Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Sarasota County?

We always recommend visiting Sarasota County between late October and early May. The weather is absolutely perfect for golf - think sunny skies and comfortable temperatures - though you'll find higher green fees and more crowded courses during peak winter months. If you're looking for a deal, consider late spring for slightly warmer weather but fewer people.

What kind of golf courses can I expect to find in Sarasota County?

You'll discover a fantastic mix here, from classic Florida designs with plenty of water and strategic bunkering to some surprisingly varied layouts that make good use of the natural landscape. While many are resort-style, there are also some excellent public tracks that offer a true test of your game without breaking the bank.

How much should I budget for green fees when golfing in Sarasota County?

Green fees in Sarasota County vary quite a bit, but you should generally expect to pay anywhere from $70-$150 during the peak winter season for a quality public course. If you're looking at a more upscale resort course, those prices can easily climb to $200 or more, especially on weekends.

What are some must-do activities in Sarasota County when I'm not on the course?

When you're not swinging clubs, we highly recommend exploring the stunning beaches like Siesta Key, famous for its quartz sand, or visiting The Ringling museum complex for a dose of art and history. The vibrant downtown area also offers fantastic dining and unique shops, making for a perfect evening out.

Are there any specific courses in Sarasota County that are absolute must-plays or offer a unique experience?

For a truly memorable round, we always point golfers towards the challenging and beautifully maintained Legacy Golf Club at Lakewood Ranch. If you're seeking a more relaxed but still engaging experience, the Bobby Jones Golf Club offers two historic courses that are a local favorite and a great value.
