Laurel Oak Country Club


 
Laurel Oak Real Estate

Searching for Laurel Oak Country Club homes for sale? This Country Club is located just a few minutes drive from Sarasota’s city center. It was established in 1999, and since then, the Laurel Oak Country Club has turned itself into a focal point for a myriad of community activities conducive to building friendships as well as business networking.

The Laurel Oak activities gravitate to its newly renovated 45,000-square foot clubhouse wherein more than 180 special events take place every year. The gatherings of this magnitude owe much to the highly active members of the Country Club and the many amenities provided to them. Its membership roster is composed not only of members from the young families and retirees from within the 800-acre Laurel Oak community. Many non-residents have likewise found the country club an integral part of their lifestyle.

There are several membership categories at the Laurel Oak Country Club. Each of these is based on use of the country club facilities, mainly for golf and tennis as well as access to the swimming pool and club house socials. Two membership types are for unlimited privileges on either tennis or golf facilities, in addition to pool use and socials. One category gives unlimited pool and social privileges only. There are also membership categories for corporate, executive, associate and trial with their own specific privileges.

The Country Club maintains twelve superb clay tennis courts including eight lighted facilities for night play. It has a professional staff to organize regular tournaments for all age levels and to provide well-rounded instruction programs as well.

Friendships and family bonding can be enhanced in the Country Club’s six-lane Junior Olympic swimming pool.  There’s also a professional in-house group to conduct regular swim lessons and competitions for kids.  At pool hours during summer, lifeguards are on always on duty.

Laurel Oak’s Two Championship Golf Courses

There are two championship golf courses at Laurel Oak, both blending well with the lakes and wetland preserves in the country club environs. It has an East Course which is a signature design of the legendary golfer, Gary Player. Completed in 1995, this course measures 4,673 yards from the white tee box and 6,875 yards from the black. The other layout, the West Course, was renovated in 2005, incorporating the design of another golf icon, Rees Jones, widely acclaimed as the “US Open Doctor.”  From the white box, the course yardage is 4,647 and 6,934 from the black. Some major tournaments have paid homage to the challenge of these golf courses. Laurel Oak has played host to the qualifying tournament of the US Open, and it is still the arena for the Michelob Ultra-Lite National Tournaments.

Country club men’s golf tourneys are held three times a week and every Saturday. Women golfers grab their share of the limelight in either nine-hole or 18-hole competitions scheduled once a week. Laurel Oak’s resident pros are regularly available for individual or group practice sessions. These can be conveniently held at the country club’s putting green and chipping area, and a practice area with bunker for the short game. Clinics, group and individual golf lessons for junior golfers are also conducted by the country club’s professional staff.
