PORT ST. LUCIE, FL. — Construction is underway on the new 18-hole golf course at Taylor
Morrison’s Esplanade at Solaeris in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Designed by golf course architect
Christopher Wilczynski of C.W. Golf Architecture, the course will serve as the centerpiece of the
new golf residential community, offering a unique playing experience for golfers of all skill
levels.

“Esplanade at Solaeris reflects our ongoing commitment to creating exceptional lifestyle
communities designed around connection, wellness, and shared experiences,” said Jeremy
Goulart, Taylor Morrison’s Treasure Coast Vice President of Operations. “We’re proud to
collaborate with Chris and a highly accomplished team of industry experts to deliver a premier
golf experience that will serve as the centerpiece of the community and a destination residents
and guests will enjoy for years to come.”

The project transforms what was once a flat citrus farm into a dynamic golf landscape. Multiple
lakes will be created across the property, generating approximately 650,000 to 700,000 cubic
yards of soil used to shape the course’s landforms, fairways and playing corridors. Native Florida
vegetation, including live oaks, pines, palms and other plant materials, will be thoughtfully
incorporated throughout the course to frame the holes, enhance aesthetics and support wildlife
habitat.

Wilczynski’s design emphasizes strategic variety and diverse playing experiences through a mix
of par-3, par-4 and par-5 holes featuring varied lengths and risk-reward opportunities, including
several drivable par-4s.

A five-tee system ranging from approximately 3,800 to 7,000 yards will provide options for
golfers of all abilities, from beginners to accomplished players. Distinctive green complexes with
varying sizes, elevations, angles and contouring will create strategic interest and introduce
unique playing characteristics from hole to hole.

“I hope golfers and residents are drawn to the course for its beauty, strategic character, challenge

and playability,” said Wilczynski. “Our goal is to create a sense of place that encourages shared
experiences with family and friends. The best rounds are those where each hole makes you look
forward to the next—and that’s what we’re focused on delivering.”

Contractors include Ryangolf (golf course construction), Atwell (civil engineering), RVi (land
planning and landscape architecture), Guettler Brothers (mass grading), Aqua Turf International
and Sean Hyduk (irrigation design), and GT Irrigation (irrigation construction).

Wilczynski will make weekly site visits to oversee each phase of construction through the
course’s expected opening for play early to mid-2027.
