Bobby Jones Golf Complex

Bobby Jones Golf Complex is a 45-hole municipal facility named for the legendary Robert Tyre Jones, Jr., who personally dedicated the facility on Sunday, February 13, 1927.

The original 18 holes were designed in 1926 by Donald Ross. Nine additional holes were constructed in 1952 and another nine were added in 1967. The John H. Gillespie Executive Course was completed in 1977.

I play this course quite often with friends. I'd say it is pretty average overall, but they don't overcharge for the product so we go because it is cheaper than some other nice courses in FL. During the winter (dry season in FL) the rough gets burnt out (not uncommon down here). They usually keep the greens in the pretty good shape and course overall is a pretty good value. There is a small driving range at the course, but they discourage hitting driver off of it.

The course is owned by the City of Sarasota. Don't go here if you like to yuk it up with the Starter and chat it up in the club house after the round. The employees treat you like you are next in line at the DMVGǪ a bit off putting if you are used to a friendly attitude at your local course.
