This 6-7 foot gator was hanging out on the Highlands course # 12 water hazard. My ball landed about eight feet away. So... Analyzing which club would be best for my shot AND self defense.

We have alligators... if you visit Sarasota they will not be hard to find. Just go to any golf course or large water retention pond.

Tropical Beach Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"This property is wonderful. Stayed here in May 25 and again October 25. We will be back. All staff are wonderful."

The Westin Sarasota

10/10 Excellent

"The restaurant service is quite slow considering that only two or three tables were occupied each time we visited. On one occasion, I ordered a filet mignon medium-well, but it was served well-done. On a positive note, breakfast was very good, although the avocado had some bad sections that should have been removed before serving. There is also room for improvement in the common areas. Several ceiling lights in the walkway from the restaurant to the parking lot are out or missing, and broken lights are visible in the planters near the outdoor tables. In addition, some electrical outlets are exposed to water, which could pose a safety concern."

Ameniti Bay, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I stayed a couple of days twice in this month. Check in and out was fast and easy. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. The pool was clean and spacious. Parking was easy. Staff was pleasant. Cleaning staff does excellent work. The only thing I wish they had was a restaurant. "
