Description

If you want to play the finest golf in Florida, you may have to slip through the gates of Naples’ dozens of country clubs. Among more than 100 courses here, only a handful allow public play; often outsiders have to be guests at resorts in these gated communities in order to play. Membership does have its privileges here.

Naples on southwest Florida’s Gulf Coast is famed for its sunsets, magnificent homes, dining, shopping, boating and fishing. But the star attraction is country club golf. Players in Naples are living in the Golf Capital of the World. After all, the top designers who have laid out private courses here include: Tom Fazio, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and Arthur Hills, and more.
