The Club at Pelican Preserve's Egret course is a Chip Powell design located in Fort Myers, Florida, part of a larger residential community in Southwest Florida's Lee County. Powell, who has designed and renovated numerous courses throughout Florida, created this layout to serve the community's membership within the natural wetland environment characteristic of the region. The course occupies relatively flat terrain typical of Southwest Florida, with routing that incorporates the area's native landscape features including wetlands, lakes, and preserved natural areas that provide habitat for the egrets and other wading birds that give the course its name. The design works within the constraints of residential development while maintaining playable corridors and strategic interest through water hazards and bunker placement. As part of a multi-course facility at Pelican Preserve, the Egret course serves members of the community alongside other layouts on the property. The club operates as a private amenity within the larger residential development, offering golf as part of a broader lifestyle-focused community in the Fort Myers area. The course reflects the practical design considerations of Southwest Florida golf, where drainage, water management, and playability in the region's warm, humid climate shape the character of the layout.
