For Both Sarasota Waterfront and Golf - Whitfield Estates

One of Sarasota's nicest bay side communities, only minutes from downtown Whitfield Estates offers both waterfront and golf course homes. Established back in the 1920's, Whitfield estate was the first Sarasota golfing community built along the fairways of what is now the Sara Bay Country Club just north of Sarasota, with Sarasota mailing addresses, yet actually located right on the southern edge of Manatee County. Real estate was booming when Donald Ross, the foremost golf-course architect of the 1920's, designed the golf course for Whitfield Estates Country Club (now known as the Sara Bay Country Club). Famous golfer Bobby Jones was hired to promote sales. Residents of Whitfield Estate / Sara Bay Country club enjoy proximity to the attractions of both Sarasota and Bradenton FL as well as convenient access to the municipal airport.

Whitfield Estates offers a wide variety of Spanish-Mediterranean and Old-Florida ranch-style homes, in a various sizes to meet the needs of young families, young professionals, and active retirees. Says, Andree Huffine, a frequent shower of Sarasota homes for sale in Whitfield Estate, "this uniquely private yet comfortable community offers homes on the golf course in the $150,000 to $400,000 range, but homes on the canal begin in the low $200,000 range and rise to over $3 million for new bayfront homes."

Members of Sara Bay Country Club enjoy the unique combination of heritage, camaraderie, and an exceptional golfing experience. Features which set Sara Bay apart are: pace of play (rounds rarely take more than four hours), the course is very walker-friendly and walking is unrestricted, conditioning, the course is consistently in excellent condition. "I just love the Sara Bay golf course. Where else can you play golf with an ocean view," commented Janet Dugan, a avid golfer and frequent seller of Sarasota golf course homes
