The Vinoy Golf Club has long been regarded as a landmark in the City of St. Petersburg overlooking Tampa Bay and the downtown area of St. Pete. The golf course and clubhouse are just a few minutes away from Snell Isle making the golf club a centerpiece in the whole area. The Vinoy is known for its rich history such that the citizens of St. Petersburg pushed for it to be registered under the National Register of Historic Places. Opened in 1925, what started as a simple hotel has now grown into a prominent club and the community is now flourishing as a significant neighborhood in St. Petersburg.
The Vinoy encompasses multiple neighborhoods as the golf course, with a total length of 6626-yards, covers different areas in St. Petersburg such as North East Park, Snell Isle, Spring Hill, and Tampa. The city of St. Petersburg has a population of 271,842 individuals as of 2020 and around 25% of this number reside in the many communities around Vinoy Golf Club. As an open community, the Vinoy itself is known for diversity with many of its residents not originally from Florida.
Once they step out of the Vinoy, residents are met by a multitude of restaurants, nightspots, and shopping centers that support the residential communities in and around Vinoy Golf Club. The Vinoy neighborhood has golf homes that vary in terms of size with 2 to 5-bedroom floorplans as well as plenty of apartments and golf condos that are available for rent. Most golf residences follow Mediterranean and old American architecture with the Vinoy's rich history and cultural heritage influencing many designs.
The Vinoy Golf Club itself is a waterfront resort that offers accommodation for those visiting the area. Many tourists stay here for month-long vacations without missing home because of the vast amenities the Vinoy can provide. Aside from the Ron Garl-designed championship golf course, there are also tennis courts and a fitness center for those wanting to stay in shape. The full-service marina can let residents travel to nearby areas via charter trips or simply enjoy water sports and activities offered in the area. For those who are into relaxation, the Vinoy Golf Club has two swimming pools, plus there's a day spa inside the club perfect for pampering and self-rejuvenation.
