The Country Club:
With all the options of communities in Lakewood Ranch, we chose the Esplanade Golf & Country Club because we found so much to love here. Its a smaller more exclusive community, with all the amenities of the more populated places. The gated entry assures you feel as safe as could be. All of the onsite amenities are for the sole use and enjoyment of the residents and guests. Starting with the 3 swimming pool options available. My favorite is the main pool located next to the golf clubhouse. Here you will find lots of comfortable seating available, umbrellas, cabanas and a welcoming pool that’s large enough to rarely feel crowded.
Too chilly to take a swim? A little sore from todays round of Golf? Hop into the hot tub and relax.
Here you will also find an on site spa, that offers everything from pedicures, facials, to full body massage and everything in between.
If your feeling any guilt at all from all this relax & refresh there is an on site gym, I will have to believe my neighbors that it’s a wonderful place to work out, as I have personally never felt the need to do so when I’m on my vacation time!
If you didn’t pack a cooler, remember the adjoining TIKI bar is not just convenient ( slip on your sandals & a coverup) but offers some delicious food and drink options. You will enjoy being treated to the service that comes with being in a country club setting.
There are also two other pools on site that offer a quieter visit, if that’s more to your liking.
On site dining is also available at the Barrel Bistro & Dodeci 951
The activities:
Lets start with the biggest draw- the Golf Course! STUNNING, We may be partial, but we truly believe Esplanade Golf & Country Club has the BEST greens keeping team in Lakewood ranch! Multiple golfers in your family? Wonderful! You will have a link to schedule and set up your tee times, and the club does offer rental clubs based on availability. Only one golfer?
