over 21,000 square feet of floor space. Its three dining areas
will allow seating for over 250 guests. Construction activities
will commence soon, with completion anticipated in early 2005.
The Creek 9 is the third nine holes of the 27-Hole golf facility

golf course architect, Arthur Hills. The Creek 9 is routed along
natural preserve areas and the Myakkahatchee Creek, and offers

Planning & Design Of New Clubhouse Rapidly Progressing
### July 22, 2002: Heron Creek
Funds Important Sidewalk Project
June 22, 2002: Heron Creek Sponsors Free Tennis Clinic Heron Creek’s beautiful Har-tru tennis courts were put to good use on Saturday morning, June 22nd with a series of free tennis clinics provided by USPTA Tennis Professional Clifford Vines. Clifford conducted a one-hour adult beginners clinic, two 30-minute "Kids ‘N’ Tennis" clinics, and an hour-long Intermediate Doubles Play Clinic. Clifford recently moved to the North Port area from Atlanta, Georgia, where he had conducted clinics and operated tennis programs at several clubs in the area.
May 1, 2002: Golf Digest's "Places
to Play" Rates Heron Creek Four Stars This is the second national publication to recognize Heron Creek in the past year, as Heron Creek Golf & Country Club was honored by Where to Retire Magazine in its Summer 2001 issue's list of the nations best master-planned communities. The national publication took a magnifying glass to more than 500 communities around the country and gave gold stars to Heron Creek in its summer issue cover story, "America's 100 Best Master-Planned Communities".
March 30, 2002: Creek 9 Groundbreaking Celebration Paul Barone, General Manager, emceed the ceremony. Speakers included Dr. Hans-Jurgen Reichardt, Arthur Hills, and North Port City Council Chairperson, Rue Berryman. Dr. Reichardt spoke about his and the development team's vision for Heron Creek as a beautiful golf & country club community, and how proper planning, when combined with the talents, hard work and discipline of all those involved in the project, has resulted in a community with an unsurpassed lifestyle in harmony with nature. Arthur Hills presented his latest design, the Creek 9, often referring to the large scale color rendering that was unveiled at the ceremony. As expected, the Creek contains many of the already familiar course design features from Heron Creek's Marsh and Oaks 9's, but the Creek will certainly be unique and offer new challenges and many more beautiful vistas. The color rendering is now hanging in the Clubhouse lobby, just opposite the Pro Shop door. The Creek 9 will be built by Wadsworth Construction, a highly respected golf course construction firm. Wadsworth has been mobilized on site, and construction should begin almost any day. Because of weather and other unpredictable conditions, the opening date for the Creek 9 can only be estimated at this time as sometime in 2003, but it will be opened as soon as possible. This festive day started with a members-only golf tournament in the morning, followed by lunch. After the Groundbreaking Ceremony, Heron Creek's seven preferred builders and their guests challenged the course in a golf tournament. At the end of the day, a cocktail reception was held for all participants to enjoy, with the added opportunity to meet Arthur Hills. Thanks to all who participated in this momentous and festive occasion. ###

Heron Creek "America's 100 Best Master Planned Communities." The national publication that caters to the 50-and-older crowd recently took a magnifying glass to more than 500 communities around the country and gave gold stars to 100 of them in it's summer issue cover story, "America's 100 Best Master-Planned Communities. "The magazines editors look for communities that offered such amenities as clubhouse, planned activities, social clubs and recreational facilities such as golf courses, tennis courts and swimming pools. In honoring it's list, Where to Retire Magazine also focused on communities that promote an active lifestyle. February 13,2002: Developers
February Community Newsletter We recently opened three, (3), new neighborhoods at Heron Creek, bringing the current total to eight, (8), now completed. The number of neighborhoods we expect at build-out will be more than double that amount. The three, (3), newest are "Heron's Reserve", "Hidden Oaks", and "Osprey Cove". In opening these new areas, we now have a total of 376 completed home sites with Heron Creek. New homebuyers currently have the ability to choose among our seven, (7), exclusive builders offering a variety of products within these neighborhood communities. The beautiful resort style heated swimming pool and spa is nearing completion at the Heron Creek Golf & Country Club Fitness Center. The expansive sun deck utilizing our entire perimeter is scheduled to be installed later this month. We are anxiously awaiting completion of the magnificent amenity feature, and would like to invite you to join us for the opening of our pool & spa in the very near future. Once we have received our final certificate of completion, we will arrange a special invitation to all of our club members and their guests to "Splash Down 2002", the official Grand Opening of our "fun in the sun" resort pool & spa. You won't want to miss it! For you golfers, we have some news to report also. You know the "Marsh", and you know the "Oaks". These are the names we have chosen for the two existing nines at Heron Creek. There is a continuous debate among our frequent players, members and guests alike, as to which nine-hole track is better, and often which one is the favorite. We find nearly as many different responses as there are golfers here, which is exactly what renowned golf course architect Arthur Hills set out to do. Well, your decision isn't going to get any easier in the future, as Mr. Hills' newest masterpiece, now crowned the "Creek" nine is on the horizon. The "Creek" nine will begin near the Club & Fitness Center as do the other two, but in a different twist, its lush fairways and soft greens will wind up to the north taking you over, yes, I mean over, Price Blvd. via our private access bridge. During this journey, you will enjoy another fabulous golf experience for sure, but also as only Arthur Hills can do, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful natural elements left untouched by the construction process in a yet unforeseen setting within our current eighteen-hole layout. You will then turn back toward the Club and once again pass over the bridge to the home hole. There will be four holes near the Club, and five to play once you cross the bridge, many of which will run near to the Myaakahatchee Creek. In a word, it will be fabulous! Ground breaking for the "Creek" nine is set for March 29, 2002, with commencement of construction to begin shortly thereafter. We are currently waiting to obtain our final environmental permits. Our development consultants are diligently pursuing these valuable commitments, and once we have a final date to report, we will gladly share it with you. Our plan is to open the "Creek" nine early next year during the winter season, stay tuned!

Creek “We recently sold our home in Port Charlotte and have been looking for several months for just the right place to build our new home,” the Vanderbergs commented. “We put a lot of miles on our car, looking at gated communities from as far south as Naples to as far north as Bradenton. It was not until we were driving through North Port and drove in to look around Heron Creek, that we started getting excited. We loved the rolling hills filled with palm trees and the lush landscaping that starts at the entry gates and carries through the entire project. Here was a really new, obviously first class community coming to life only minutes from our family and friends in Port Charlotte.” Nohl Crest Homes, the first of Heron Creek’ s preferred builders, will construct the Vanderberg’s new home. In Phase I of Heron Creek’s development, four housing options will be offered: single family homes, detached villas, twin villa coach homes, and condominiums.
