The Bobby Jones Golf Club is a municipal golf facility located in Sarasota, Florida, with a total of 45-holes of premier golf. This club, named after legendary golfer Bobby Jones, who is popularly known for winning a Grand Slam, is the pride of publicly accessible golf in Sarasota. Bobby Jones Golf Club has two 18-hole championship routings and a 9-hole executive-style golf course.

One of the 18-hole courses is the American Course which features four sets of tees to accommodate players of different skill levels. With a yardage of 4,300 to 6,000 yards, this is a shot maker’s course with trees and bodies of water as the main hazards. There are also surprise obstacles along the way that are proven game-changers. The American Course was designed by Donald Ross in 1927 but later redesigned by Ron Garl in 1987.

Like the courses, the golfing amenities at the Bobby Jones Golf Club are top of the line. The golf carts feature GPS systems, and the practice facilities are complete from driving range to putting green, and practice bunker to chipping green. The clubhouse bar and restaurant are the perfect 19th hole for players and a popular dining spot for locals.

The clubhouse also shares a piece of history through the photo gallery on its walls. The gallery features many historical photos of Bobby Jones, Col. Gillespie, monumental events, trophies, and a lot more. The Bobby Jones Golf Club’s clubhouse can also be hired for private functions and offers great banquet facilities.

Unfortunately, the Bobby Jones Golf Club is currently closed for a thorough renovation of the entire facility and is scheduled to reopen in late 2022.

Bobby Jones Golf Club

The Bobby Jones Golf Club community is a mixture of detached single-family golf homes, golf villas, apartments, and condominium buildings, with the neighborhood just 15-minutes away from the gulf beaches to the west. The area is generally a green community but just a few meters beyond is a commercial district full of shopping centers, restaurants, and other commercial establishments.
The Bobby Jones Golf Club is the center attraction of this community and with three publicly accessible golf courses in the one location the club is ever-popular amongst golfers in the know. The clubhouse is a great amenity for all the residents of the community as it is a great spot to socialize with friends and family over great food and drinks.
The club is a natural park in the heart of urban Sarasota and is well maintained by the City. The club is currently undergoing a major renovation to rebuild the courses which were becoming tired due to overuse due to the number of visitors that frequent this remarkable golf club.
