Black Diamond Club Community Review

by floridaforboomers on 27. Feb, 2010 in Blog

Black Diamond Club is an exclusive golfing community located in the Lecanto, Florida area of Citrus County. Located about an hour from Tampa and about an hour from Orlando, Black Diamond Ranch is approximately 35 miles southwest of Ocala which is the heart of Thoroughbred Horse Racing country in Florida.

Like many other Tampa retirement communities, perhaps the biggest allure of Black Diamond is the country club and golf courses located within the community.

Forty five Tom Fazio designed golf holes comprise the three majestically beautiful golf courses at Black Diamond Ranch. These courses have been named in the top 100 courses in the nation by Golf Digest for the past 19 years

The Quarry Course gets its name from the old limestone quarry it was built around. It’s impossible to select a favorite hole on this course, but the 14th, 15th, and 16th are carved around canyon walls and writer Dan Jenkins said they are part of the five best consecutive holes of golf anywhere in the world.

Finished in 1997, The Ranch Course with its two tiered greens and elevation changes is as challenging as it is beautiful. Tom Fazio said the 16th, 17th nd 18th “represent the three best finishing holes I have ever designed.”

You can see forever on the nine hole Highlands Course which was also completed in 1997. This 36 par course has a slope rating of 147, making it one of the most challenging courses in America. It can be played alone or in tandem with either of the other two courses at Black Diamond Ranch.

Black Diamond Ranch offers a 28,000 square foot clubhouse complete with Black Diamond pool, fitness facilities with personal trainers, restaurants, and Har-Tru Tennis Courts. Full equity memberships, social memberships, and invitational memberships are all available for the Black Diamond Club. Nothing rounds out a day of golf like an evening at the club with friends.

Homes at Black Diamond Club are beautifully designed with spacious lawns and landscaped lots in keeping with the ambiance of the development. Three and four bedroom homes with two and three car garages to golf cottages with two bedrooms range in price from the low $200,000 up to well over the million dollar mark. Both resales and new construction homes are available.
