Sarasota Golf Club to be sold, developed into housing
SARASOTA – Chris Hatton bought his home in 1998, in part because it had a nice view of the Sarasota Golf Club’s links.
But now, the peaceful greens, the palms and the moss-covered oak trees that line the 15th fairway in his backyard will be ripped up to make way for more houses.
The club, one of Southwest Florida’s oldest public courses, will close for good on Memorial Day as the owner finalizes plans for a new residential development.
