Plantation Golf & Country Club
Large master-planned Venice community (~2,600 homes) built around a private 36-hole club, including the Panther course; golf/clubhouse membership is optional for ownership but effectively required to use the facilities. Most sources describe it as a deed-restricted 55+ community, though this is not universally confirmed.

What to Independently Verify
Sources conflict on whether age restriction (55+) applies community-wide -- confirm with the specific neighborhood's HOA/deed restrictions. Confirm current membership tiers and fees directly with the club. This round confirmed the two 18-hole courses are named Bobcat (opened 1982) and Panther (opened 1987), both designed by Ron Garl, and that the club has hosted an LPGA Tour Qualifier event annually since 1988. Four membership categories were confirmed by name: Full, Sports and Fitness, Social, and Executive (for members 40 and under).
