Meadows Golf Club Opens in Sarasota, Welcomes Public Play

June 19, 2026

When Arnold Palmer Golf Management took the reins in March, a deliberate choice was made to prioritize course conditions over calendar pressure. That patience paid off, when the club celebrated with a ribbon cutting alongside the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance, complete with a bagpiper to set the tone. The ceremony was made even more special by the presence of two valued community alliance partners, First Tee of Sarasota/Manatee and Folds of Honor, and a special thank you goes to Nathan Benderson Park Conservancy for raising a glass to mark the occasion.
