About Bobby Jones Golf Complex - Ross Course (Sarasota)

The Bobby Jones Golf Complex Ross Course in Sarasota is a historic public facility named after the legendary amateur champion Bobby Jones, who had deep ties to Sarasota. The Donald Ross-inspired design occupies a central Sarasota location on Circus Boulevard, surrounded by the city's signature canopy of oak and palm. The complex is one of Sarasota's most beloved public golf institutions, offering accessible play in a city that increasingly trends toward private and semi-private club culture. The Ross Course specifically reflects classic design sensibilities — undulating greens with subtle borrows, strategic bunkering, and a layout that rewards shot-shaping and course management over raw power. The city of Sarasota's management ensures affordable rates that keep the course genuinely accessible to the community. Its central location makes it a convenient choice for tourists staying in downtown Sarasota or Siesta Key.

History

The Bobby Jones Golf Complex has served Sarasota as a public recreational facility for many decades, named in honor of legendary amateur champion Robert Tyre Jones Jr., who had strong connections to the Sarasota area. The complex underwent significant renovations in the 2010s to modernize facilities while preserving the classic design character of the courses, and it remains central to Sarasota's public golf identity.

Sarasota visitors and residents who want an affordable central-city round with classic design character and genuine community atmosphere.
