The Eagles at Twin Eagles Golf and Country Club

The Eagles at Twin Eagles Golf and Country Club occupies a wooded site in northeastern Naples, where the development transitions from coastal plain to the edge of the Everglades watershed. Steve Smyers designed the course with Patrick Andrews, creating a layout that works with the property's natural pine flatwoods and cypress strands. The routing moves through corridors of mature vegetation, with fairways carved from native landscape rather than imposed upon cleared ground. Water features appear throughout, reflecting the region's hydrology, and the design incorporates sandy waste areas that reference Florida's scrubland character.

Smyers, known for naturalistic design work that emphasizes strategic options over forced carries, shaped greens with subtle internal contours and positioned hazards to reward thoughtful play. The course allows ground-game approaches on several holes while requiring aerial precision on others, creating variety in how players can navigate the layout. Elevation change is minimal, typical of southwest Florida, so interest comes from hole direction, green complexes, and the framing provided by vegetation.

Twin Eagles operates as a private club with two eighteen-hole courses—The Eagles and The Talon—serving a residential community. The club attracts members seeking access to well-maintained golf in Naples without the formality of some older coastal clubs. The Eagles has hosted regional amateur events and remains the more frequently discussed of the two courses among members, though both share similar design philosophies and landscape character.
