileges at The Grille Room.
Other member benefits can be enjoyed at the clubhouse patio and multi-purpose rooms for meetings, socials, and card games. Additionally, the members have access to a swimming pool with geothermal heating, a spa, a fully-equipped fitness center, a sauna, and two lighted tennis courts.
Tara Golf Course
Tara’s 18-hole, par 72 golf course has also been renovated. The links were originally designed by the famous golf course architect Ted McAnlis and are located in the Drewrys Bluff area in the Tara property. The course features 6,845 yards of play from its longest tees, and has a course rating of 72.8 and a slope rating of 136 on Bermuda grass.
Another well-known course designer, Ron Garl, handled the Tara golf layout’s renovation. The redevelopment work has fortified the links’ standing as among the best in Florida. The renovation included a complete resurfacing of the greens following USGA benchmarks and guidelines. Strict water conservation was introduced through an irrigation system with state-of-the-art mechanisms. A pro shop, a driving range, and putting greens are the other complementary golf facilities that Tara maintains efficiently.
Membership in the country club falls either in Class A or B, with the category based on the Tara property an individual owns. The Class A members enjoy full privileges including use of the golf course and all other club facilities. The Class B members are granted access to the clubhouse, tennis courts, swimming pool and fitness facilities; guest rates are charged for limited golfing privileges.
Tara Golf and Country Club Real Estate
The Tara community has several neighborhoods composed of single-family homes and condominiums, each of which has its own association of homeowners. From the low price end, a condominium complex can have an available unit with a floor plan of 1,097 square feet for sale at the $75,000 range. One on the top of a sales listing can be a single- family residence in Tuscany style in the $450,000 price level for its 1,100 square feet of living space.
These properties either have or are eligible for Class A or B club memberships. One thing that is most certain though is that they have the advantage of being in a well-managed community close to myriads of suburban attractions and conveniences. Many of these are as near as just five miles from the residences, hence making a Tara property deal truly worth a handshake.
