Bradenton Country Club
Bradenton Country Club is a private, member-owned club in Bradenton, Florida, built around a 1924 Donald Ross-designed golf course. The club was originally named Palma Sola Country Club and was renamed Bradenton Country Club when the city changed its name from Bradentown to Bradenton.
The course was restored in 1999 by Ron Garl and renovated in 2018 by Hall of Fame golfer Tony Jacklin, CBE. It is a walkable, historic layout with no interior roads or homes bordering the fairways.
