Oak Ford Golf Club

Oak Ford Golf Club is a nine-hole course on Palm View Road in eastern Sarasota County, in a semi-rural area inland from the Gulf Coast. The layout plays 3,330 yards at par 36 with a driving range on site. Palm View Road runs through a section of Sarasota County that transitions from suburban development into more open agricultural and natural land, giving the course a different character than the coastal private clubs in the same county.

A par-36 nine at 3,330 yards is a full-regulation design where each hole plays at a real length rather than abbreviated pitch-and-putt distances. Eastern Sarasota County has several private clubs including Misty Creek and Heritage Oaks, and Oak Ford provides a public alternative at a standard price point for golfers who want a genuine nine-hole round without the private membership commitment. The driving range makes it a reasonable stop for practice alongside a round.
