Bobby Jones Golf Course<\/strong> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Bobby Jones Golf Club<\/a> is located on Fruitville Road between I-75 and downtown Sarasota.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a municipal golf complex with an 18-hole Donald Ross design, restored by Richard Mandell on Ross’s original plans, a 9-hole adjustable Gillespie Course that can be played five different ways with 30 hole options, a 25-acre practice facility with 70 hitting stations, a 3.75 acre short game area with three chipping greens and two teardrop target greens, and a 21,000 square foot putting green. The Championship course meanders through wetlands and water features along mounded fairways defined by trees and tropical shrubry with modest, raised greens protected by Ross’s trademark sand bunkers. There’s six tee boxes from 4,583 yards to 6,714 yards, the Blue tees play to 6,061 yards, 69.4\/126, course\/slope ratings. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
