Explore the Host Course
Bradenton Country Club is home to an award-winning Donald Ross design that has stood the test of time. Originally built in 1924, the course was thoughtfully restored in 1999 by renowned architect Ron Garl, preserving Ross’s classic layout while enhancing playability for the modern game. In 2018, further renovations were led by World Golf Hall of Famer Tony Jacklin, CBE.
Voted Best Private Golf Course in Manatee County by The Bradenton Herald’s People’s Choice Awards, the club has become a premier venue for high-level competitive golf. It played host to the 2025 LPGA Founders Cup, welcoming the game’s best female professionals. Bradenton CC has also served as the site for numerous FSGA and USGA championships and qualifiers, including the 2023 Florida Mid-Amateur Championship and the 76th Florida Open Championship in 2022.
