The project, being built on the former Apopka Golf & Tennis Club, is expected to break ground this summer and take about five years to build. The community is expected to include 261 homes, an 18-hole golf course, clubhouse, Staghorn Club and Lodge with 40s, a water park, and a senior campus.

Signature H Property Group has proposed transforming the property into a resort named Staghorn Golf Club and Lodge. Plans include redesigning the golf course, building a 15,000-sq. ft. clubhouse with underground cart barn and dining outlets, constructing a small lodge or boutique hotel with a fitness center, spa and daycare, and adding a water park with a lazy river.

Club and resort properties are encouraged to educate staff about the wildly popular smartphone game, and implement consistent policies for on-site game play. Properties located within 40 meters of an in-game landmark are likely to see the most foot traffic, and those interested in permitting play can encourage use by creating a map of nearby Pokéstops and Pokémon gyms, and offering a contest or perk to members and guests.

The staff at Apopka (Fla.) Golf & Tennis at Errol Estate discovered tire tracks on the golf course’s fairways overnight, clearly making several stops, and concluded the driver was chasing Pokémon. The augment-reality game, which encourages players to go outside and visit specific locations to progress, has become a global phenomenon since its release late last week.

The property has racked up a $170,000 water bill since 2013, and will clear the debt by giving the city its fourth hole, the product of months of negotiations. The city plans to create a neighborhood park out of the 11-acre parcel.
