The Meadows Country Club sits in southeastern Sarasota, part of a master-planned residential community that developed during Florida's growth period in the 1970s and 1980s. Frank Duane designed the course to work within the relatively flat terrain characteristic of this part of the Gulf Coast, incorporating water features and strategic bunkering to define holes and create playing interest where natural elevation change is minimal. The layout reflects the era's approach to resort-area golf in Florida, with generous fairway corridors, multiple sets of tees to accommodate different skill levels, and water hazards that come into play on a significant portion of the holes. The course winds through neighborhoods of single-family homes and condominiums, with mature landscaping that has developed over the decades to frame holes and provide definition between properties. The Meadows serves primarily as a member amenity within the broader residential community, hosting regular club events and social golf throughout the year. The club maintains facilities typical of Florida country clubs from this development period, including dining and social spaces that function as a gathering point for the community. The course operates in a climate that allows year-round play, with seasonal membership patterns reflecting the influx of residents during winter months when many northern golfers seek warmer conditions.
