West Bay at West Bay Golf Club

West Bay Golf Club in Estero, Florida, is a Pete Dye design completed in 2000 with assistance from his son P.B. Dye. The course occupies land in Southwest Florida's coastal plain between Fort Myers and Naples, an area characterized by flat terrain, native wetlands, and stands of pine and palmetto. The Dyes worked with this topography to create a layout that incorporates water features, waste bunkers, and the angular bunkering and railroad-tie bulkheading typical of Pete Dye's design vocabulary.

The routing makes extensive use of the site's natural water features, with several holes playing along or across lakes and wetland areas. The design includes the strategic options and visual intimidation that define Dye's work—forced carries, diagonal hazards, and greens with pronounced contouring. The course stretches over 7,000 yards from the back tees, though multiple tee boxes provide flexibility for different skill levels. Waste areas and native vegetation frame many holes, giving the layout a rugged appearance despite the developed residential surroundings.

West Bay functions as a semi-private facility, serving both members and outside play. The club operates within a residential community in Estero, a town that has grown considerably in recent decades as part of the broader Southwest Florida development boom. The course provides a Dye experience in a region where his design style is less common than the parkland and resort courses that dominate the Naples-Fort Myers corridor.
