I have played each of the courses below multiple times and can verify that these are certainly among the best golf experiences we have in SW Florida. My criteria was that the course should be enjoyable, challenging but not frustrating, has excellent facilities, and provides a beautiful Florida landscape of natural beauty. On your trip to SW Florida I can arrange for you to play these and other courses.
PELICAN MARSH GOLF COURSE, NORTH NAPLES
The location of Pelican Marsh is superb...right in the heart of dynamic North Naples. Nearby you will find the Gulf beaches access near the Ritz Carlton, shopping and restaurants at Waterside Shops, and many more places to sip coffee, have a casual or fine dinner, and take in a movie. Membership initial fees of $25,000 to $37,500.

Olde Cypress is located on Immokalee Road in North Naples, about 3 miles east of I-75. This community was built by Stock Development, one of our premier developers and builders in SW Florida. The course is marked by, yes, olde growth cypress trees and is a lovely course. 2009 initiation fee $15,000 ( limited time offer).

COLLIER'S RESERVE, NORTH NAPLES
"The World's First Audubon Signature Sancturary"
This gorgeous 18 hole course, located on Immokalee Road in North Naples, is a true golf and nature experience. The course is challenging and fair, but what you will remember is the incredible landscaping and natural vegatation that frames each hole. Membership plans of $40,000 (non-resident) and $75,000 (resident).

QUAIL CREEK COUNTRY CLUB, NORTH NAPLES
The two wonderful Arthur Hills courses, built in 1980 and 1982, make Quail Creek truly one of Naples' best golf experiences. Each course has its own personality and length, with the Creek Course being 600 yards longer than Quail. The greens are spotless and the fairways are fair but challenging, and the homes of the community do not come into play except for the most vicious of slices or hooks. The recently reduced membership fee of $35,000 makes Quail Creek one of our best bargains.

MEDITERRA COUNTRY CLUB, SOUTH BONITA SPRINGS
The Bonita Bay Group, one of SW Florida's premier developers, has created a superb 36 hole golf paradise at Mediterra. Divided by the Lee and Collier County lines, Mediterra is seen more as Naples than Bonita Springs, and its location offers easy access to everything. This lushly landscaped course and community also has the finest private beach club in our area. Membership plans from $40,000 to $185,000, including the beach club.

THE VINEYARDS, NORTH NAPLES
The Vineyards has two distinct 18 hole courses. The South Course is a Florida style layout, and the North Course is a links course. Both are very fair and challenging, and like the rest of The Vineyards, highlighted by very attractive landscaping. The Clubhouse at The Vineyards always seems to win the "Best of Naples" award. Flexible membership plans of $9,000 to $35,000.

Another immaculate 36 hole layout by The Bonita Bay Group, located in The Brooks development in Bonita Springs. As seen by the photo of the fairway and green below, the course is extremely well manicured. Fairways are wide and smooth, and many of the greens are framed by palms as you see below. Initation fee of $35,000 for full membership, which also includes the Shadow Wood Preserve course a few miles north, for a full 54 holes.
