Tara Golf & Country Club
Tara is a Ted McAnlis design in Bradenton that opened in 1989, playing to a par of 72 and measuring about 6,765 yards from the back tees, with a USGA rating of 72.7 and a slope of 137. That slope is the number to notice: it is among the higher figures in the market and it says the course asks real questions of a mid-handicap player.
A membership at Tara covers more than the golf. It takes in the tennis courts, the fitness centre, golf cart rental and the swimming pool and spa, which is worth knowing when comparing the dues against a club where the cart fee arrives separately every round.
The club does not publish its membership pricing or category structure on a public page, and nothing here invents it.
