Myakka City, Florida lit up with excitement on December 10, 2024, as the newly minted Soleta Golf Club, designed by the legendary Nick Price, swung open its doors to the public. If you’ve been waiting for a top-tier golfing experience near Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch, this place promises to be a game-changer!
The grand opening was anything but ordinary. Celebrities from the golf world came together for a ribbon-cutting ceremony that featured a jaw-dropping opening tee shot hit by Hall of Fame golfer Nick Price himself. This wasn’t just about cutting ribbons; it was about creating a whole new experience for golf lovers. “We knew we were getting a stunning championship course with Nick at the helm,” said developer David Turner, who also serves as the club’s managing partner. He couldn’t be more thrilled, noting that the project was completed in just 11 months.
The Soleta Golf Club spans an impressive 7,400 yards and comes with a par-72 layout that provides challenges and fun for golfers of all skill sets. It’s well thought-out, with a separate routing from the 93 luxury residences planned for the area. The holes meander through breathtaking sanctuary-like land, ensuring nature lovers can revel in the surroundings.
One of the club’s standout features is its commitment to environmental preservation. Turner emphasized that there were absolutely no impacts on wetlands during construction, which is a big deal folks! The developers worked hard to improve not just the golfing experience but also the wildlife habitat in and around the course. Water conservation was another priority, reflecting a strong commitment to sound environmental stewardship.
Nick Price is all about strategy and meticulous detail, putting in countless hours to craft a truly unique golfing experience. “It was an honor to design the golf course at Soleta,” he stated, highlighting how the natural features like wetlands, uplands, and open grasslands played a vital role in the course’s design. He was specific; no wetlands were harmed or compromised, ensuring the natural elements shine through and give the course its distinctive character.
But that’s not all; the club offers a 30-acre David Leadbetter signature practice facility and indoor performance center to get your game on point. Renowned golf instructor Leadbetter, who has coached multiple champions, shed light on the carefully crafted practice grounds designed to prepare golfers for the big leagues. We’re talking different grass varieties, various greens, and elevation changes that fine-tune your skills to become tournament-ready!
Golfers can also look forward to a unique 9-hole walking course called The Colt, slated to open in Spring 2025. This will give everyone an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery without the pressure of a full round.
And for those thinking about permanent digs, the Soleta Golf Club is planning three exclusive residential enclaves dubbed The Sanctuary, The Ranch, and Village Bungalows. Designed by celebrated builders John Cannon Homes and Anchor Builders, these custom-built luxury residences will sit on one-acre-plus estates, all within a mile of the clubhouse!
So, whether you’re a golf aficionado or just someone looking for a bit of leisure, Soleta Golf Club is shaping up to be one of Florida’s finest golf experiences—one that’s *not to be missed!*
