Husband and I just relocated to Sarasota in 2013 and joined for summer to try it out. The Champs course was going irrigation improvements and therefore closed most of the time. The Lakes course although beautiful was overcrowded with constant shotguns and groups and school student classes. Tennis: they have a group of "oldies" that want to play with you but would not socialize beyond the the tennis court. They would invite each other to get-togethers right in front of us and not even ask us if we would like to join, too! To be fair we joined again in 2014 - same story. Both golf courses were available but one of the two greens was demoed, the second therefore overcrowded. Tennis crowd turned even snobbier. They turned over three restaurant managers in 18 months. All younger personnel quit. Food mediocre at best - not to have sourdough bread in two years? Athletic center: outdated equipment, always smelled of bleach, no group activities or classes offered. Horrible broken showers, no spa and no sauna or steam room. Staff (husband and wife) are only available till noon, and even then mostly for the wife to join tennis doubles, the husband to give a private tennis lesson. After two years of trial we are leaving and will not come back.

I first played the Champions course in 1968. In those days The course was named Desoto Lakes. I would play with my Grandfather who lived on Longboat Key...I also know Joe Lee who built the Lakes very well. I worked for Arvida and Joe built River Hills in Valrico. The point of all this is that The Champs and the Lakes have a History to them that is special to only a few golf courses around the world. No other course in Sarasota Bradenton Area can make that claim... Makes me feel young again to spend a day at Palm Aire. The Professional staff makes me feel welcome every time I walk in the Pro Shop....Chris Ayles Life Member PGA

On a recent family trip to Sarasota I had the opportunity to play the Champions Course at Palm Aire Country Club with my grandfather. My experience could not have been better!! The course was in perfect condition and the staff was very friendly! I loved the fact that we were able to play in the morning shotgun and we were done playing under 4 hours! Excellent Excellent!!! I look forward to being back in the near future!

This review is of the tennis facility. parking close by, average shop. Nice covered seating area at the shop and near some of the courts. Clay courts and a few hard courts. Nice intimate venue.

Beautiful golf course. A few challenging holes but you should expect that on a course like this. The greens werent as fast as I had expected. Looking forward to playing there again.
