Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, July 29, 2026 —

A proposed plan to transform The Landings Golf Club in Clearwater into a multi-use sports complex is facing significant opposition from residents living in close proximity to the site.

The primary concerns voiced by the community revolve around potential impacts on their quality of life, specifically citing anticipated increases in traffic, elevated noise levels, and environmental consequences. These issues have become focal points for residents who stand to be most directly affected by the development.

The developer behind the proposal, Les Porter, has indicated that efforts are underway to mitigate these resident concerns. According to Porter, modifications to the plan are being implemented. These adjustments reportedly include changes aimed at improving traffic flow in the surrounding areas and addressing the cleanup of an old landfill located on the golf club property. These measures are intended to address some of the environmental and logistical worries expressed by the public.

The Clearwater City Council is slated to examine the proposal in August 2026. This review will provide a formal platform for the project to be discussed and evaluated by city officials. In addition to the council’s review, the process will include designated opportunities for public comment, allowing residents and other stakeholders to voice their opinions and concerns directly to the decision-makers.

Further details regarding the specific scope of the sports complex and the precise nature of the proposed modifications were not immediately available. The outcome of the August 2026 review by the City Council will be crucial in determining the future of The Landings Golf Club site.
