Country Club at Lakewood Ranch, often referred to as Country Club or simply CCW, is one of Lakewood Ranch's original luxury communities. This guard-gated neighborhood features executive and estate homes, mature landscaping, and a traditional country club setting. Depending on the neighborhood, home prices generally range from the upper $500,000s to well over $2 million.
Country Club is made up of several distinct neighborhoods, offering everything from maintenance-free villas and condominiums to custom estate homes. That variety gives buyers more options than many single-builder communities while maintaining a well-established feel throughout.
Country Club has an established feel that's different from many of Lakewood Ranch's newer neighborhoods. The trees and landscaping have had years to mature, and the homes vary in size and architectural style rather than looking alike. Throughout the community you'll find executive homes, custom homes, and estate properties, with many overlooking golf courses, lakes, or preserves.
The neighborhood was built around the Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club, so it's common to find homes overlooking one of the golf courses, lakes, or preserves.
Country Club is a guard-gated community built around the Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club. While many buyers assume living here automatically includes club privileges, that's not the case. Golf, tennis, pickleball, fitness facilities, dining, and The Lodge are part of the private club and require membership.
Country Club is also made up of several smaller neighborhoods, each with its own HOA. Some include amenities such as a community pool, while others do not.
Another common point of confusion is Country Club East. Although the two communities are neighbors, they're completely separate. Country Club East has its own HOAs and neighborhood amenities, and residents don't automatically have access to The Lodge. Likewise, Country Club residents don't have access to Country Club East's amenity centers.
Buyers compare Country Club and Country Club East all the time. Before deciding between the two, it's worth understanding what comes with the home, what belongs to the individual HOA, and what requires a Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club membership.
I focus on Bradenton real estate, helping buyers and sellers navigate the local market with confidence. I also work with clients in nearby areas like Palmetto, Parrish, and Sarasota -when that’s where the right fit is.
