Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club sits in a gated community with lots of trees and nature around, and the whole place feels peaceful and spread out. Residents can pick from golf villas, custom single-family homes, or estate homes, and prices start in the mid $300,000s and go up to about $3 million, and the houses all have access to the community's long list of amenities. The club has two main clubhouses, the bigger one being Club de Bonmont at 40,500 square feet, where folks can eat, have drinks with friends or look out at the golf course from the bar, and there's the Prestwick Club and Founders Club that offer inside and outdoor dining, each one overlooking either lakes or the courses. It's a private golf community with 45 holes of championship golf set among mossy oaks, wildlife, and quiet streets, and the Founders and Prestwick courses each have their own style, with the Founders North and South being designed by Steve Smyers with big sweeps of elevation, and the other ones sticking to classic Florida rolling hills, with extra challenges for those who like to walk or drive a cart. The golf staff gives lessons to people of all ages, and there are summer golf camps for juniors, so everyone gets a chance to work on their game, whether using the practice area or the driving range, and PGA professionals are on hand if someone wants real help.
Besides golf, the community has a lot of sports and fitness options. People play tennis on 10 Har-Tru courts and can take lessons, go to clinics, or join tennis leagues, and kids get summer junior tennis programs too. Pickleball has gotten popular, and there are 10 courts and instructors who lead lessons and special events, which lets newer players feel right at home. You'll also find bocce courts, a pool pavilion for swimming, walking and biking trails, and plenty of space to just move around outside. There's a state-of-the-art fitness center, and the fitness staff run group classes-yoga, stretching, balance, that sort of thing-which suits residents who want to exercise but not push themselves too hard. After all that activity, the spa helps folks unwind with different services, so there's something for folks who want some pampering or pain relief.
Social life is busy, with regular events, art shows, and special parties happening around the clubhouses, and there's always a meal or drink to be had at the Cabana Bar, Founders Club, or Prestwick Club. Community members often host and attend weddings, celebrations, and club-organized events in spaces that hold up to 600 guests, so bigger family gatherings or old friends meeting up aren't a problem. People curious about living here can take Discovery Tours, sometimes staying in furnished club villas to see if they like the feel of the place. Overall, Plantation Bay offers a wide assortment of activities, sports, clubs, dining choices, and ways to unwind that tend to appeal to people who want both quiet days and social time in a place that's felt established for a long time.
