Concert Golf Partners has acquired the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in the Palm Harbor area of Tampa Bay, purchasing the property for $19.8 million in cash and assuming existing liabilities. The seller, Salamander Collection, has owned the asset since buying it for $35 million in 2007 and will retain 34 acres of land adjacent to the resort for potential future development.
According to reporting from the Tampa Bay Business Journal, the transaction covers both the resort’s golf courses and its hospitality operations. In a joint statement, Concert Golf Partners and Salamander Collection said that the incoming ownership will keep the current Innisbrook team in place. Salamander will also continue to be involved with the resort in a consulting role after the sale closes, providing continuity of institutional knowledge and operational insight during the transition.
Innisbrook was established in 1960 and has since grown into a large-scale golf and resort destination. The property extends across approximately 600 rolling acres and is anchored by four championship golf courses. These include the Copperhead course, which hosts the PGA Tour’s Valspar Championship, as well as the South, North and Island courses. The multi-course layout positions the property as a significant tournament and resort venue within the Tampa Bay region.
Beyond golf, Innisbrook offers a range of hospitality and resort amenities. The property includes more than 300 guest rooms, multiple restaurants and bars, and a spa. It also features approximately 65,000 square feet of meeting space, supporting corporate events, conferences, and group travel. Additional amenities noted at the resort include six pools, tennis courts, and other leisure facilities that complement the golf-focused offering.
Salamander Collection’s decision to retain 34 acres for future development indicates that while ownership of the operating resort is changing hands, there is still land on the campus that may be activated separately at a later date. With the existing team staying in place and Salamander continuing in an advisory capacity, the transaction structure is designed to maintain operational stability while transferring long-term ownership and investment responsibility to Concert Golf Partners.
