The Ritz-Carlton Members Club Sarasota: Ritz-Carlton

I had the privilege of playing in the 2025 Ranch Shootout hosted by Short Par 4. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with first-class service and hospitality that truly lives up to the Ritz-Carlton name. The course itself is in pristine condition, lush fairways, fast greens, and a layout that’s both challenging and rewarding for all skill levels. Every hole offers a unique experience, with beautiful scenery, strategic design, and immaculate landscaping throughout. What really sets this club apart is the attention to detail: from the spotless practice facilities to the elegant clubhouse and top-tier dining. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and well taken care of. Can’t wait to come back!

The course is beautiful — super well-maintained and a great layout for all skill levels. I had a lesson with Gabriel who was an awesome instructor and really helped me improve. Since I was staying at the Ritz-Carlton hotel, I came back the next day just to hit some balls at the driving range, and it was completely free with the stay. The country club itself is really nice — great food, friendly staff, and just an overall top-tier environment. Definitely a 5-star experience all around.

I have yet to golf here however I was contracted to do the tournament scoreboard. It’s a gorgeous property with an absolutely excellent and respectful staff. They made every accommodation and then some to make my job easy and enjoyable. It’s a wonderful place to do business with and I can’t thank them enough!

This Ritz Carlton Golf course ranks as one of the best golf courses that I have played. I was a guest and I have played this course four times. The course conditions are excellent throughout from the fairways, tees, greens, and bunkers. The fairways are wide, vary in elevation, have frequent bunkers, and on a few holes, water comes into play. This course is very well maintained and is a scenic golf course with many ponds , trees, shrubbery, and flowers everywhere. Each hole is different and feels secluded from the remaining holes. The Pro Shop staff are cordial and professional and the shop is well stocked. The carts are new. The bar and the adjioning eating area is comfortable and the food is excellent. This course should be on your list of courses to play. You will enjoy it!

Phenomenal course. I played over the weekend with my cousin. The course was in incredible shape for the time of the year. Greens played pure. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. The course challenged every part of my golf game. Staff were first class and I hope to come back and play soon.
