There is no better time to plan a well-deserved golf getaway than National Golf Month, celebrated annually in August. For those looking for the finest golfing experience in the nation, The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Sarasota is the place to be. 

Imagine a golf course where velvet greens gently undulate around 12 shimmering lakes, where each of the 18 holes is expertly framed to be both challenging and rewarding. The only thing more beautiful than the game at hand is the surrounding view, designed by Tom Fazio, where the golf course resides 13 miles away from the resort. Play this par-72 course, and you will see why no golf vacation will ever be the same.
