Fairway Lakes is where Grasslands keeps its trophy homes — 79 single-family residences at the clubhouse end of the community, wrapped around the golf course and the lakes, including Winged Foot Drive, the estate row local buyers ask about by name. If you want the biggest homes on the biggest lots inside the gates, this is the village to watch.
Built 1991–2007, with the Winged Foot estates continuing to 2016. Typical homes run about 2,400–4,000 square feet with tile roofs, three-car garages, screened lanais, and private pools; sizes range wider, from the mid-2,000s to over 5,000 square feet. The streets tell the story — Medinah Circle, Legends Circle, and Grasslands Drive are all named for golf heritage, and several homes take in what residents call the nicest lake view in Grasslands, with others facing the 11th green.
Winged Foot Drive (locals shorten it to "Wingfoot") is Fairway Lakes' estate tier: 12 custom homes on roughly 0.6–1.6-acre lots, about 4,100–6,500 square feet, built 1999–2016, most with private pools. It's named for Winged Foot Golf Club in New York, keeping the village's golf theme. These homes rarely come to market — when one does, it draws attention from across Grasslands.
Recent listings show Fairway Lakes HOA dues of about $230–$241 per month, covering the 24-hour guard gate, reserves, common grounds, community manager, private roads, security, and trash. Fairway Lakes is not a maintenance-free village — owners handle their own lawns and exteriors, which is part of why the lots and homes can be this generous. Grasslands club membership is separate and optional for Fairway Lakes owners — see the membership section on the main Grasslands page for 2026 costs.
Fairway Lakes sits moments from the clubhouse, so dinner, the fitness center, and the first tee are a short golf-cart ride away. Recent market rankings place Fairway Lakes at the top of Grasslands' villages for average sale price — a reflection of the lot sizes, the views, and how rarely the estate homes trade.
Inside Grasslands' 24-hour guard-gated entrance off Harden Boulevard in south Lakeland. Fairway Lakes has no gate of its own; the clubhouse, racket sports, and dining are all within the community, and the Polk Parkway (SR 570) is minutes away for Tampa and Orlando commutes.
