Pulte Acquires the Land
By the time the Oak Tree Golf Course closed down, Pulte had already built other communities in Florida. In fact they had acquired several golf courses throughout the state and had already transformed them into vibrant, new, modern communities.
Planning Oak Tree
After the acquisition of the land Pulte put together a plan for the 139 acre site. Pulte presented the plan for over 800 homes to Oakland Park’s City Commission. The Commission did not approve the plan and recommended several changes, including the inclusion of more open space for residents.
