The Experience Insider

Pelican Preserve has so much to offer each resident who lives here. We have pool parties, outdoor concerts, nature walks, fitness classes, spa treatments, golf tournaments, arts and crafts classes and much, much, more! I truly enjoy being a part of the all the excitement through providing our residents with memorable, fun experiences in and outside the Club.

Speaking of outside the Club, we just completed a sprint triathlon in the beginning of September in Venice, Florida. The entire Pelican Preserve staff participated, as well as residents, family and friends. There were also several residents who came to the event just to cheer us on. We have been training all summer, so there was great anticipation of this event through our physical and mental training.

Have you participated in an event with fellow residents in your community? Do you have any questions you would like to ask about Pelican Preserve or the amenities we have here? Let me know and be sure to check back often, as you never know what adventure the residents will be on next or what happenings you will want to keep up with, or better yet join in on!

The season is upon us and the staff and I are excited to welcome back our members from up north. Our golf calendar for the season is packed with our yearly tournaments and a few new ones that we hope our members and guests will enjoy. We hosted the 32^nd Annual Pat Bradley Florida International Invitational October 26-27. Fifteen colleges from around the country participated and it was a blast. I think Pelican Preserve is fortunate to be able to open up our wonderful 27 holes of golf to be able to host such an event and provide the experience to aspiring golfers. We could not have asked for better weather and the greens were fast making it a challenge for the players.

Have you attended a Golf Invitational recently and would like to share what your experience?

Our residents continue to be awe-inspired by the natural surroundings in Pelican Preserve. With preserves, boardwalks and wildlife all around, there is always something new to explore and admire. We have decided to put together a Pelican Preserve nature calendar with photos from our residents within the community. Alan Maltz, the official wildlife photographer for the state of Florida, will act as judge to pick out the best photos for the calendar, along with notecards. All proceeds from the calendar and notecards will go towards our Crooked Garden (Butterfly Garden) to help enhance the garden’s features and keep up with the maintenance.
