Meandering through the vast system of tidal creeks and estuaries of North Florida’s intercoastal waterways, Marsh Landing provides its members with premium services and amenities. The Club sits in a gated community comprising more than 1,100 homes. Along with its top-rated 18-hole championship golf course, the Club features 10 lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, a large fitness facility and a resort-style pool.
In 2022, Concert Golf Partners completed its 28th private club acquisition (its seventh in the past 12 months), with the purchase of Marsh Landing Country Club. Founded in 1986, the renowned Jacksonville developer, Chester Stokes, created the Marsh Landing community, comprising more than 1,100 homes within the gated community, and anchored by a highly rated Ed Seay (Arnold Palmer) designed golf course.
Greg Neal, President of the Master Association (which governs the 10+ sub-HOAs) described the complexities that the residents faced, and their desire to have an expert like Concert Golf Partners at the helm well into the future. “We needed a solution to a complex situation. We had to identify an owner-operator that 1,100+ homeowners could rally behind and collaborate with to ensure a bright future for our community. Less than one-third of our residents were club members, so we had to be creative… Concert Golf worked with us to develop a solution that delivers value to every resident–not just club members who would benefit from the millions of dollars of improvements to the country club.
We reviewed every conceivable alternative, including months of interviewing several top owner-operators and management companies should the HOA have exercised its right to purchase the club. After much deliberation, we presented the Concert Golf proposal to our community, and the answer was a resounding, ‘YES,’ with a strong 92% of the 800 homeowners who participated, a voting turnout record.”
