Sarasota & Bradenton
Golf Vacations & Packages

Considering its namesake, it would be easy to think that Manatee County is all about life in the slow lane. It could be, of course, if that's what you're looking for. Like the Manatee itself - that gentle, slow-moving giant found in the waters around here - you could keep it in low gear all day long. If you do, however, you'll be missing the boat, the bus and some sensational golf. There are simply too many lovely layouts in Manatee County - as well as in Sarasota County just to the south - to justify sitting around in your Bermudas (or should that be: on your Bermudas). And it's especially true if you're visiting here during the winter. You'll have plenty of time to "chill" when you get back home.

Planning Your Golf Vacation
