Sarasota's Golf Communities
Sarasota is home to a range of established golf communities, each with its own character. Laurel Oak Estates, a gated community east of Bee Ridge Road, is built around two championship courses designed by Gary Player.
Buyers can choose between full-equity country club living, semi-private clubs, and communities where golf access doesn't require membership at all.

Sarasota's Golf Communities
Golf community purchases come with considerations beyond the home itself — membership category and cost, whether membership is mandatory or optional, course maintenance assessments, and HOA rules specific to golf-adjacent lots. Ben walks buyers through each community's membership structure before they fall in love with a specific address, and helps sellers position membership transferability as part of the listing.
Do I have to join the country club to live in a Sarasota golf community?
It depends on the community. Some, like fully private country clubs, require membership as a condition of ownership. Others offer golf access on a pay-to-play or optional membership basis. This varies significantly by community and is worth confirming before making an offer.
What are Sarasota's best-known golf communities?
Laurel Oak Estates, The Founders Club, and Bent Tree are among the area's most established golf communities, each offering a different mix of course design, membership structure, and home style.
