Fiddlesticks Country Club
About this course
The Wee Friendly course at Fiddlesticks Country Club in Fort Myers serves as the facility's short course, designed by Ron Garl to complement the club's two regulation eighteen-hole layouts. Garl, a Florida-based architect who has worked extensively throughout the state since the 1970s, created this par-3 course as both a practice facility and an enjoyable routing in its own right. The course reflects the design principles Garl has applied across his Florida portfolio, working with the region's flat terrain and incorporating water features and strategic bunkering. Fiddlesticks Country Club sits in the Fort Myers area of Southwest Florida, a region that has seen substantial golf development since the mid-twentieth century. The property features the characteristic landscape of inland Southwest Florida courses, with stands of native vegetation, water hazards that serve both aesthetic and drainage purposes, and relatively modest elevation changes. The Wee Friendly course allows members to work on their short game or play a quick nine holes without committing to a full round on the championship courses. As a par-3 layout, the course provides variety in hole lengths and shot requirements while maintaining a pace suitable for practice rounds, family play, or twilight golf. The design incorporates enough challenge to keep accomplished players engaged while remaining accessible to higher-handicap golfers and juniors developing their games. The course functions as part of the broader amenity package at Fiddlesticks, which operates as a private club serving the Fort Myers residential golf community.

Getting there
Fiddlesticks Country Club is most readily accessed via Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), situated approximately thirty minutes north of the club in Fort Myers proper, or through the smaller and more discreet Page Field (PGD), a preferred private aviation gateway just fifteen minutes away for those traveling by charter. The drive south from RSW traces the gentle spine of southwest Florida's Gulf Coast corridor, transitioning from commercial sprawl into the quieter residential enclaves and manicured landscapes that define this corner of Lee County. As you approach Fiddlesticks, the flat, palmetted terrain opens into the club's gated sanctuary - a serene compound where mature oaks frame the entrance and the unmistakable hush of an established private club settles around you. The final turn into Fiddlesticks Country Club marks the threshold between the everyday world and a place designed for unhurried rounds and the kind of discretion that defines membership in one of Florida's most respected private communities.
