Truly private country clubs are becoming rare in FL. When I had a home in Tampa, there were very few available (most were associated with a housing development) and I belonged to semi-private club.
Up in Spring Hill, I belonged to formerly private (now sem-private club), as well as another Club in Brooksville that was called "Private", but really wasn't ... you had to pay dearly to play if you were a non-member, but the public was allowed.
The only 2 I know of around TV, would be Golden Ocala and Country Club of Ocala. CC of Ocala is owned by Hampton Golf, who owns Southern Hills were I belonged to in Brooksville. They have a fairly decent Membership program, but the commute is just too far for it to be practical for me. Same with Black Diamond.
....in TV, we're stuck with public golf courses, with lousy restaurants. Oh well, we could all move to Naples and spend $150,000 to join a club and it would only cost $12,000/year for dues.
