I'm looking for a gated golf community and have some interest in Kings Gate. Does anyone know if there are many singles there? I wouldn't want to be the only single female, not counting women who become widows while already living there. Any input would be appreciated. If you can recommend other active adult communities with golf in SW Florida that singles wouldn't be out of place, that would be helpful. Thanks.

I was in Kings Gate a few months ago showing homes and saw a few couples and some single people in the pool (don't know if they had someone at home though). I do know they have a pretty decent social calendar, so I would assume you would be able to meet some people that way. Kings Gate would be a top pick given your requirements.

I'm not sure if you wanted to stay in Charlotte county or you would venture a little north. Anyway, here are some ideas. Not all have golf but I listed it if they did:

Charlotte county 55+ communities
Kings Gate, Punta gorda-The Kings Gate community offers adult resort living, at a reasonable price. Located in Southwest Florida, Kings Gate is a gated community, for seniors age 55 and over. Kings Gate is conveniently located one mile west of I-75 on Kings Highway, and within easy distance of medical facilities, and shopping. It features the largest heated pool and spa in Charlotte County, and a state-of-the-art community recreation center. Kings Gate is a pet friendly environment with accessible veterinary services. Residents are close to restaurants, swimming, fishing, boating and beaches, and within a short distance of airports and other services. Because Kings Gate is maintenance-free, the Kings Gate residents have plenty of time to pursue hobbies, exercise, work out, shop, eat and play golf.

The Kings Gate community recreation center offers golf leagues, billiards, softball, bridge, dancing, water aerobics, fitness classes, yoga, a fishing club, a bocce court, library, craft room, lawn bowling, lighted clay tennis courts, a pro shop and an 18-hole executive golf course. Get to know your neighbors at any one of the many scheduled Kings Gate events including community barbeques, potluck dinners, ice cream socials and holiday parties. Leave the car at home and motor around the grounds on your golf cart. Kings Gate is a casual, neighborly place to live! Relax and play in the warm Florida climate and enjoy the benefits of adult resort-style living. It’s all here!

You would be welcomed in most communities and not feel out of place being single. Kings Gate is a very nice community with a lot of social activities. Another gated golf community with low fees that compares to Kings Gate is Seminole Lakes in Punta Gorda. Kings Gate is 55+ and Seminole Lakes in not.

Most of the other gated golf communities have higher fees such as Bobcat Trail and Heron Creek in North Port and Riverwood in Port Charlotte and Burnt Store Marina in Punta Gorda. You might want to try Sabal Trace in North Port, but they don't have as many activities. Are you looking for single family homes only? Maple Leaf Estates is a popular gated golf mobile home community in Port Charlotte right near Kings Gate.

There are a few other gated communities around, but they do not have golf if golf is one of your preferences.
