SouthWood Golf Club for sale

The SouthWood Golf Club is for sale. 

The club and its 18-hole course were listed last month by real estate agent Hilda W. Allen. 

Allen said the listed asking price for the course is $2.5 million. 

The course, originally owned by the St. Joe Company and built in 2002, wasn't generating enough revenue, said SouthWood Community Development District Chair David Ramba.

The par 72, 7,172-yard course was designed by the duo of Fred Couples and Gene Bates.

Ramba confirmed the course is for sale and expressed a desire to avoid "another Killearn situation."

Barton Tuck, the owner of Killearn County Club, in 2014 closed one of the golf course's three nine-hole layouts in order to sell it for redevelopment to generate $4 million to $5 million to renovate the course's 50-year-old country club.

The current plan for the Killearn course, known as The Narrows, is to turn it into a 133-home, age-restricted community. 

"We're in talks to ensure that nobody is trying to change the land-use component and that (SouthWood) stays as a golf course," Ramba said. 

The Tallahassee Democrat reached out the SouthWood Golf Club General Manager Jason Bench, who had no comment.

According to the club’s website, the semi-private facility offers resident memberships in individual and family categories for those who live in the SouthWood community, located southeast of downtown Tallahassee off Capital Circle. 

The annual dues for an individual is $2,388; a family $2,988.

The facility also offers non-resident memberships.
