experience to head up north, there are a select number of golfers who don’t seem to mind it. As the snowbirds are starting to leave and head back up north, golf courses will look a little emptier and finding a tee time will become a little more accessible. The Meadows Country Club in Sarasota continues the renaissance of their club, with the recent completion of the Community Lifestyle and Wellness Facility and expansion of their social spaces. This follows the recent renovation of their golf course, completed last year. Venetian Golf Club is now an exclusively private club under their new ownership, Heritage Golf Group, and has recently completed a million-dollar extensive renovation to their course. A limited number of memberships are available to both residents and non-residents of their community. Be sure to check out the multitude of Summer and Trial Memberships that many of the area’s public and private clubs are offering this summer, such as Golf in Venice, Peridia and The Meadows, just to name a few. Some also offer reciprocals to other private clubs, where you’ll have a chance to play at other area gems not traditionally open to the public. And there is still time to take advantage of the Big Summer Golf Card, where you can enjoy their special offerings all year long. This is the #1 golf privilege card in Florida! And speaking of special offerings, Cigars International is running their special on an eightpiece sampler, ideal for a perfect day by the pool this summer. We hope that Golf Coast Magazine can be your guide on all that Southwest Florida has to offer in the golf community.
