Stoneybrook Golf & Country Club

What Stoneybrook Golf & Country Club does

Stoneybrook Golf & Country Club is a privately held, single-location private country club operating as a bundled golf community on Palmer Ranch in Sarasota, Florida. The club's core product is an 18-hole championship golf course and practice facility designed by Arthur Hills (with Kipp Schulties), integrated into 165 acres of ponds, wetlands and natural areas that come into play on 17 of 18 holes. It offers six tee placements to accommodate golfers of all abilities. Membership and golf privileges are included with every home purchase in the gated community, which is the central commercial mechanic: the club does not sell standalone initiation-fee memberships, instead acquiring members through real estate transactions within Palmer Ranch.

Beyond golf, the club operates a full lifestyle amenity set including Har-Tru tennis courts, a fitness center, a heated swimming pool and bocce ball courts, supported by an active social calendar, golf and tennis leagues, and member events. Dining is led by Executive Chef Zeke Wentworth and includes casual and special-occasion offerings, while a dedicated Food and Beverage Manager (George Quinn) runs a wedding, banquet and special-events business with downloadable banquet packages. The target customer base is segmented across active-lifestyle seekers (vacation, snowbird, year-round residents) and real estate investors within the community.

Operations are supported by the Clubessential platform for the club website, private member portal, event booking and core club management. Go-to-market is direct sales-led, with prospective members and event inquiries routed through the Administrative Office and dedicated phone lines for the Clubhouse, Golf Shop and Dining. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; membership economics are embedded in home purchase transactions, while dining and event pricing is available upon inquiry. The entity is incorporated in Florida as Stoneybrook Golf and Country Club of Sarasota, Inc., has no disclosed parent company, and reports no venture or private equity backing, funding rounds or M&A activity in the available data.
