Calusa Country Club at Lakewood Ranch
Lennar's big bundled-golf village, condos through estate homes.
Calusa Country Club is one of the newer bundled-golf villages in Lakewood Ranch, built by Lennar. Every home comes with a club membership, golf or social, depending on the home. There are two Gordon Lewis courses here: an 18-hole championship course and a 12-hole short course, plus a putting green and an aqua driving range. You can buy a condo, a villa or a single-family home. It is one of the bigger golf villages in the master plan.

HOA and CDD fees in Calusa
On top of your mortgage and property taxes, here is what Calusa asks of you every month, and who takes care of the outside of your home.
- CDD, Calusa carries one. It is an infrastructure assessment collected on your annual property tax bill rather than on the HOA invoice, which is why it catches people by surprise. The line on your tax bill is the Lakewood Ranch Stewardship District assessment rather than a numbered community CDD. That district covers most of Lakewood Ranch, and it is why a builder can tell you there is no CDD here and still be right while an assessment arrives anyway. It usually carries two parts, one for operations and one for the bond that paid to put the infrastructure in the ground.
- What the HOA covers, the clubhouse, tennis courts, pickleball courts.
Fees shift by home type and they change year to year, so I would rather give you real numbers than a guess. Once you find a place in Calusa you love, I will pull the current estoppel and we will look at the exact figures for that home together.
