No One Is Teed Off In Naples

Located on the southern Gulf Coast of “The Sunshine State”, Naples, Florida is a city with class, sophistication, and a great dose of unhurried living. Naples just seems to move at a slower pace than some of the other resort towns along Florida?s coast. The city contains galleries, sophisticated boutiques and restaurants that are a number of the best in the region, as well as outdoor sports and activities. The family oriented guest activities of Orlando and Daytona are replaced in Naples by beaches, fishing, shopping, and golf.

Naples has a surprising number of beach vacation rentals and golf courses, given its relatively small size. Most of the courses can be found in the suburbs, though the Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club, in the center of Naples, offers a respectably challenging 18 holes. Reservations for a tee time should be made well in advance.

The Eagle Lakes Golf Club in Naples is centrally located and is known as one of the more desirable community courses in the region. The 18-hole course features 7,150 yards to play, from the longest tees, and has a par of 71. The course was established in 2006 by Bruce Devlin.

The Links of Naples was opened in 2000 and was designed by Signature Golf. Signature continues to manage the 18-hole course. The Links has 4,000 yards of golf and a par of 61. The course rating is 58.7 and reviews indicate that the night golf option is particularly popular as the entirety of the course is illuminated for night play.

A short distance away, the Golf Club at Fiddler?s Creek offers guests 7,157 yards of play on 18 holes. The course was designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 2002. The general manager is Ron Albeit and comments for the course are very positive.

Ten miles from the center of Naples, the Hammock Bay Golf Course at Hammock Bay is known for its exceptional variety of holes and excellent turf. The course is 7,000 yards long and has a par of 72. It was designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge in 2004. The prices in the tourist season can be quite steep, but it is comparatively affordable in the off-season.

Finally, the Lely Resort Golf and Country Club is situated just southeast of Naples and has been in operation since 1991. The course is part of a complete resort which contains 2 further championship courses, 3 resort style pools, 7 tennis courts, a spa and fitness center, 4 clubhouses, and 12 neighborhoods. The course is open to the community and features 7,217 yards of golf and a par of 72 . Centrally located bed breakfasts are conveniently near to the golf courses as well as the seashore. If not everyone in your family desires to spend their days golfing, Naples is also home to some of the finest beaches on the Gulf Coast, unique shopping, and a relaxed nightlife with delicious dining establishments, lounges, and clubs.
