Evans Prairie Country Club

Evans Prairie Country Club's Killdeer and Osprey courses represent the collaborative work of architects Clifton and Ezell in southwest Florida's Collier County. The facility offers two distinct eighteen-hole layouts that navigate the characteristic terrain of the region, where flatness is punctuated by water features, preserved wetlands, and strategic bunkering. The courses take their names from native bird species common to Florida's Gulf Coast prairies and marshlands, reflecting the property's natural setting. The routing on both courses incorporates the area's environmental features, with holes playing alongside lakes, retention ponds, and native vegetation zones typical of southwest Florida golf design. Players encounter the region's prevailing winds and must manage water hazards that come into play on multiple holes. The layouts provide variety through different tee configurations, allowing the courses to accommodate a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest for better players. Evans Prairie operates as a country club serving the residential communities in this part of Collier County, an area that has seen considerable golf course development over recent decades. The club provides a traditional country club experience with both golf and social amenities for its membership. The dual-course setup offers members regular variety in their play, a feature that distinguishes the facility within the competitive Naples-area golf market.
