Southwest Florida's newest golf gem is poised to delight and challenge golfers. Opening winter 2008, Gordon Lewis' latest creation is an intriguing and dramatic design that is also the centerpiece of the exciting new south Venice community, Sarasota National Golf Club. The community is nestled among 2200 acres of native Florida landscape abundant in pines, oaks and palm trees with close to 350 acres of lakes. Built to the specifications of Silver Signature by Audubon International, the golf course is both environmentally friendly and unparalleled in beauty and playability. The expansive fairways, undulating greens, multiple tee placements and strategic bunker positioning will allow the course to be flexible enough for high handicap golfers to enjoy, but capable of challenging the very best golfers. Professionally managed by Troon Golf®, golfers can expect exceptional service and a world-class golf experience every time. The golf complex includes a fully-stocked pro shop, aqua range with natural turf targets, chipping and putting greens and lessons are available by PGA professionals.
