Graham named Champions’ Club landscape
architect
TRINITY, FLA. – Phil Graham & Co. has been selected as landscape
architect for The Champions’ Club, a private, gated golf-course community
situated around the 18-hole championship golf course at Fox Hollow Golf Club
in southwest Pasco County.
The firm will design the community’s main entrance and all gated village
entrances in The Champions’ Club using native and drought-resistant species
of trees and bushes, says Dan Aldridge, vice president of Adam Smith
Enterprises Inc., the community’s developer. Graham also will provide
landscape designs for the community’s welcome center as well as the
$2-million,10,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style clubhouse.
Founded by Philip H. Graham Jr. in St. Petersburg in 1967, Phil Graham &
Co. has completed nearly 3,000 projects along Florida’s Gulf Coast, and has
won numerous local, regional and state awards. One of the firm’s best-known
Tampa Bay-area designs is the 900-foot-long Sunsation ceramic-tile mosaic
walkway – one of the world’s largest tile mosaics – outside Tropicana Field
in St. Petersburg. It also worked on Baywalk in St. Petersburg.
Graham is a registered landscape architect, a certified land planner and
a fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects. He was appointed
by Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to serve on the state’s seven-member Board of
Landscape Architecture.
More than half of the 368 homesites in The Champions’ Club will border
the golf course, while many others will overlook lakes or heavily wooded
conservation areas. Fox Hollow Golf Club opened in 1994. Its course is the
last one designed and built by world-renowned golf course architect Robert
Trent Jones Sr. The Tampa Tribune has rated Fox Hollow as one of the
top-three courses in the Tampa Bay area. Fox Hollow has hosted several USGA
and Senior PGA qualifying tournaments.
The Champions’ Club will comprise seven Mediterranean-themed villages.
Homes in some villages must provide at least 2,700 square feet of living
space, while other villages require homes with a minimum of 3,500 square
feet of living space. Residential pricing will range from the $400s to more
than $2 million including homesite.
Homes in The Champions’ Club will be built by some of the best-known home
builders in the Tampa Bay area. Land work is slated for completion early
this spring, while new-home construction should begin by next month.
The Champions’ Club clubhouse will provide a lounge, dining room, fully
equipped fitness center, his-and-her locker facilities, a resort-style pool;
sun deck, and tennis courts.
The Champions’ Club adjoins the $1.5 billion master-planned community of
Trinity. One of the largest communities of its kind in the Tampa Bay area,
Trinity also is being developed by Adam Smith Enterprises.
