About this course

The Verandah Club's Old Orange course is a Bob Cupp design located in Fort Myers on Florida's Gulf Coast. Cupp, who worked extensively with Jack Nicklaus before establishing his own practice, brought his characteristic attention to strategic variety and playability to this layout. The course serves as one of two eighteen-hole tracks at this residential club community in Lee County. The routing takes advantage of Southwest Florida's relatively flat terrain, with Cupp incorporating water features, native vegetation, and elevation changes created through shaping to define holes and frame playing corridors. The design reflects Cupp's philosophy of offering multiple routes and risk-reward options suited to different skill levels, with strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward thoughtful course management. Palm trees, live oaks, and native grasses typical of the region provide the landscape character. The Verandah Club operates as a private equity club serving its residential membership. The facility includes the companion Whispering Oak course, also designed by Cupp, giving members access to thirty-six holes. The club's amenities extend beyond golf to include tennis, fitness, and dining facilities that support the community's year-round and seasonal residents. The Old Orange name likely references the area's agricultural heritage, as citrus groves historically dominated much of Lee County before residential and resort development expanded in the latter decades of the twentieth century.
