University Park Country Club is one of the most well-established and respected guard-gated golf communities in the Bradenton-Sarasota area, featuring a unique distinction that sets it apart from virtually every comparable community in the region: it is entirely resident-owned. In 2019, the homeowners purchased the club and all its facilities, giving residents direct control over the community's future, finances, and standards. Located along University Parkway near the Lakewood Ranch border, University Park spans over 800 acres and includes more than 1,200 homes across 28 distinct neighborhoods, all centered around 27 holes of championship golf. The community attracts discerning buyers who value quality governance, established grounds, and a full-service country club lifestyle backed by member ownership.
