Welcome to Carrollwood
Overview
Carrollwood, Tampa, was founded in 1959 and was built out in the 1960s. The community grew westward during the 1970s and 1980s. The Carrollwood boundaries include Lake Magdalene to the north, Tampa to the east, Egypt Lake to the south, and Carrollwood Village to the west.
Many homebuyers will look at Original Carrollwood Tampa homes for sale as well as homes for sale in Carrollwood Village during their property search in the Tampa Bay area. The area is growing rapidly with new homes being built as well as new businesses and shopping centers being added continually.
CARROLLWOOD COUNTRY CLUB
Along with the development of the housing community in Carrollwood was the development of a 27-hole golf course, the Carrollwood Village Golf and Country Club. This course entertained some Senior PGA tournaments in the 1980s. The club changed names three times – first to the Country Club of Carrollwood in 2001, then to Emerald Greens Golf Resort & Country Club in 2003, then to Carrollwood Country Club in 2013. As Emerald Greens, all holes on the course were renovated or redesigned, a new club house and recreation center were built, along with Condos, Vacation Villas, resurfaced tennis courts and a new pool area. The name changed to Carrollwood Country Club to preserve the original history of the club, opening in the 1970s.
