Experience University Park!
Beyond the stunning beauty, premier location and outstanding amenities that come with home ownership, residents enjoy lifestyle experiences and opportunities to engage socially that set us uniquely apart and offer significant benefits to our homeowners.
University Park is a private, residential community and recognized as one of the pre-eminent mature communities in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. It is gated with limited access, in addition to being manned 24/7 by on-site staff. There is also a back exit/entrance gate at Honoré Avenue activated by a radio frequency identification (RFID) decal affixed to vehicles for the convenience of our residents and Country Club members only.
Our community is governed by two volunteer resident boards who oversee the planning and operation of the community and the Country Club. Our community association boasts a strong balance sheet with substantial audited reserves and focused management of ongoing infrastructure improvements and upgrades that include a recent complete overhaul of our gate operating systems with easier access for our residents and visitors! In 2023, the Country Club added to its dining facilities with a three million dollar ($3,000,000) expansion which includes a new outdoor bar and café. The twenty-seven (27) hole golf course, the crown jewel of University Park, will shortly undergo major enhancement to ensure its continued rating among the best in southwest Florida.
WELCOME! And enjoy the on-site EXPERIENCE of University Park!

Rich History
In late 1980 local developer, Pat Neal, and international entrepreneurs, Rolf and Barbara Pasold, purchased three hundred (300) acres of pristine low pine flatwoods owned by State Farm insurance agents that was used as a hunting preserve. Painstaking planning of this 1,202 lot master-planned community took nearly five (5) years and the developers’ commitment to the preservation of the natural beauty of the property is still evident today and a tribute to the founding fathers.
Exceptional Lifestyle
University Park residents enjoy a vibrant and socially engaging lifestyle just minutes from the arts and dining in downtown Sarasota and world class beaches and recreation including Nathan Benderson Park. Club membership brings residents together on the golf course, tennis and pickleball courts and dining at our soon to be completed, fully renovated Clubhouse.
