Sara Bay Country Club

Very well maintained, beautiful course. Greens are very fast and are tough reads. Main problems are no GPS in carts (for what you are paying carts should definitely have GPS), Fairways are very close to each other, no directions so hard to know where the next hole is and without GPS or at least a hole layout on the scorecard there are quite a few blind shots and unseen hazards.

I thought the layout of the course was excellent. Ross put together a very enjoyable set of holes that wound its way around a creek that came into play on a number of holes. Fairways were in very good shape and the small greens rolled very good… probably about a 11. Overall I would rate this course as one of the best layed out 18 holes in the Sarasota area. Donald Ross did another fine job!

An old school club with amazing staff and a Donald Ross golf course that is tremendous. The green complexes are challenging, the are fast and undulating and did I mention amazing. It's a course worth trying to get on to play. Tip from a local while we were there, don't be afraid to play your tee shot on 18 down the 10th fairway. Gives a great angle and takes trouble on left out of play. Wonderful spot hope to get invited back.
