Hunters Ridge at Hunters Ridge Golf and Country Club

Hunters Ridge Golf and Country Club occupies a residential community setting in Bonita Springs, positioned in Southwest Florida between Naples and Fort Myers. Gordon G. Lewis designed the course, contributing to the region's golf development during a period of significant growth in Lee County's country club communities. The layout serves a private membership within a master-planned development that characterizes much of this coastal area's expansion.

The course navigates relatively flat Southwest Florida terrain typical of the region, where elevation changes are minimal and water features play a significant role in both strategy and aesthetics. Lewis incorporated lakes and wetland areas into the routing, creating hazards that define landing zones and approach angles on multiple holes. The design reflects the architectural conventions of Florida resort and residential courses from its era, with Bermuda grass fairways and greens suited to the subtropical climate.

Mature landscaping now frames many holes, with native palms and tropical vegetation providing definition between corridors. The course operates within the broader amenity package of Hunters Ridge, which includes tennis facilities and a clubhouse serving the residential community. The layout provides a walking-distance golf option for residents while maintaining the groomed conditions expected in Southwest Florida's competitive private club market.

Bonita Springs' position along the Gulf Coast places Hunters Ridge among numerous golf communities that define the area's character, offering members a home course within a region known for year-round play and seasonal population shifts.
