About this course

Sorrento Par 3 occupies a modest footprint in Nokomis, a coastal community on Florida's Gulf Coast between Sarasota and Venice. Roy Albert Anderson designed the course, which serves as a short-game facility for golfers seeking practice or a quick round in the region's year-round playing climate. The layout consists entirely of par-3 holes, typical of executive courses that emerged across Florida in the mid-to-late twentieth century to accommodate retirees, beginners, and players with limited time. The holes play over relatively flat terrain characteristic of the barrier island and coastal plain geography, with distances that allow golfers to work through most clubs in the bag without the commitment of a regulation eighteen-hole round. Sorrento functions primarily as a neighborhood amenity and accessible option for casual play. The course sits within a region dense with golf facilities ranging from resort tracks to private clubs, offering an alternative for those prioritizing convenience and pace over championship length. Water features and native vegetation common to southwest Florida likely frame several holes, though the emphasis remains on straightforward shot-making rather than severe hazards or dramatic elevation change. The facility reflects the practical golf culture of Florida's Gulf Coast, where short courses provide both training grounds for developing players and relaxed outings for established ones. It serves its local community without pretense, maintaining the unpretentious character typical of many par-3 layouts throughout the state.

Getting there

Sorrento Par 3 Golf Course sits just south of Sarasota on Florida's Gulf Coast, most easily accessed via Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), a twenty-minute drive north. The route follows the Tamiami Trail southward through a low-key stretch of Old Florida - modest motels, seafood shacks, and glimpses of Dona Bay - before turning west toward the barrier islands. This is Nokomis in its unhurried essence: a quiet coastal pocket where the journey feels less like arrival at a destination than a gentle downshift into the rhythm of Gulf-side golf.
