Overview
The Oaks Club is a private club in Osprey, south of Sarasota, with two 18-hole, par-72 courses, Eagle and Heron. Both were originally laid out by Willard Byrd; the Eagle course was renovated by Arthur Hills in 2007 and the Heron course by Hurdzan Fry in 2015.
Membership is linked to owning property in one of the club's three gated neighborhoods: The Preserve, Clubside and Bayside, each with 24-hour security.
The club also offers tennis and pickleball courts, a 7,500-square-foot fitness center, dining and member-led interest groups.
