Windsor’s Serengeti
ON NEWSSTANDS T h e W i n d s o r h o m e o f Ly n n e a n d To n y Zande graced the cover of the February issue of Coastal Living magazine. It was the second Windsor home to be featured in the popular lifestyle publication in as many months. T he D e cemb e r/Janua r y ma ga zine s to r y showcas ed a traditional Winds o r home, l o c a t e d a t 3 315 O a t L a n e , w hi c h i s c u r r e n t l y o f f e r e d f o r $ 2 , 6 25 , 0 0 0 . The recent cover story is an eight-page s p r e a d t h a t s h o w s o f f t h e Z a n d e ’s b r e e z y island-inspired home; it was designed b y Ve r o B e a c h a r c h i t e c t C l e m e n s “ C l e m ” Bruns Schaub. The magazine feature highlights the h o m e ’s i n d o o r- o u t d o o r c o n n e c t i o n , which was achieved through the use of a variety of elements employed in British Colonial architecture such as wide two-story porches and tall windows. The main living area is an open-air pavilion connected to the house by covered breezeways.
Windsor is a seaside sporting community with a variety of activities, from equestrian to tennis, but golf is “a focal point of the w a y a l o t o f p e o p l e s p e n d t h e i r d a y, ” s a y s D e w e y A r n e t t e , W i n d s o r ’s d i r e c t o r o f g o l f .
“The Zandes are both very outdoorsoriented,” Schaub says. “They love golf a n d t h e y l o v e t o e n t e r t a i n c a s u a l l y. ” The interiors were designed by Ashley Wa d d e l l a n d C o u r t n e y W h a t l e y o f O l i v i a O ’ B r y a n , I n c . i n Ve r o B e a c h .
The greens at Windsor feature an undulating panorama of native trees that border gentle rolling fairways, unobstructed by houses. I t ’s a s p l e n d o r m a t c h e d o n l y b y t h e c h a l l e n g e and unique subtleties of the course.
“The Zandes wanted a beachy look but they were very traditional and did not w a n t a n y m o d e r n t o u c h e s , ” Wa d d e l l s a y s . “ I t ’s a s o p h i s t i c a t e d b e a c h h o u s e b u t v e r y l a i d b a c k a n d c a s u a l . We u s e d greens and blues, muted colors. It was a really fun project.”
D e s i g n e d b y R o b e r t Tr e n t J o n e s J r. , t h e 18-hole links style course at Windsor is a masterpiece in traditional golf course a r c h i t e c t u r e . T h e p a r 7 2 c o u r s e ’s n u a n c e s are appreciated more and more with every round played. “The course is visually gorgeous,” Arnette says. “It was beautifully designed (and) i t ’s b e a u t i f u l l y m a i n t a i n e d . T h e c o u r s e c a n be as challenging as you want or as golffriendly as you want.” Golfers sometimes remark that, in the afternoon, the course reminds them of East Africa, he says, adding, “And it certainly looks like the Hamptons.” Members can enjoy an exciting schedule of golf tournaments and activities each season including the Wilmot Cup parent-child e v e n t a n d t h e M i x e d M e m b e r- G u e s t e v e n t . There is also a full schedule of informative weekly clinics, club fittings and demo days, and the twilight golf series. Golfers often share the course with their children, grandchildren and even sometimes their dogs, Arnette says.
“ I t ’s w a l k i n g f r i e n d l y, i t ’s f a m i l y f r i e n d l y, i t ’s p e t f r i e n d l y, ” h e s a y s . “ O n e o f t h e things we’ve tried to do is to maintain an a t m o s p h e r e o f g o l f t h a t ’s n o t o v e r- l e g i s l a t e d with a lot of rules.” The Club has a professional golf shop as well as a 400-yard long driving range and a 6,000-square-foot outdoor practice putting green. Personal golf instruction is available by one of the several golf professionals on staff. “ We ’ v e g o t a v e r y n i c e s t a f f t h a t d o e s n ’ t mind working,” Arnette says. “We take care of a lot of things Members might n e e d . We w a n t p e o p l e t o f e e l a t h o m e , not like they’ve gone to the golf course. The golf course (here) is the extension of your backyard.”
