In the picturesque town of Myakka City, Florida, excitement is in the air as the Soleta Golf Club officially opened its doors. This highly anticipated golf course, designed by the legendary Nick Price, held a media event that buzzed with energy. With a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the heart of the celebration and a ceremonial first tee shot struck by Price himself, it was a day to remember.
According to David Turner, the Managing Partner and developer of the project, the journey to get the Soleta course up and running was nothing short of remarkable. The team completed this beautiful private course in just 11 months. Turner emphasized, “We knew that in selecting Nick as our designer we’d get a stunning championship course that would be enjoyable for all members.” And it seems that he was right, because the finished product is already turning heads.
The Soleta Golf Club measures an impressive 7,400 yards and boasts a par of 72. What makes this course unique is its careful layout that embraces the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The holes wind through what can only be described as a sanctuary-like setting while maintaining respect for all wetlands on the property.
Price made it clear that environmental preservation was a top priority: “Importantly, no wetlands were impacted or eliminated anywhere on the property.” With a focus on water conservation and enhancing wildlife habitats, Soleta Golf Club is a prime example of how **golf** and **nature can coexist harmoniously**.
As Price elaborated on the course design, he described it as a handcrafted experience that demands both strategy and skill. “We laid out the golf course to take advantage and incorporate those natural features into the design of holes,” he said. Players can expect a layout that challenges them with a variety of shot-making choices, all while enjoying the firm and fast course conditions.
But wait, there’s more! Renowned instructor David Leadbetter also joined the festivities to unveil his impressive practice and indoor performance facility. This state-of-the-art complex will include a biomechanics studio, club fitting services, simulators, and other advanced training technologies. “The facility will help players fine-tune their games to be tournament-ready,” Leadbetter explained. It sounds like something every golfer will want to take advantage of!
For those looking to call Soleta Golf Club home, the plans are just as exciting. There will be 93 luxury residences, all nestled within exclusive enclaves such as The Sanctuary, The Ranch, and Village Bungalows. These homes promise to be a lifestyle retreat, with custom designs from reputable builders including John Cannon Homes and Anchor Builders.
One-acre plus estates will be available, all conveniently located within a mile of the clubhouse, making it easy for residents to play a quick eighteen. Additionally, 14 club cottages will be available for members and guests. It’s everything you could dream of in a golf community!
As if that weren’t enough, the club is also set to open a walking-only 9-hole short course called The Colt in Spring 2025. This will surely add another layer of enjoyment for all who visit. With the Soleta Golf Club now open, golfers and nature lovers alike can look forward to an unmatched experience in the beautiful Florida landscape.
With so much to offer, it sure seems like the Soleta Golf Club is poised to become the next big name in golf, and we can’t wait to see what’s next on the horizon!
