Sarasota Signature Golf Courses |
|
The city of Sarasota is thought to be the site of one of the first golf courses in the United States. Sir John Gillespie, a Scottish aristocrat and one of the founding fathers of Sarasota, carried his hickory golf sticks with him from Scotland and by May of 1886 he had constructed a two-hole playing spot on what is now Links Ave between Main Street and Ringling Boulevard in downtown Sarasota. Although the course did not survive, the area’s most historic golf property, Bobby Jones Golf Club a municipal 45-hole layout owned and operated by the City of Sarasota, is just a short distance away. The famous amateur and course namesake, cut the ribbon at dedication ceremonies on Feb. 13, 1927. Legendary architect Donald Ross designed the original 18 holes. You can walk in their footsteps on nine of the holes, as the layout remains the same after all of these years. |
