Soleta Golf Club has broken ground on its highly-anticipated Nick Price Design golf course that expects to open for play in late 2024 in Myakka City, FL.
According to Managing Partner and developer, David Turner, the The Soleta project, in addition to the golf course, will feature David Leadbetter’s 30-acre “Field of Dreams” signature practice facility.
The 7,400 yard, par-72 Soleta Golf Club course is routed separately from the location of the planned 93 luxury residences and many other amenities. Holes will wind through the undisturbed sanctuary-like land and of great importance is the commitment to the preservation of all Southwest Florida’s wetlands with absolutely no impacts to these sensitive areas.
Water conservation also is a critical issue, as is the enhancement of wildlife habitat and sound environmental stewardship. Price’s courses focus on the art of strategy and his designs embody a handcrafted approach that requires a significant investment of personal hours overseeing details from start to finish.
“It’s an honor to have the opportunity to design the golf course at Soleta,” said Price, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame. “We’re part of a great team assembled to create a special place to play, spend time with friends and have fun.
“The property has wetlands, uplands, open grassland and some great trees. We’ve laid out the golf course to take advantage and incorporate those natural features into the design of holes. Importantly, no wetlands will be impacted or eliminated anywhere on the property. These natural elements will be part of what gives the golf course its natural look and feel.”
According to Price, the golf course will have a natural and open feel incorporating sand and native areas. Course conditions will be firm and fast and challenge golfers with a variety of shot making choices.
Leadbetter’s “Field of Dreams,” grounds will contain different grasses, a variety of greens and elevation changes to help players fine tune their games to be tournament ready. In addition to the expansive outdoor practice areas, the indoor center will include a state-of-the-art biomechanics studio, club fitting, a putting studio, simulators and other advanced training technologies.
Three exclusive enclaves (The Sanctuary, The Ranch and Village Bungalows) will accommodate the 93 custom built luxury residences. Two celebrated builders, John Cannon Homes and Anchor Builders, will design the perfect lifestyle retreat. One-acre plus estates will be available. Each home site is located within one mile of the clubhouse. Additionally, 14 club cottages will be reserved for members and guests.
A limited number of National Golf memberships, in addition to Full Golf, Sports and Social categories, are available now.
