Longboat Key is an 11-mile-long island located to the northwest of Sarasota offering world class golf courses and resorts as well as beautiful private homes and condos that encompass the boating lifestyle, tennis, and golf. White sand and turquoise waters make up the tropical and tranquil environment that runs the entire length of the coast. It offers waterfront dining options on the bay and is the future home of the St. Regis hotel and residences on the Gulf of Mexico. Voted by Golf Digest as one of the “Best Places to Play”, The Resort at Longboat Key Club features 45 holes of world-class golf. Play a round on the Harborside Course lined with trees and overlooking Sarasota Bay, or try the Island side Course on the Gulf of Mexico. Both are as challenging as they are beautiful. Longboat Key offers a quiet respite from the hustle & bustle of downtown Sarasota, yet its proximity to our beautiful city allows you to enjoy all it has to offer.
