Misty Creek Country Club

What Misty Creek Country Club does

Misty Creek Country Club is a privately-held, membership-based golf and social club operating from a single 350-acre nature preserve at 8954 Misty Creek Drive in Sarasota, Florida. Its core asset is a Ted McAnlis-designed par 72 championship course featuring 18 holes and seven tee options ranging from 4,595 to 6,895 yards, supported by a clubhouse with The Grill Room dining on the second floor, a driving range and practice facility, an on-site golf shop, and dedicated event spaces for tournaments and corporate outings.

Revenue is generated across five streams: recurring membership dues (Platinum Golf, Gold Golf, Twilight Golf, Social, and Summer tiers at family and individual levels), usage-based daily green fees ($49-$79 in summer), pro shop merchandise (with a 10% member discount), clubhouse dining, and hosted golf outings and corporate events. Distribution operates through a direct-to-consumer, membership-led motion — website inquiry forms, phone sales via the Pro Shop and general line, weekly eClub email marketing, and a teeitup.com third-party booking integration. The club is professionally managed by Coral Hospitality, which provides reciprocal playing privileges across its affiliated properties (including Riverwood Golf Club) and runs Jonas Club Software for member administration.

The target customer mix combines primary golf-playing individuals and families, social members seeking clubhouse amenities without full golf access, summer/part-time Florida residents, and corporate groups booking tournaments and events. The business is asset-heavy and geographically concentrated in a single Florida location, with no disclosed financials, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity.

• Invited (formerly ClubCorp): Largest owner-operator of private golf and country clubs in the U.S. Same underlying business model (membership dues, F&B, events) but at national scale and across a portfolio of properties rather than a single local asset.
