For members seeking other fitness activities, a golf course path is accessible after daytime play for walking and cycling. Also, the junior Olympic pool is heated year round for those who enjoy swimming and aquatic aerobic exercise.
The genteel sport of croquet is also played at The Oaks Club on a well-manicured court. Lessons and friendly competition are available to anyone interested in pursuing this game.
The Oaks Club’s spectacular location on Little Sarasota Bay makes access to nearby marinas easy. Deep water sailing or fishing are just a short drive from the Club entrance.
Tennis, golf, recreation, and an active lifestyle will always be a part of the fabric that makes The Oaks Club unique. It is distinguished, above all, by the natural Florida landscape.
Respectful of its pristine environment, The Oaks Club employs environmentally sound practices that protect the habitat of bobcats, egrets, sandhill cranes, turtles, blue herons, and many other native species. There is also a ten-acre bald eagle preserve in Oaks Bayside, which provides a safe nesting place for this noble bird. The natural shoreline of Little Sarasota Bay includes mangroves, beach elder, and sea myrtle growing in profusion. Inland, stately oaks and exotic palms of many varieties enhance this tropical paradise.
