ABOUT ALAQUA
Alaqua is one of Longwood, FL’s most exclusive and prestigious communities, offering residents a genuinely private luxury lifestyle centered around one of Central Florida’s most exclusive private golf clubs. Located on Markham Woods Road in Seminole County, Alaqua is a 24-hour guard-gated community developed across multiple phases beginning in the late 1980s, featuring custom estate homes on generous lots surrounded by mature landscaping, natural wildlife, and the serene setting of the Alaqua Country Club golf course.
Alaqua is a completely separate community from the neighboring Alaqua Lakes — the two share a name and a road, but are distinct communities with separate gates, HOAs, and country clubs. Alaqua’s golf club is fully private and by invitation only, making it one of the most exclusive residential golf addresses available anywhere in Seminole County.
DISCOVER MORE ABOUT ALAQUA
Alaqua was developed beginning in the late 1980s as one of the Markham Woods Road corridor’s premier luxury golf communities. The community features a newer section — Reserve at Alaqua — developed by Standard Pacific between 2014 and 2020 on smaller lots within the community. Reserve at Alaqua homes are natural gas and include yard maintenance in the HOA, distinguishing them from the original Alaqua phases where larger custom estate homes sit on more generous lots.
The Alaqua Country Club is the crown jewel of the community — a totally private, by-invitation-only golf club with no tee times required, a limited and carefully curated membership, a beautifully redesigned clubhouse with indoor and outdoor dining, a climate-controlled indoor gun range, and pickleball courts. The club has hosted the Epson Tour IOA Classic, a professional women’s golf tour event, cementing its reputation as one of the most respected private golf venues in all of Central Florida.
