Venice golfing community just off Florida's Gulf Coast

Those looking for an active golf club community in a relatively secluded location on Florida’s Gulf Coast may have found their perfect cup of tee in Pelican Pointe. Though Pelican Pointe is a mere 2 miles from downtown Venice and 3 miles from the city’s beaches and boutique shops, the community enjoys a desirable inland location amid ponds, streams and protected wetlands. “It’s a beautiful, unpretentious community without the bling of Venice,” says Robert Goldman, a retired real estate lawyer who moved to the gated, semi-private community and became a Realtor with Michael Saunders & Company. As for the golf, Pelican Pointe features 27 holes that can be played separately or together in any combination. The trio of nine-hole layouts designed by famed golf course architect Ted McAnlis plays anywhere from 5,326 to 7,182 yards, and they are open to all residents. “Because it’s semi-private, you can play as a member or play as part of the public,” says Goldman. Practice facilities include 25 grass turf hitting stations and an 8,000-square-foot putting green. Lessons are available from certified teaching professionals, including Sue Powers, the 2014 LPGA National Teacher of the Year. Nearby, Nancy Lopez Golf Adventures offers lessons, clinics, camps and golf-themed vacations for women. Instructors include the facility’s namesake, an LPGA Hall of Famer.
