Golfing in Sarasota is A-Hole-In-One

Discover Sarasota: A Golfer’s Paradise and Ideal Home Destination

If you’re a golf enthusiast considering a move to Florida, Sarasota and the surrounding Manatee County offer an unbeatable combination of world-class golf courses and beautiful residential communities. As an avid golfer and the owner of LUXE® Fine Homes Team powered by Keller Williams Realty, I’m excited to share why Sarasota is one of the premier golf destinations in the Sunshine State—and why it could be the perfect place for your next home. 

Sarasota and Manatee Counties: Over 50 Championship Golf Courses

Between Sarasota and Manatee counties, golf lovers have access to more than 50 meticulously maintained golf courses. These courses range from challenging championship layouts to more relaxed, scenic courses that cater to all skill levels. Whether you’re a scratch golfer or a weekend player, you’ll find a course that fits your style and pace.

Legendary Golf Course Designers in Sarasota

Many of the golf courses in this region were designed or influenced by some of the most notable golf professionals and architects in the game. For example:
