Tara Golf & Country Club opened in 1989 within the Tara community in Bradenton, on Florida's central west coast. It is a private, equity-owned club and bundled community, with membership tied to property deeds and transferring with the property.
Alongside championship golf, the club offers tennis, aquatic sports and fitness facilities, dining and a range of social activities for members and their families.
The setting places the club a few miles north of Sarasota and roughly forty miles south of Tampa, within reach of area beaches, shopping, theaters, museums, sports venues and several airports.
