Maple Leaf Golf & Country Club is Charlotte County's premier 285-acre, 24/7 guard-gated HOPA 55+ resident-owned cooperative (RO) golf and country club community of 1,112 homes, located at 2100 Kings Highway in Port Charlotte, Florida (ZIP 33980, just south of the Interstate 75 Exit 170 interchange). Incorporated on June 19, 1985 and governed under the Florida Cooperative Act (Florida Statutes Chapter 719) by resident-controlled non-profit Maple Leaf Estates Homeowners' Corporation (Florida Sunbiz Non-Profit Doc# N09866, FEI/EIN #59-2649309, Active), Maple Leaf differs fundamentally from corporate land-lease parks: every buyer receives an ownership share certificate in the entire 285-acre corporation along with a 99-year proprietary lease on their homesite, eliminating investor lot-rent escalations.

Because cooperative share ownership with a 99-year proprietary lease is recognized as real property equity in Florida, full-time primary residents of Maple Leaf Golf & Country Club qualify to file with the Charlotte County Property Appraiser (Paul L. Polk, CFA — 18500 Murdock Cir, Bldg B, Ste 108, Port Charlotte, FL 33948 & 410 Taylor St, Punta Gorda, FL 33950) for Florida's $50,000 Homestead Exemption, the 3% Save Our Homes assessment cap and portability, the Additional $50,000 Senior Homestead Exemption (ages 65+ meeting household AGI limits), and F.S. 196.081 / 196.082 disabled veteran property tax exemptions. Community amenities include a picturesque 18-hole, par-62 executive golf course and pro shop (941-629-1666), four heated swimming pools and whirlpool spas, five Har-Tru clay tennis courts, dedicated lighted pickleball courts, lawn bowling, shuffleboard, bocce ball, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a master woodworking shop, ceramics and Lapidary studios, two on-site dining venues (The Country Club Restaurant & Bar and The Sandbar lakeside tiki bar), and more than 75 active resident clubs. Situated at 2100 Kings Highway, Maple Leaf sits just 1.8 miles northeast of HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital (21298 Olean Blvd), 2.5 miles north of ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte (2500 Harbor Blvd), and 4.5 miles from the Port Charlotte VA Clinic (4161 Tamiami Trail), with Charlotte County Transit (941-575-4000) serving the Kings Highway corridor.
