The Old Collier at The Old Collier Golf Club

Nestled in the heart of Naples, The Old Collier Golf Club offers a pure golf experience steeped in tradition and camaraderie. Designed by Tom Fazio, the course subtly recalls an earlier era of strategic golf that rewards thoughtfulness as much as power.

The Old Collier, built on a relatively flat parcel of land, offers generous fairways that belie the challenges that await. The course subtly favors a right-to-left ball flight, bending its doglegs ever-so-slightly in that direction. While length isn't the primary defense, the positioning of bunkers, particularly around the greens, demands careful consideration on every approach. Known for its fast, true greens, the course challenges even the most skilled putters to read subtle breaks.

While not a regular stop on any professional tours, The Old Collier attracts a membership of avid golfers drawn to the unpretentious atmosphere and Fazio's thoughtful design. A walking-only course further enhances the connection to the land and the spirit of the game. The club is known for its strong member participation, with lively matches and a shared passion for the traditions of golf.

And if you see a member order a “Collier Cooler” at the turn, don't be afraid to ask what it is. It’s not on the menu, but it’s a favorite among the regulars.
