With more than 30 golf courses in the Sarasota area — and more than 50 when considering the nearby communities of Bradenton and Venice, this is a treasure trove for golfers. One could easily spend an entire week’s vacation playing the local fairways and greens, and not even scratch the surface of all the Sarasota golfing has to offer. From greens with beach views to fairways lined with palms and lush tropical landscaping, golfing in Sarasota truly offers something for every player of any skill level.
