The Sarasota Herald Tribune's Readers Choice Awards has recognized Forest Lakes as a finalist in two of the past three years. The par-71 course weaves majestically through 6450 yards of oaks and palms and offers the unique combination of affordability and championship golf. Forest Lakes is known as the "In-Town" golf club because of its close proximity to downtown Sarasota and the Gulf beaches. We have a driving range, two practice greens and lessons by a PGA professional. Tee times may be reserved five days in advance.
For evening entertainment try CJ's, our main restaurant, for dinner and dancing in a bistro setting. (Voted first place in Sarasota as the "Best Place to Dance" by the Sarasota Herald Readers Choice Awards.) Call 941-921-7979 for dinner reservations.
