Gateway Golf & Country Club sits in Fort Myers on Florida's Gulf Coast, designed by Tom Fazio and opened in the late 1980s as part of a residential community development. The course reflects Fazio's characteristic approach to Florida golf design during that era, working with relatively flat terrain to create strategic interest through careful shaping, water features, and native vegetation. The layout incorporates lakes and wetlands that are typical of southwest Florida's landscape, with these hazards serving both aesthetic and strategic purposes throughout the routing. The course plays through a residential setting with fairways framed by palms and tropical plantings. Fazio's design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining challenge through green complexes and water placement rather than severe length or forced carries. The conditioning and maintenance standards reflect the expectations of a private country club environment, with Bermuda grass surfaces suited to the subtropical climate. Gateway functions primarily as a members' club serving the Fort Myers residential community, with the golf course as the centerpiece of a broader country club amenity package. The facility includes typical club features such as dining, tennis, and social programming. The course has not hosted significant professional or national amateur championships, serving instead as a daily venue for member play and club competitions within the southwest Florida golf market.
