The Club At Westminster

Jimmy Lynn – President of Lifestyle Management Group of Florida – has come a long way since we first met in 2011. After spending 10 years in the golf industry, running sales and marketing for the largest publisher of golf travel information in the world, I had taken a position outside of golf but was still doing a little writing about golf courses and equipment. On the occasions I was sent some equipment, I would head over to the driving range at Gateway Golf and Country Club. I had worked out a deal with then General Manager, Jimmy Lynn, mentioning his club’s facilities in those earlier articles. Our friendship grew and we ended up playing a fair amount of golf together. Life happened; Jimmy moved to a club down in Naples and I relocated to Lakeland to be closer to family.

Fast forward 12 years and we both have taken new, successful career paths. Jimmy found an investor and they created Lifestyle Management Group of Florida which owns/manages four clubs in Southwest Florida: The Club at Westminster, Quail Creek Village, Bonita Fairways, and The Club at Gateway. As a management company, LMGOF’s goal is to elevate each private club and make them relevant in every aspect of services, facilities, and finances, thus creating sustainability for the long term with elating membership.

The Club at Westminster closed the golf course and driving range in late spring of 2023 and has given it a major facelift. This included a wall-to-wall re-grassing of the entire course and practice areas with Bimini grass and completely renovating the greens, coring out the existing greens and 8-12” of dirt, and then replanting with certified Tif-Eagle grass from Georgia. The bunkers have been renovated as well along with the driving range and practice areas. The grand reopening was held this past November. The Club at Westminster is a semi-private golf course with resident & non-resident memberships.

The membership just approved a major clubhouse project which will begin in early 2024. This will include a new kitchen, open exhibition pizza kitchen, indoor/outdoor bar, covered outdoor dining, and a completely renovated interior with all-new carpet and finishes!

Lifestyle Management Group of Florida has proven to be a top-notch golf management company in SW Florida. Lynn adds “We don’t want to be a big company but only want to be truly hands-on in all things we do and partner with the clubs we manage. If you need help or just want to talk shop please call Jimmy Lynn at 813-767-3855. I’ve known Jimmy for a long time and one thing is certain, he always delivers! Good things will come from Jimmy Lynn and his staff at LMGOF.
