Item Description
A two-night stay and two rounds of golf at the elegant Gasparilla Inn and Club in Boca Grande, Florida.
Walking through The Gasparilla Inn’s pillared entrance and into the lobby, you experience the feeling of Florida as it was meant to be. Guests are instantly embraced with the tranquil civility of a time that once was -- and still is -- at this classic resort. At the same time, you realize that activity and fun abound, from a championship Pete Dye Golf Course to a 220-slip marina that is home base for the best tarpon fishing in the world.
The Gasparilla Inn & Club has been a premier destination on Florida’s Gulf Coast since 1913. It offers 141 rooms, suites and cottages in a pristine environment at the tip of Boca Grande Island. Owned by the William S. Farish Jr. family, the Inn has played host to many notables throughout its storied history, including Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Thomas Edison, Katharine Hepburn, the George H.W. Bush family, members of the duPont family, Brit Hume, and others. Built originally to appeal to wealthy Northerners who could go anywhere, the Inn is the center of village life on the island. It offers separate golf and beach club memberships, as well as the hospitality of the Inn, itself. Many local residents and others from throughout the country are members of those clubs and have privileges of the Inn’s facilities.
