Prestancia

Welcome to Prestancia

Old World Charm and Sophisticated Amenities
Serene Luxury, Country Club Lifestyle


PRESTANCIA, meaning “excellence” in “Old World” Spanish and “distinctive” in English, is one of those luxurious, yet unpretentious golf communities that carries its grandeur with understated grace. It is an exclusive, gated enclave with 497 exquisite single-family estate homes, maintenance-free villas, and multi-level condominiums, all threaded throughout 565 stunning and peaceful acres. Two TPC (Tournament Players Club) championship golf courses and clubhouse are the crowning jewel of the property, while lakes and meticulously maintained green spaces provide a home to many wildlife species in this Audubon-sanctioned and certified sanctuary. Residents, with their golf course, and water or preserve views, cherish the careful design that brings together this blend of nature and elegance. The community was awarded The Best Golf Course Community Award in the 2011 Reader’s Choice Awards presented by the Sarasota Herald Tribune.

A magnificently carved stone fountain welcomes residents and their guests; lush and colorful tropical landscaping and Mediterranean-influenced architecture await inside the gate. A massive 35,000sf Clubhouse boasts a pro golf shop, changing rooms, several dining options, bar services, banquet facilities, heated pool and spa, and expansive patios. Prestancia residents are community-oriented, and actively participate in the many Member clubs, or enjoy activities such as yoga classes, book clubs, and culinary events.

Homeowners at Prestancia may choose to enroll as either Golf or Social members, the latter at a lower fee structure. Reciprocal benefits for the Golfing Members have been arranged at the Serendipity Racquet Club—Members take full advantage of the 19 Har-Tru tennis courts, a large community pool, and a well-equipped fitness center. In sum, there are multiple opportunities to form a community, meet new friends, and socialize in this relaxed and well-managed environment.

Prestancia is ideally situated, too. On Palmer Ranch Parkway West and Beneva Road, homeowners at Prestancia are near the Gulf of Mexico, beautiful, white sand beaches, downtown Sarasota, fine dining, boutique shopping, art galleries, and performance spaces/theaters for music, opera, ballet, headline performers, and more. Excellent medical facilities and a short drive to the Sarasota International Airport are additional benefits of this location. It is also in the A-rated Sarasota County School District, consistently ranked in the top 100 in the United States. Intellectually gifted students may choose to attend The Pine View School (part of the public school system) from the second grade to senior year.

More about the TPC Prestancia Golf Courses:
TPC Prestancia is a member of the Tournament Players Club Network, itself a subsidiary of the PGA TOUR. The network was founded to create and maintain facilities that matched the PGA’s Tour's highest quality for tournaments/events and work to meet stringent environmental standards that help preserve and protect wildlife habitats on or adjacent to the course and facilities.

Developed in 1985, TPC Prestancia was created specifically to host the PGA Senior Tour and has been frequented by golf greats Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Gary Player, and Chi Chi Rodriguez. In addition to the 13 years hosting the Senior Tour, it has hosted eight Chrysler Club Championships and five American Express Invitational Championships.

There are two 18-hole courses at TPC Prestancia, which can be played together.

The Championship Stadium Course is a Member and Guest favorite with its undulating greens. Designed by Ron Garl and TOUR player, Mike Souchak, this course has extensive landing areas that allow for gallery viewing along the expansive fairways.

The classic Players Course, formerly part of the Country Club of Sarasota, was designed by the legendary golf architect, Robert Van Hagge. Distinguishing features include grand oaks, tree lines, doglegs, and carry-over water.

There are also many opportunities to perfect one’s game; In addition to clinics with golf pros, there is a driving range with 24 hitting stations, a private lesson area, and chipping, pitching, and putting greens. Of special note: A TPC Prestancia Golf Member has privileges at any of the 30 TPC network courses in the United States and beyond.
