Soleta Golf Club held a groundbreaking ceremony in Myakka City Dec. 4 to officially launch construction of the Nick Price Design golf course that expects to open for play in late 2024.

The 7,400-yard, par-72 course will wind through the undisturbed sanctuary-like land and will be managed for the preservation of all wetlands with no impacts to sensitive areas. Water conservation also critical, along with protecting wildlife habitat.

“It’s an honor to have the opportunity to design the golf course at Soleta,” Price said. “We’re part of a great team assembled to create a special place for golfers 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.”

The course will have a natural and open feel incorporating sand and native areas.

Planning and permitting is underway to build Soleta Golf Club, private residential club community in the greater Sarasota area.
