Golf Loving Owners of Sarasota Homes

TPC Prestancia Stadium Course Par 3 4Th Hole

For golf loving owners of Sarasota homes it is akin to living in paradise. Golf courses abound to suit all tastes and all levels of play. There is a plentiful supply of Sarasota Real estate bordering the many top class courses in the area. Residents may view the meandering fairways, lush greens and sparkling lakes from the privacy of the pool area in their Sarasota home. The silence only broken when a passing golf cart disturbs one of the many varieties of wildlife which share your Sarasota property.

The fantastic climate of Florida's Gulf coast coupled with the plentiful supply of Sarasota homes situated on beautiful golf courses ensures your Sarasota property investment is something that can be enjoyed three hundred and sixty five days a year.   Although   I would recommend morning Tee Times during July, August and September due to the late afternoon Thunderstorms at that time of year.

Founders Golf Course

Avail yourself of great golf courses with superb  practice facilities, Instruction by PGA qualified teaching professionals, fully stocked golf shops with great Restaurants and Bars for off course entertainment. All within close proximity to your Sarasota home.

I would have to write a book to point you in the direction of every great Golf Course but I will mention a few of my favorites you may like to put on your must play list.

The Concession Golf Club (Private) so named in reference to the putt conceded by designer Jack Nicklaus to co-designer Tony Jacklin on the last hole, to share the final match of the 1969 Ryder Cup held at Royal Birkdale in England. This magnificent golf club is home to real Estate of the highest quality. The only fitting description of this course is spectacular, whilst luxury homes are never far away, the project is so well planned that only once or twice during eighteen holes do players and homes compete for views of this wonderful piece of real estate. White suited caddies attend to the needs of golfers on the course; a truly majestic club house ensures that off course activities are well taken care of.

Founders 3rd Hole

The Founders Club (Private) designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr and opened in 2005.Eighteen beautifully designed holes of golf which wind their way through nearly 700 acres of  Florida landscape.Lakes.mature Oaks and swaying palms test the skills of the very best. Whilst the Club House is designed to pander to your culinary desires and provides an ambience of pure relaxation.

Sara Bay Country club (Private) where the legends of yesteryear plied their trade, whose beautifully manicured fairways and greens played hosts to the likes of Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour and many more. I would not go as far as to say you will meet the ghost of Bobby Jones but better men than me have said they get the feeling they are in exalted company when they play there.

Founders Vista from 9th

TPC Prestancia GC (Private) has two courses, The Club Course where mature trees make up many of the hazards, has fantastic bird life which extends to a pair of Bald Eagles who successfully rear their young by the side of the Par Five Tenth hole fairway. The Stadium course typifies the TPC at Sawgrass with two of the four par threes being Island Greens surrounded by water. This course has hosted eight (8) Chrysler Cup Tournaments, and five (5) American Express Invitational's, CHAMPIONS TOUR events.

The Oaks Club (Private) the Heron and the Eagle, both of which wind their way through lakes, mature oaks and majestic pines. The Heron course underwent a total renovation in 2007 with design and supervision under the expert hands of Mr. Arthur Hills. The Club House is old world splendor with a social life to attract all.

Laurel Oaks Country Club (Private) again with two courses the East and the West which underwent a complete re construction in 2005 by the highly respected Reese Jones. Whole number 17 on the West Course is a tough par five that has ruined many a score card. The second shot whether you go for the green or choose to lie up is a daunting experience for beginner or Professional alike.
