Members of the Sarasota National community in Venice, Florida, have approved a renovation master plan by Fry/Straka.

The multi-million-dollar project, which will start in spring 2026, will focus on enhancing the course’s playability, improving sustainability and embracing the natural beauty of the native community’s wetlands and preserves.

Fry/Straka’s plan is to redesign the course, rebuild all greens to USGA specifications, rebuild and reshape bunkers, regrass all fairways, rough and tees, and install a new irrigation system.

Architects Dana Fry and Jason Straka will also oversee the expansion and renovation of the practice facility to include a 47,000-square-foot putting green and a 1.75-acre short-game area.

 “This renovation represents an exciting new chapter for Sarasota National and our golf community,” said Sarasota National’s general manager Darrell Wilde. “With the expertise of Fry/Straka, we are committed to elevating the course’s playability, sustainability, and overall golf experience while preserving the natural beauty that makes Sarasota National so special.”
