Naples Lakes at Naples Lakes Country Club

Naples Lakes, tucked within the golfing mecca of Southwest Florida, is defined by its meticulous commitment to Arthur Hills' original vision. Carved from the characteristically flat landscape of Naples, the course utilizes strategic mounding and water features to create visual interest and tactical challenges on nearly every hole. While not particularly long by modern standards, its narrow fairways and subtly contoured greens reward thoughtful course management over sheer power.

Hills' design philosophy, prominent in the late 20th century, emphasizes playability for members of all skill levels. Gentle doglegs and strategically placed bunkers subtly dictate the path of play, without overwhelming the average golfer. The course doesn’t favor any particular style of play, though its firm Bermuda fairways tend to give the ball ample run, much to the joy of those who favor chasing the ball along the ground.

The atmosphere at Naples Lakes is decidedly social. It is a club where after-round gatherings are as common as birdies. Known locally for its convivial membership and lively events calendar, the club offers a balanced blend of competitive golf and relaxed camaraderie, underscored by a robust calendar of social events in the clubhouse.
