For more than 60 years, Longboat Key Club has been a defining part of the Gulf Coast lifestyle, offering members and guests a place where recreation, relaxation and connection come together naturally.

Set across 410 acres on a barrier island, Longboat Key Club is a private membership club and coastal resort designed for those who want regular access to the very best of the Gulf Coast—without the friction of planning a trip or traveling far from home.

Here, a day can unfold almost effortlessly. A morning round of golf might be followed by lunch overlooking the water, an afternoon on the beach, and dinner at the marina. For others, the perfect day may include a tennis match, a fitness class, time at the spa or simply a quiet walk along the shore.

What makes Longboat Key Club unique is not any single amenity, but the ease of moving between so many experiences in one place.

The club offers 45 holes of golf, a nationally recognized tennis and pickleball program, a robust fitness center, private beach access, a full-service spa, marina and multiple dining venues. For many members, the club becomes less of a destination and more of a natural part of everyday life, a place they can return to without having to overthink how they want to spend their time.

Recent updates to the resort’s guest rooms and suites have added an even more refined residential feel to the property. With Gulf-facing views and a softer, contemporary design, the accommodations feel current while maintaining the character and sense of place that have made Longboat Key Club a cherished destination for generations.

That combination of consistency, privacy and coastal beauty has long been part of the club’s appeal.

“There’s a tendency to look elsewhere for experiences like this, when in reality, it’s already within reach,” says the Longboat Key Club team.

For Sarasota-area residents who regularly leave town for golf weekends, spa days or coastal getaways, membership offers an opportunity to keep those experiences closer to home. The value is not simply in access to exceptional amenities, but in knowing what awaits each time you return.

Longboat Key Club is also a natural setting for bringing people together. Whether hosting visiting family, gathering with friends or celebrating a special occasion, members have a place that feels welcoming and effortless.

Beyond the club itself, Longboat Key Club maintains an active presence in the surrounding community, including involvement with the Longboat Key Chamber and resident-focused events. Its leadership also participates in organizations such as the St. Armands Circle Association, reinforcing the club’s connection to the broader Sarasota community.

While every season brings something special, fall and early winter offer a particularly enjoyable time to experience the club before the height of season arrives. The quieter pace, combined with an active calendar of social events, gives members another reason to make the club part of their regular routine.

Whether used as a regular retreat, a place to host, or a nearby escape for family and friends, Longboat Key Club offers something increasingly rare: the opportunity to enjoy the Gulf Coast with ease.
