Lakewood National Car Service

Two Tom Fazio courses and the Korn Ferry Tour’s LECOM Suncoast Classic, minutes east of Bradenton. Sarasota is the 25-minute gateway — we run the transfer on the clock so the round, or the tournament day, starts on schedule.

What to Expect

Transportation, timed to the tee sheet.

Lakewood National sits in the heart of Lakewood Ranch, close enough to Sarasota–Bradenton that a fly-in group can land and reach the range in half an hour. The two Fazio courses and the annual Korn Ferry Tour stop pull a steady mix of buddy trips, corporate outings and tournament-week hospitality — all of which travel better on a pre-arranged chauffeured transfer than a post-flight rental.

  • Clubs and luggage loaded for you
  • One vehicle for the whole group
  • Return leg timed to your flight home

Airport → Course Transfers

From the gate to the first tee.

Sarasota–Bradenton is the natural gateway at roughly 25 minutes, with St. Pete–Clearwater and Tampa International as northern options along I-75. We track your flight, meet you at the gate, and run the short leg east into Lakewood Ranch.

  • SRQ airport pickups ~25 minutes out
  • TPA and PIE covered along I-75
  • Host-hotel shuttles across the Sarasota corridor
  • Flight tracking so we are there when you land

Groups, Clubs & Luggage

The whole foursome, together.

Buddy trips and corporate outings come to play both the Commander and the Piper over a few days, and we keep the whole party and their clubs together. Tournament week adds sponsor and pro-am moves that we stage to the schedule.

  • Executive SUVs for smaller groups with clubs
  • 14-passenger Sprinter vans for larger parties
  • Group Sales–scale moves for outings of 21+
  • Sponsor & pro-am shuttles during tournament week

The Chauffeured Round-Trip

No one drives after the last round.

A chauffeured round-trip means nobody drives back to the hotel after a long tournament day or a closing round — the transfer time becomes part of the trip. We hold standby vehicles through the event days so guests always have a discreet ride waiting.

  • No one driving after the last round
  • Discreet, privacy-tinted executive vehicles
  • Standby vehicles held through tournament days
  • Standing account option for repeat visits

Lakewood National Car Service — FAQ

How far is Lakewood National from Sarasota airport?
Lakewood National sits in Lakewood Ranch, just east of Bradenton in Manatee County, roughly 25 to 35 minutes from Sarasota–Bradenton International (SRQ). St. Pete–Clearwater (PIE) is about an hour and Tampa International (TPA) around 55 to 70 minutes depending on I-75. SRQ is the natural gateway, and we run the short transfer on the clock so a fly-in group is at the range without ever touching a rental counter.
Can you handle transportation for the LECOM Suncoast Classic?
Yes. Lakewood National hosts the Korn Ferry Tour’s LECOM Suncoast Classic, and tournament week brings players, sponsors and corporate hospitality that all need reliable ground movement. We run airport transfers from SRQ, TPA and PIE, shuttle sponsor and pro-am guests between host hotels and the club, and hold standby vehicles through the long tournament days. See our dedicated LECOM Suncoast Classic page for event-week detail.
Which courses are at Lakewood National, and who designed them?
Lakewood National has two 18-hole Tom Fazio designs — the Commander and the Piper — inside a gated golf community in Lakewood Ranch. The Commander is the tournament course for the Korn Ferry Tour stop. It is a semi-private club, so play is generally tied to membership, resort stay-and-play, or tournament and outing access.
Do you serve the wider Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota golf corridor?
Yes — Lakewood Ranch is one of the country’s top master-planned communities and it anchors a whole Sarasota-corridor golf itinerary. We pair Lakewood National with other courses in the area, run point-to-point moves between clubs, and handle airport legs from SRQ, TPA and PIE. Our Lakewood Ranch golf transportation page covers the broader community.
Do you handle golf groups and their clubs to Lakewood National?
That is the core of what we run here. Buddy trips and corporate groups come to play both Fazio courses over a few days, and we keep the whole party and their clubs in one vehicle — executive SUVs for smaller groups, 14-passenger Sprinter vans for larger parties, with off-property pickups arranged around dinner and the beach.
