The 19th Hole, Redefined

A private backyard putting green with two holes featuring American flags, golf balls, and a margarita in a coupe glass.

The best games on Anna Maria Island don’t require a scorecard or a formal tee time. Sometimes, the most rigorous part of the afternoon is simply deciding whether to aim for the far flag or take another sip of a perfectly salted margarita. There is a certain quiet luxury in having a private green just steps from the patio—a space where the only real deadline is the approaching golden hour.

While the boutiques of Pine Avenue are always worth a stroll, there is much to be said for staying exactly where you are. Here, the pace is dictated by the soft click of a golf ball and the crisp, citrus notes of a cold drink in the sun. It is an effortless kind of competition, where the stakes are low and the relaxation is high. These are the slow, sun-drenched hours that stay with you long after the suitcases are unpacked. We invite you to settle in and create your own version of a perfect island afternoon.
