Over 60 Golf Courses, and numerous tennis courts, that include Leddbetter/Bollitierri’s IMG Sports Facility and Pinebrook / Ironwood golf club, await your arrival.

IMG offers weekend, one week, multiple weeks, or an entire summer of athletic advancement... with some of the industry’s top coaches and trainers.

Notables who’ve honed their skills at IMG have declared this area home. Tennis stars Martina Navratilova, Maria Sharapova and Monica Seles as well as golfing greats Paul Azinger and Tony Jacklin have settled in the area.

If looking for public facilities, there are six lighted courts at the end of 62nd Street in Holmes Beach.

Baseball enjoys a rich tradition at Bradenton’s McKechnie Field where the Pittsburgh Pirates conduct their spring training and the Bradenton Marauders fill summers with minor league play.

Just minutes north, is the Skyway Bridge to St. Petersburg for more baseball with the Tampa Bay Ray’s.

If coming in July, the Gulf of Mexico explodes with rooster tail plumes featuring the Sun Coast Off shore Grand Prix Races. This nationally sanctioned American Power Boat Race is the highlight of a 10 day festival.
