The Club at Pelican Bay's Bay Course is an Arthur Hills design situated within the Pelican Bay planned community in Naples, on Florida's southwest Gulf Coast. Hills, known for his work throughout Florida and the Midwest during the 1970s through 1990s, created this layout as part of the club's multi-course offering. The course reflects Hills's characteristic approach to Florida golf design, working with the region's flat terrain and incorporating the area's natural wetlands, native vegetation, and water features into the routing. The Bay Course plays through a landscape typical of coastal Southwest Florida, with palm-lined fairways, strategic bunkering, and water hazards that come into play on multiple holes. Hills shaped the relatively level property to create visual interest and strategic variety, using mounding and contouring to define playing corridors and frame greens. The design emphasizes shot placement over pure length, with water management and accurate approach play being central to scoring well. The Club at Pelican Bay operates as a private equity club serving the residential community, offering members access to multiple courses and extensive amenities. The Bay Course complements the club's other layouts, providing a distinct playing experience within the Pelican Bay development. The course benefits from the area's year-round playing season and the mature landscaping that has developed since the community's establishment in the 1970s and 1980s.
