On the shores of Little Sarasota Bay, in the heart of Sarasota County, there is a rare treasure known as The Oaks. It was established nearly a century ago as the dream home for Chicago grande dame Bertha Honoré Palmer, who particularly enjoyed this area. She built her home, “The Oaks,” on the site of today’s prestigious country club. The Oaks today is a dynamic community that continues to raise the standard for luxury living.

Not unlike Mrs. Palmer, residents of The Oaks come from around the world in pursuit of their personal expression of the art of fine living. They seek convenient access to the Gulf of Mexico or the endless opportunities of Sarasota, considered one of the finest places to live in the country. They crave the character and sense of community that can only be found in well-established neighborhoods, and they will accept nothing less than the elegance that comes with mature beauty.

One would expect a community of such stature to offer a world-class club and indeed, The Oaks Club is without precedent. Owned and governed by its members, this private club exists solely to enhance their lives. Its clubhouse is a microcosm of the community in all its magnificence and vitality, and serves as the intergenerational hub where neighbors become friends and lasting relationships are forged. Two championship golf courses offering the finest playing experience in Sarasota, a professional tennis facility, and a delightful pool and cabana area are also available for the enjoyment of every Oaks member.

For decades, The Oaks has attracted and enthralled people who seek the perfect synergy of tradition and timelessness. You can join those who have embraced its exceptional lifestyle.
