Just minutes from downtown Sarasota, Laurel Oak is a private, 36-hole club with layouts by Gary Player and Rees Jones. The streets that lead to the Audobon-certified community’s 400 homes are named after some of golf’s historic figures and noted architects, such as Perry Maxwell and Alister Mackenzie. Laurel Oak members enjoy a 45,000 square foot clubhouse, a full-size heated swimming pool and a dozen HarTru tennis courts, as well as privileges at Bird Key Yacht Club. The community is located a few minutes from Siesta Key, which was voted the “Best Beach in America” in 2011.
