Whitfield Estates - Sara Bay Golf Country Club
Waterfront and Golf Course Living All in One
An unusual Sarasota area community only minutes from downtown, Whitfield Estates, a diverse and historic neighborhood, offers both waterfront and golf course homes. Established in the 1920's, Whitfield estate was the first Sarasota golf and waterfront community built along the fairways of what is now the SaraBay Country Club just north of Sarasota. It is actually
just over the line in Bradenton in Manatee County.
Whitfield Estates is truly a unique neighborhood because here you can keep your boat directly behind your home and walk just across the street to play golf.
During the 1920's real estate boom, Donald Ross, the foremost golf-course architect of the time, designed the golf course for Whitfield Estates Country Club (now known as SaraBay). Famous golfer Bobby Jones was hired to promote sales. Residents of Whitfield Estates & SaraBay Country club enjoy
close proximity to the attractions of both Sarasota and Bradenton as well as convenient access to the local airport.
Members of SaraBay Country Club enjoy the heritage and camaraderie, as well as an outstanding golf experience. The Sara Bay golf course is very walker-friendly and walking is unrestricted, and, the course is consistently in excellent condition.
The Whitfield Estates and Sara Bay community features Spanish-Mediterranean and Florida ranch style homes, in a wide variety of sizes to meet the needs of young families, young professionals, and active retirees.
This quite private community offers homes on the golf course in the $150,000 to $400,000 range, while prices on canal-front homes can rise to over $3 million for the newer homes.
