"Putting for Pinot will enable residents to reconnect and visitors to experience the community, while honing both their palate and their skills on the putting range."

About WaterSound West Beach: WaterSound West Beach is a quiet, low-key coastal community nestled on the Gulf side of Scenic Highway 30-A, within short reach of charming shops and restaurants. At full buildout, the 62-acre property will have fewer than 200 homes. The community offers a private pool complete with barbecue facilities and an outdoor fireplace, and a centrally located pond, perfect for cozy gatherings on cooler evenings.
