About this course

Forest Glen Golf & Country Club sits in Naples, Florida, where the course has evolved through the work of three architects over its history. Gordon G. Lewis created the original design, establishing the routing through the native Southwest Florida landscape. Arthur Hills later contributed modifications that refined the layout, and Steven Forrest has also been involved in updates to the course, reflecting the common practice of periodic renovation at Florida country clubs as maintenance standards and playing preferences change. The course occupies terrain typical of the Naples area, with relatively flat topography punctuated by water features and native vegetation. Lakes and wetlands come into play on multiple holes, requiring strategic decisions off the tee and on approach shots. The design incorporates the region's natural pine and palmetto landscape, with generous fairways balanced by hazards that reward accuracy. Bunkers frame landing areas and greens in the architectural style common to Florida resort and residential courses from this era. Forest Glen functions as a private country club serving a residential community in Naples, offering the amenities typical of such facilities in this market. The club provides a setting for members seeking consistent playing conditions in Florida's year-round golf climate. The course reflects the evolution of Naples golf design, where original layouts have often been updated to meet contemporary expectations for conditioning, pace of play, and strategic interest while maintaining playability for a range of skill levels.
