Recreational amenities Golf, swim, and tennis clubs Sugarmill Woods Country Club Punta Gorda Developers christened the Polynesian-styled Sugarmill Woods Golf and Racquet Club (later renamed Sugarmill Woods Golf and Country Club) in 1975 with the opening of the course's first nine holes, which they named the "Cypress" course. The private club features a full gourmet restaurant, bar, pro shop, meeting space, tennis courts and a large L-shaped swimming pool. The golf course's architect was Ron Garl. In 1979, the developers added the nine-hole "Pine" course, and in 1984 completed the 27-hole complex with the opening of the "Oak" course. Today, the course operates 18 holes, including the Cypress and Pine courses, a driving range, the pro shop, the restaurant, a fitness room, and the swimming pool. Membership structures currently include access to Southern Woods and World Woods clubs.

The private club offers golf, a driving range, practice green, chipping green, a gourmet restaurant, grill room and bar, and convertible event/meeting space.
