In the early seventies, the inn, golf course, and some acreage were sold to Realtec, Inc., a Florida development company, which subsequently sold the property to Certain-Teed Corporation.  There would be one more owner, Fairfield Communities, Inc. of Arkansas, before Club members began negotiations to purchase the Club and its facilities. The purchase was accomplished in 1983 and shortly thereafter an irrigation system, a Men's Grill, Ladies' Lounge, and General Manager's office were added.

Tennis courts were added in 1989 and the nineties saw a steady flow of improvements, including the reconstruction of the greens to USGA specification, the acquisition of a liquor license, and the introduction of a Clubhouse Membership for non-golfers.  As membership increased, it became apparent that a major expansion was necessary, and, in 2004, a new practice facility was installed and a state-of-the-art fitness center, pool, and tennis complex were completed.

At the end of 2004, the old clubhouse was demolished and a 32,000-square foot Clubhouse, featuring a variety of dining rooms, a banquet room, expansive kitchen, and lots of covered porches was inaugurated at a Grand Opening Gala the following June.

In 2013, the first croquet lawn was dedicated and its overwhelming success led to a second lawn being added four years later. Enthusiasm for croquet is so strong that the club hosts a winter trip each year to a warm weather croquet school in Florida.

The newest entry to CCSV's activity options was made official over Memorial Day weekend in 2018, when three pickleball courts were opened.  The fastest growing racquet sport in the country, pickleball has already been met with unparalleled enthusiasm.

The Club's reputation for excellence has been further enhanced by hosting events like an annual tennis exhibition featuring world-class players, and the Hummingbird Intercollegiate Golf Tournament.  Additionally, the Club has raised significant funds for charity with its annual "CCSV Cares" event, held each summer.
