The Oaks Club, a prestigious country club community, is just minutes from downtown Sarasota and is the epitome of gracious living. This is the most prominent address in Sarasota, a 1,000-acre luxury community where lushly landscaped homes harmonize with the rich natural beauty of Florida’s Gulf coast and the serenity of Little Sarasota Bay. Some of Sarasota’s most beautiful homes are located within The Oaks. The Oaks Club recently underwent extensive renovations that include a completely renovated clubhouse, golf pro shop, and locker rooms and the redesigned Eagle course. In addition to golf, the Club offers family tennis on twelve HAR-TRU® courts with HydroGrid irrigation, croquet, swimming, elegant and casual dining, and a full calendar of social events. The club has made bold moves to upgrade both golf courses with legendary architects, establishing itself as the finest golf community in Sarasota. | Given the location of The Oaks, access to Gulf beaches is easy and nearby Sarasota, is known for its thriving cultural life. The Oaks is one hour from Tampa and two hours from Orlando. There is easy access to Interstate 75, linking the area with Naples, further south, and Ft. Lauderdale and Miami on the east coast. Sarasota/Bradenton Airport is 15 miles away, and Tampa International and Southwest Florida International (Fort Myers) Airports are both approximately one hour away. The Oaks Club board of governors, elected by the membership, provides the leadership to keep the Club financially sound. All Oaks residents are members of the Club, making The Oaks Club active, vital, and financially sound. Non-residents may also join The Oaks Club as Associates and participate in golf, tennis, dining, and social activities. |
1. The Oaks Club is a mandatory membership country club community. The Club offers full golf Equity or Social memberships. The fees for mandatory membership equal only a small portion of the sustainable real estate premium for your property. 2 . Mandatory membership is the cornerstone of the financial strength and stability of the Club. With mandatory membership, the Club is supported by all members of the community. Membership in the Club also allows for easy assimilation to a new community and provides a rich enhancement to the property owner's lifestyle and social activities. 3. The Club is member owned and governed. The members elect a Board of Governors which is supported by member-staffed committees and a Strategic Long Range Planning Council. The Board's role in Club governance is to recommend and take actions that are designed to protect and improve member investment and enjoyment of the Club. Being member owned and governed insures that the decisions are made for the best long term benefit of the property owners. This is a significant benefit as opposed to a developer-owned and -driven short-term agenda to complete a development and move on. 4. The member-elected Board of Governors makes fiscally responsible decisions that strike a prudent balance between maintaining both a competitive market position and supporting operations that deliver the desired level of service and member experience. 5. A Professional General Manager and staff manage the day-to-day operations of the Club. | 6. The Oaks Club offers a wide variety of real estate options in three settings . Estate homes in Club side, Bayside, and The Preserve, waterfront mansions in Bayside, and maintenance-free, zero lot line homes and condominiums in The Preserve. 7. The Club offers world class amenities including two championship-style, 18-hole golf courses: the Eagle and the Heron. The Eagle was completely reconstructed to an Arthur Hills design in 2006. There are extensive golf practice facilities, a pro shop, and locker rooms. Other amenities include a tennis facility with 12 newly renovated Har-Tru, Hydro-Grid courts and pro shop, a heated junior Olympic pool, playground, and a professional croquet court. A 42,000 square foot clubhouse with three dining venues, ballroom, private party rooms, and meeting rooms is the center of an active social life. 8. Extensive activities planned by the Club's pros, clubhouse staff, and the women's and men's clubs provide opportunities for a vibrant social life. 9. Facilities are maintained in excellent condition. There is consistent, prudent, prioritized investment in maintaining, enhancing, and adding amenities to meet the evolving needs and lifestyle desires of the members. 10. The Oaks Club has established a reputation for quality and continuous improvement over the past 25 years. 11. The Oaks Club community has an evolving demographic which is experiencing a declining average age. 12. Ideal location in the heart of Sarasota County. Convenient to medical, shopping, restaurants, theater and the arts, education, beaches, transportation, etc. |
The Oaks Club Vision The Oaks Club is guided by this vision: The Oaks Club will be the private country club of choice in the Sarasota area. The Club will provide an exceptional experience for golf, tennis, and other desired recreational activities, and will maintain the highest standards for a variety of dining services, social, and family programs. Supported by the Strategic Long-Range Planning Council, the board of governors continually evaluates the direction of its investment in the Club’s assets. Future projects under consideration are a fitness center, renovation of the Heron golf course, and additional private dining and meeting space. |

Southbay is a lovely deed restricted/non gated waterfront community in Osprey, Sarasota County. Located along Little Sarasota Bay, it is truly a place to live if people cannot decide whether they want to country living or waterfront living. Southbay is ideal because homeowners have both worlds.
Almost 360 homes are in Southbay. Some are located on the Intracoastal Waterway. Some are surrounding the 7 acre marina, and many homes are on manicured park like greenbelt areas. The amenities are manifold: clubhouse with ballroom, exercise room with a sauna, and a library. Furthermore, a park with five miles of winding sidewalks for walking/running/biking, deep-water marina with 172 slips for boats up to 55’ and access to the Gulf of Mexico via the Intracoastal Waterway, shuffle board courts, a 50’ heated swimming pool, and four lighted tennis courts (“sport clay” and asphalt).
Most of the homes in Southbay were built in the 70’s or 80’s. Some of them really need major remodeling; others have already been nicely updated. In 2005 the prices used to be in the jaw dropping $415,000 to $1,900,000 range ($219 to $624/sqft), but 2011 prices are way down. The majority of the homes sell now for $170,000 to $430,000, which translates into a sqft price of $101 - $158. This seems a lot more affordable than it used to be a few years ago. |

Osprey, Florida is located in Sarasota County Florida, just south of Sarasota in what's referred to as "unincorporated" Sarasota County. Osprey is a diverse community with multi-million dollar homes and mobile home parks just up the road from the same luxury homes. Osprey is the mailing address for Oscar Scherer State Park, one of the few protected areas maintaining habitat for the threatened Florida scrub jay.
