The Social Butterfly

Our 24,00-square-foot Golf Hall hosts many events throughout the month and reservations in our dining rooms can be made for two, but after arriving, you may find yourself seated in a table of eight enjoying food, drinks, and fun.

Other substantial events held at the Golf and Social Club include a Halloween hayride through the community in October, a holiday shopping event and tree-lighting ceremony in December, and a Santa Brunch right around the holidays.

The Golfer
Did you move to Florida so you can spend your days soaking up the sun and improving your golf game? If so, you came to the right place. Our community’s Robert Trent Jones, Jr. golf course is as dramatic as it is rewarding, designed to take its cues from the natural landscape surrounding it. Get tee times on your own terms with memberships limited to just 275 and no tee times required to enjoy a round of golf. The Founders Golf and Social Club also offers Sarasota, FL’s only traditional caddie program and members have access to practice and training facilities consisting of two putting greens, a short game area, and state-of-the-art TrackMan radar technology through the Florida Golf Performance Center, as well as a Flight Scope system. Once you’re ready to hit the greens, you can challenge yourself and your opponents in the different men’s, women’s, and couples’ golf events held. There is also a well-stocked golf shop with a friendly, professional staff and fully equipped men’s and women’s locker facilities with generous lounge areas to make you feel at home before and after your exhilarating golf games.
The City Slicker
The location of your luxury home community is important and our Sarasota luxury community is perfect for achieving the best of both worlds. Just minutes from I-75, a vibrant downtown area, and world-class beaches, The Founders Club allows residents to be close enough to enjoy the benefits of city living, but far enough away to be free of the hustle and bustle associated with them. In this prime location, Founders Club residents can escape to the award-winning beaches found along the Sarasota Keys, enjoy ultimate shopping pleasure in St. Armands Circle and finish the night captivated by the sights and sounds of the arts and culture scene in the area.
Residents can also revel in shopping bliss at the Mall at University Town Center, where shopping is made easy with 880,000 square feet of retail space featuring Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, Dillard’s, and more than 100 stores and restaurants. Downtown Sarasota also boasts the shopping pleasures of St. Armands Circle, where exclusive shops, galleries, and exotic boutiques line the streets.
The Beach Bum
Love the beach, but don't exactly want to live by the water? Our luxury home community is located moments away from the award-winning beaches of the Sarasota Keys, including Siesta Key Beach. Siesta Key was named the #1 beach in the U.S. by coastal expert Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, Dr. Beach and Director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research. Siesta Key took the number one sport in a poll of the top 10 beaches of the USA because of its powdery sand and clean blue-colored water, as well as its topographical characteristics and beach activities.
Siesta Key isn't the only beach in Sarasota, FL; our big little city has more than 40 miles of coastline and you’ll find the best beaches on the six barrier islands just off the coast in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Artist
When it comes to art and culture, residents of Sarasota can take their pick of a long list of entertainment venues and organizations to stretch their artistic muscles. The Sarasota Orchestra, the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, the Sarasota Ballet, Asolo Repertory Theatre, Florida Studio Theatre, the Sarasota Players, the Art Center Sarasota, and many more organizations are just waiting to delight and entertain you year-round. These venues also don't include the many galleries located throughout the historic streets of Sarasota, FL.
The Fitness Enthusiast
Prospective homeowners wanting to live an active and healthy lifestyle can do so with the golf and country club community's fitness facility featuring state-of-the-art equipment as well as a variety of fitness classes like Yoga, dance classes, or Pilates to help keep members fit and healthy.
