About Sara Bay Country Club

Founded in 1926, Sara Bay Country Club is a private, member-owned golfclub located just north of downtown Sarasota, Florida. Designed by legendary architect Donald Ross, who considered Sara Bay among his personal favorites, the course is widely recognized as one of Florida's finest classic golf courses.

Located at 7011 Willow St, Sarasota, FL 34243, Sara Bay Country Club operates as a golf course serving Sarasota in Florida. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

In Sarasota, recreation centers and parks are busiest after work and on Saturday mornings, while athletic clubs are quiet mid-day. Membership contracts across Florida vary widely, so ask about initiation fees, freezes and cancellation terms before signing, and about whether court time is included or booked separately. Personal trainers who specialize in tennis fitness usually work out of a club or a park; a short trial session is normal before committing to a package.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 8 am–6 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (941) 355-7658. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is sarabaycc.org, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.6 out of 5 on Google across 163 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded golf courses & clubs in Sarasota.

Sarasota is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. Getting around Sarasota is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Florida's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

A good course, with wide fairways in between some challenging hole!

Sara Bay Country Club was a fantastic venue for our Rotary Club holiday party. The space was beautiful and well laid out for a group gathering, creating a festive yet elegant atmosphere that felt both welcoming and special. The service was truly incredibleβ€”attentive, professional, and seamless from start to finish. We also really enjoyed the cocktails and the food, which were well prepared and thoughtfully presented. Sara Bay Country Club delivered a wonderful experience and is an excellent choice for events, celebrations, and group gatherings.

Couldn’t get answers from membership. Golf shop seems unfriendly and doesn’t care either way. I get they have members and are busy from $60,000 initial fee. Plus monthly fees. Junior memberships are offered but do not appear to be welcomed in tone and rules. There are other options out there.

Sara Bay Country Club is a true hidden gem in Sarasota. The course is beautifully maintained with fast greens and a classic Donald Ross layout that keeps things challenging but fair. The staff is welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere feels relaxed yet refined. Whether you're out for a casual round or playing in a tournament, it’s always a great experience. Easily one of my favorite places to play in the area.
