Talk to a Specialist →Tara Golf and Country Club is a 1,844-home age-targeted golf community in Bradenton, built between 1989 and 2006. Resale-only. Golf membership is a Class A mandatory membership tied to the deed — unlike River Strand where golf is included in HOA, Tara buyers purchase a Class A membership that transfers with the home and carries its own ongoing dues.
The 18-hole Ron Garl-designed course is the community anchor. The Tara Preserve Golf Course (18 holes) is also adjacent. Homes range from affordable condos at $163K to estate single-family homes approaching $900K. The mandatory membership structure is the key distinction buyers must understand before purchasing.
Tara’s Class A membership is attached to every home deed. It is not optional. When you buy a home at Tara, you buy the membership. When you sell, you sell the membership with the home. The membership carries monthly dues separate from the HOA fee. This is different from communities where golf is included in the HOA — at Tara the golf dues are a separate line item.
For golfers, the mandatory membership delivers value — unlimited golf and full club facilities. For non-golfers, the mandatory dues are a real added cost with no option to opt out. Verify the current Class A membership dues before making an offer.
