Behind the ivy clad walls and private gates of The Founders Club are thirteen exclusive home sites set aside for the distinguished Golf Cottages. Idyllically located in Colonel’s Court, a maintenance-free neighborhood, The Golf Cottages provide prominent golf course positioning on the lush 10th fairway of the masterfully designed Robert Trent Jones, Jr. golf course.

The thirteen Cottages are uniquely designed with no two elevations being the same, creating a charming streetscape. Offering an array of floor plans each designed to maximize the awe-inspiring vistas, the Cottages express a harmonious architectural style that is compelling and sophisticated. Designed by Cooper Johnson Smith Architects of Tampa, the Cottages carry through an enchanting design theme that showcases refined materials and finish selections, resulting in a distinguished yet comforting ambiance. The Golf Cottage designs also enhance the integration of the surrounding exterior living spaces through the use of sweeping porches, fenced gardens, and refreshing pool areas. French doors open throughout to allow for cooling breezes and abundant natural light.

Both model homes are elegantly finished with detailed moldings, dramatic ceiling treatments, imported granites and marbles, custom shutters, and exquisite hard wood floors. Gourmet kitchens showcase shaker style painted cabinetry, professional appliances and Moen Showhouse fixtures. The master suites incorporate expansive walk-in closets with custom cabinetry and well-appointed morning bars. The majestic baths are beautifully finished in lavish polished marble and Kohler fixtures. Vast interior spaces gently flow into one another while the surrounding natural landscape is graciously integrated through transitioning open outdoor living areas. Magnificent aged bricks, cozy fireplaces and functional summer kitchens create year-round outdoor living opportunities.

A separate guest cabana creates an impressive and secluded guest retreat toward the front of the residence. While the rear of the home is utilized for casual outdoor entertaining with an authentic brick terrace, outdoor kitchen, gathering area with fireplace and fenced garden overlooking the breathtaking golf course.
