Waterlefe Golf and River Club
Waterlefe Golf and River Club is a gated golf community located northwest of Bradenton Florida. Designed by Ted McAnlis, this 18-hole, championship course spans 6,908 yards on fairways spread throughout the conservation areas and along side the Manatee River. As well as a championship course, Waterlefe also features a wet driving range where you drive floating golf balls into one of the lakes on the community, this certainly provides an entertaining way to practice your swing!
The River Club features exceptional dining, banquet facilities, fitness room, swimming pool and tiki bar. The Pointe is a relaxing retreat where residents can enjoy a picnic along the scenic Manatee River. The lookout tower at the Pointe provides some spectacular views of the surrounding area and far down the Manatee River. For the river craft enthusiast you'll definitely want to check out the marina and private boat docks. Fifty-nine slips line the Manatee River providing access to some of the best fishing opportunities in this estuary. The Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay is accessible from the marina but you better plan a day of it, Waterlefe is 15 miles inland!
Membership initiation fees have been temporarily waived and now you can join Waterlefe for the cost of the monthly dues. This makes joining the Waterlefe Golf Club too good of a deal to pass up if you are looking for a new course to advance your golf skills.
The real estate in the community is extremely diverse and unique for the area. Builders from around the country have come to Waterlefe during its construction and have created properties that break the Florida mold. An eclectic mix of Mediterranean and California designs mixed together to create some very interesting properties. Add this to the waterfront theme of stone and wood bridges intermixed within the neighborhood and you have a community reminiscent of a modern English waterfront hamlet or a quiet Venetian village along the Adriatic Sea.
Perhaps this is why Waterlefe attracts more English and European residents of any other golf community in the Sarasota-Manatee area. A stroll through the neighborhood on a comfortable December evening could confuse you and make you think you are living across the pond when you hear all the cheerful British accents. Don't be so surprised to be invited to a community BBQ and be offered some authentic Yorkshire pudding!
Home prices in Waterlefe begin at 0,000 for a townhouse style home with a garage to nearly million for a home in the higher end gated enclave. Waterlefe homes for sale are so diverse that you really need to look at the current listings to appreciate the diversity of this community.
