Pelican Marsh at Pelican Marsh Golf Club

Pelican Marsh Golf Club occupies a residential community setting in North Naples, designed by Robert von Hagge and opened in the early 1990s. Von Hagge, known for dramatic bunkering and water features throughout his Florida portfolio, shaped this course around the natural wetlands and preserve areas characteristic of Southwest Florida's coastal plain. The layout threads through a landscape of native vegetation, lakes, and marshland that provides both strategic challenge and habitat for the region's wading birds and wildlife.

The routing makes extensive use of water hazards, with several holes playing along or across wetland areas that demand precise approach work. Von Hagge's signature style appears in the sculpted bunker complexes and elevated greens that create visual drama against the flat terrain. The course serves a private membership within the larger Pelican Marsh community, which developed during Naples' residential expansion in the 1990s.

The property reflects the evolution of Naples golf from its earlier, more modest layouts to the amenity-rich country club communities that became standard in the area's northern corridor. While not a tournament venue or nationally ranked design, Pelican Marsh represents the type of well-maintained residential course that defines much of Southwest Florida golf, offering members a walkable layout integrated into preserve lands that maintain some of the region's original ecological character.
