About Us

Palm Aire Country Club is a member-owned equity club governed by a member-elected Board of Governors. This is an active and vibrant country club with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where members consider themselves part of a family and believe the Members Make the Difference. When you join us, you’ll find people from all walks of life, from all parts of the US and Canada (and even Europe), all dedicated to one thing: having a good time surrounded by people they like, respect, and enjoy. Group activities form the core of life at our club. Golf, tennis, padel and pickleball are the major attractions, but we also feature activities surrounding the visual arts, food and wine, gardening, and a host of card-playing groups from bridge to gin. This is a place where lifetime friendships are formed and nurtured.

Our club boasts two stunning 18-hole championship golf courses: The Champions Course and The Lakes Course. The Champions Course was designed by renowned architect Dick Wilson in 1957 and updated by architect Michael Benkusky in 2021, while The Lakes Course was designed by famed architect Joe Lee. Our Group Play option is a hit among members, promoting a sense of camaraderie and improving the pace of play. With multiple teeing areas, including "blended tees," our courses provide a level of challenge that suits any golfer. Our practice facilities are state-of-the-art and include a first-class driving range, two putting greens, and a chipping green complete with sand traps.  

At Palm Aire Country Club, you can enjoy playing tennis, pickleball, and padel. The club features eight top-quality Har-Tru tennis courts, six of which are equipped with lights for evening play. Pickleball is also a popular sport at Palm Aire, and with eight dedicated courts, it's easy to join in on one of the fastest-growing sports. We recently added a lighted padel court to our Athletic Center. This exclusive offering is one of the fastest-growing racquet sports in the world.  Improve your game with the assistance of our skilled professional instructor or just practice with a tennis or pickleball machine. 

Discover the ultimate country club experience at Palm Aire Country Club, one of the largest and most well-equipped clubs in the greater Sarasota area. Our prime location, just minutes from downtown Sarasota and gulf beaches, and virtually adjacent to the Mall at University Town Center, offers the perfect setting to enjoy the private country club life and all your recreational needs.
