A Legacy for the Modern Day

The steadfast souls of centuries past joined in the pioneering efforts of Sarasota's founder, J. Hamilton Gillespie, taking simple paper plans and creating the city, the streets and the businesses to bring the dream of Sarasota to fruition. Leaving behind a society of distinctive style and grand tradition, the Sarasota region is cited still today as Florida’s Cultural Coast, and recognized as an artistic, cultural and recreational destination.

From the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico, to the many sophisticated art galleries and cultural venues, Sarasota is certainly a jewel in Florida’s Gulf coast. Though seemingly tucked away within a landscape miles from it all, The Founders Club lies just a short distance from the wonder of Sarasota’s rolling white-sand beaches, the conveniences of downtown, and the city’s exciting mixture of attractions, restaurants and shopping.
