The original gated golf village, membership-based, mature, prestigious.
The Country Club is the original gated golf village in Lakewood Ranch, anchored by the member-based Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club (36+ holes).

HOA and CDD fees in The Country Club
On top of your mortgage and property taxes, here is what The Country Club asks of you every month, and who takes care of the outside of your home.
- CDD, The Country Club 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 Country Club has a real numbered district rather than the Stewardship District, and which one depends on where in the village you are. The older sections sit in Lakewood Ranch Community Development District 2, much of the rest in District 5, and a handful of the newer streets in District 6. That is worth pinning down for a specific address, because the amounts differ.
- Lawn and exterior upkeep, this one depends on which neighbourhood you land in. Some inside The Country Club are maintenance free and some are not, so it is worth pinning down for the specific address. The Country Club is large and mixed. A good number of its neighbourhoods are maintenance free and a good number are not, so this is one to check per street.
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 The Country Club you love, I will pull the current estoppel and we will look at the exact figures for that home together.
