SARASOTA, Fla. – It’s been nearly three years since Sarasota City Commissioners made the decision to protect the Bobby Jones Golf Club.
It has a vast history, but also plays an important part in the local ecology.
During COVID, the City of Sarasota transformed part of the course into nature trails and the feedback was well-received.
In a few months, upgrades will be coming to the trails to give them a lasting legacy.
