Additional Bent Tree Neighborhood Information
All homes are built within the Bent Tree Golf Course, a private golf club located in Sarasota just east of I-75 on Proctor Road. Many residents enjoy golf course views, lake views, or preserve views. One great feature of Bent Tree are the larger-than-average lot sizes. Many lots extend 1 acre or larger in size, giving residents more privacy from neighboring homes compared to similar communities in the area.
Membership to the Bent Tree Golf Course is not mandatory, however all residents in the community do receive a social membership allowing them access to the golf course restaurant. Thereโs a nice mix of residents living in Bent Tree, ranging from younger families to empty-nesters.
Bent Tree is a great location, close the shopping centers, restaurants, and only 25 minutes to downtown Sarasota. It is only 1 mile east of I-75, so itโs still just a short drive to the culture and arts, and world class beaches of Sarasota. If you are looking for an affordable and beautiful gated golf course community in Sarasota, I highly recommend checking out Bent Tree.
