Pelican Bay, home to 27 holes of golf in the heart of Naples, reflects a design philosophy keenly aware of its coastal setting. The original routing, crafted by Arthur Hills, presents a playable yet strategic challenge, marked by generous fairways that subtly penalize errant tee shots with strategically placed bunkers. These aren’t links-style courses, but rather, courses that embrace the surrounding natural habitat, rewarding thoughtful approaches and a deft short game. The prevailing winds and water hazards, especially prominent on the Club course, demand careful club selection and course management. While Pelican Bay hasn't hosted any major professional championships, it remains a coveted setting for high-level amateur events, drawing a competitive membership keenly interested in maintaining the course's playability and beauty. The club's active tournament calendar fosters a tight-knit community, bolstered by the club's reputation for its social atmosphere. Post-round gatherings often feature the club's signature stone crab claws, a Naples staple and a favorite among members. The club is considered one of the more reputable clubs in the Naples area and offers the best of what Naples has to offer, and is a community driven facility. Pelican Bay offers members a variety of amenities and club settings for every occasion.
