Golf in Englewood

Englewood is a community spanning the Sarasota-Charlotte county line at the southern end of the Gulf Coast residential corridor south of Sarasota. Five courses serve the area — Boca Royale Club, Lemon Bay Golf Club, Myakka Pines Golf Course, Oyster Creek Golf Club, and Wellen Park Golf & Country Club — drawing from the retirement and year-round residential base of this Gulf Coast community. No hole-count data is in public records for these courses. The Lemon Bay shoreline, the Peace River estuary to the north, and the access to Englewood Beach on Manasota Key define the natural setting. The golf market here is sustained primarily by the year-round retirement and residential population rather than the tourist economy.
