Their country club rangkuman is on equal footing having renovated the clubhouses at Royal Poinciana, The Club at Pelican Bay and The Naples Yacht Club, to name only a few. Former Gateway general manager, Jimmy Lynn, has also partnered with Garrett in this first venture into country club ownership.

Myers market, with a rich history of providing a superb experience to the members for nearly 30 years”, said Ekovich.
Designed by Tom Fazio and built in 1989, Gateway consists of 18-holes of championship golf a 22,000-plus square-foot clubhouse with formal dining room, fitness center swimming pool and expansive practice facility.

“We feel very privileged to have been chosen to represent the members of Gateway. We ran a national search for the right buyer, procured multiple offers from all over the country but I think we really hit a home run in Don Garrett and Jimmy Lynn, given their vision for the future and experience” said Karamitsos. Gateway Board President, Ron Ziegler stated “One of the most important decisions we had to make was the selection of a broker. Choosing Marcus & Millichap was the first of many good decisions.” Ziegler added “By selling the club to Don Garrett, today we feel as though we are placing the club in good hands for the future.”
