For a golf community steeped in fine tradition, seriously consider The Oaks Club in Osprey, Sarasota County. This private membership club traces its history to nearly a century ago. In its long years of existence, it has drawn membership not only from the entire US but also from several countries overseas.
Central to The Oaks Club community life is its stately 34,000-square foot club house teeming with facilities and amenities of world-class standards. It has an impressive array of twelve Har-Tru tennis courts, four of them with lights for night matches. There are also pro shops for golf and tennis, aside from a croquet court. In addition, club members have access to a junior Olympic-size, heated swimming pool with a children’s playground adjacent to it.
Dining facilities and watering holes too are exquisite. Formal dining is accommodated at The Glen Room which also has a bar. For a more casual ambience, members go to The Tavern and the Grille Room where drinks and cocktails are served from their well-stocked bars. The socials for which The Oaks is famous for either formal or informal occasions are pegged on several internal clubs for men and women. Such activities can range from bridge and mahjong games to monthly luncheons among male club members with invited guest speakers.
Club membership is a must for all property owners in The Oaks community. Options are either for equity or a social membership. Associate memberships in golf, tennis, junior tennis, and dining are available to non-residents.
The Oaks Golf Courses
Member-golfers at The Oaks won’t have much of a problem booking play at the club as it has two world-class, 18-hole golf courses—Eagle and Heron. Both are par-72 layouts that were designed for all players and abilities. The Eagle course among the best in southwestern Florida and was a design by the world-famous golf architect Arthur Hills. Played from the farthest tees, its yardage is 7,003 yards, and 5,022 yards from the forward tees.
The Heron layout was originally designed by William Byrd, also a world-renowned golf course builder. It measures 4,986 yards from the forward tees and 6,695 yards from the back tees.
Beside these courses, The Oaks also has reciprocal agreements with local golf courses for summer schedules. It also provides members with golf training facilities and lessons conducted by a professional staff under a PGA pro. Additionally, the club has full-service locker rooms for its golfers.
The Residential Community
Residences in The Oaks are divided into three neighborhoods: Oaks Bayside which borders Little Sarasota Bay; Oaks Clubside at the boundaries of the two golf courses; and the Oaks Preserve tucked in a natural estuary.
The Oaks Preserve is a gated neighborhood consisting of four areas within: Bishopscourt comprised of two-story homes and ranch-type villas; Bishopscourt Townhomes consisting of two buildings that are maintenance-free; Emerald woods composed of maintenance free villas; and Meridian, a complex of four ten-story condominiums with a vantage view of Sarasota Bay.
With these diverse types of residences, the Oaks can be truly an attractive proposition to investors and home buyers with varying budgets and residential preferences. A condo unit with 2,055 square feet of floor space can have an asking price approaching the $300 level. At the higher end, an estate home with almost 10,500 square feet of floor area can have a tag price in the $7 million range.
All factors point to the wisdom of having The Oaks as a residential address. This golf club continues to be a membership magnet because of its superior facilities and amenities. Moreover, this golf club community is ideally located and belongs to the area that has made Florida a prime travel and tourist destination.
