Nowhere in the world is golf as well played and well enjoyed as it is in Florida. It has a lot to do with the fact that Florida enjoys some of the nicest weather on a year-round basis – that means the fairways are always waiting for golfers with open arms. But when you consider the terrain of Southwest Florida in particular, you better understand why it is the golf Mecca those in the know claim it to be.

Southwest Florida, home to Bonita Springs, Naples, Ft. Myers – all world golfing capitals – boasts natural landscapes that are perfect for molding the most varied and challenging golf courses possible. That’s why course architects and designers like Nicklaus, Fazio, Lewis, Hills, Maddox and Pate have worked so extensively here. The terrain provides the ultimate canvas for any type of course they can imagine. Natural lakes, canals, creeks and rivers along with protected preserves, wooded acreages and varied elevations combine in endless combination to create courses to please any and all skill levels.

In Bonita Springs alone there are multiple communities built around the golfing lifestyle. The stand-outs include The Brooks, Spanish Wells, Bonita Bay and Pelican Landing.

All stunning, all offering unmatched lifestyles including estate homes, single-family, carriage and cottage homes, condominiums and villas, blended with every amenity you can think of – have some you probably haven’t even dreamed about. Imagine the convenience of golf right in your own backyard! Not to mention the striking scenery that accompanies all of these courses.

But the best thing about golf in Bonita Springs is that is available to all. There are public courses, resort courses, semi-private and private courses. Below you will find a list of courses found in Bonita Springs, along with their designers and also a rundown of some of the finest golfing lifestyle communities in the area.
