Sweetwater Golf & Tennis Club is a gated 55+ / age-restricted (HOPA) active-adult community in Haines City, Polk County, ZIP 33844, set on Lake Henry around an 18 hole golf course (community materials and Polk County golf listings, 2026). The Add 03 plat is one of several recorded additions that built out the underlying Sweetwater community over time.
The community took shape largely from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, with the golf course dating to 1988 (community and golf-course listings, 2026). Homes range across single-family residences, villas, and condominiums on deeded lots, so the exact home type, square footage, and lot have to be confirmed per address rather than assumed from a community average.
Because this is an amenity-rich age-restricted community, the money is made or lost on the association and the specific home, not just the address. The drivers are the monthly HOA dues, what those dues include, the reserve and capital picture behind the clubhouse, pool, course, and courts, and the specific home type, lot, and golf-course or lake exposure, all of which should be read from the current association documents.
The pitch is an active-adult lifestyle on a lake: golf, tennis, pickleball, a heated pool and hot tub, a fitness room, shuffleboard, a clubhouse with a pub, and boating on Lake Henry, with Haines City services and US 17/92 close and the Orlando-area attractions and Interstate 4 a manageable drive. The work is the diligence: read the budget and reserves, confirm the dues inclusions and the age-restriction and rental rules, and verify the home type and lot before you buy the lifestyle.
