     Located on the Gulf of Mexico, along the coast of sunny Florida, Longboat Key Club and Resort is the state’s premier golf destination, drawing locals, weekenders, and families and individuals enjoying Florida vacation rentals from all over the globe.

     Players are soothed by Gulf breezes on our inspiring 18-hole links-style Islandside course, while our tree-lined Harbourside course boasts three nine-hole layouts along Sarasota Bay. Golf enthusiasts of all ages are invited to experience the magnificence of all courses, thereby making them incredibly popular among families seeking an invigorating stay at our resort or one of our many Florida vacation rentals.

The resort's 6,792 yard Islandside course borders the Gulf of Mexico, with water challenges coming into play on all 18 holes. Florida vacation rental and resort guests are always amazed at the fine Tifdwarf grass, used on the greens to ensure smooth putting surfaces. They are also enchanted by the more than 5,000 palm trees and pink and white blooming oleander that line the course’s fairways and canals – all of which combine to make the Islandside course one of Florida’s most beautiful courses.

Also a favorite among Florida vacation rental and resort visitors, our Harbourside course’s challenging 27-hole layout is composed of three nine-hole circuits designed by acclaimed course-designer Willard Byrd. Bordering the sparkling waters of Sarasota Bay, the course plays through impressive stands of oak, sabal palm, fig, palmetto, fiddleleaf palm, Washingtonian palm and southern pine.

Considering our courses’ pristine features and waterside locations, it is of little surprise that Florida vacation rental and resort guests return year after year for extended golf escapes.
