PRIVATE COUNTRY CLUB

Whether teeing off on the course, enjoying brunch at the clubhouse, or competing on the court, you'll uncover the finest private country club living within Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte County.

Exclusive addresses reside in neighborhoods of distinction throughout East Manatee, Longboat Key, Sarasota, Osprey, and Venice.

Spend your days on challenging, private courses designed by Golf legends Palmer, Nicklaus, and Fazio. Many of these emerald fairways are consistently voted the top places to play in the US by prestigious golf magazines.

PUBLIC AND MUNICIPAL

No matter where you live, you are not far from golf and tennis amenities designed to help you perfect your serve or practice your swing.

Sarasota was home to one of the first golf courses in the United States. The moment Colonel J. Hamilton Gillespie dropped anchor in Sarasota, he knew what was missing; and cleared a spot in the woods near present-day downtown to build the county's first golf course.

Today, the area's most historic golf property is the Bobby Jones Golf Club, a 45-hole layout owned and operated by the City of Sarasota.
