Cape Coral golf courses: Coral Oaks, Cape Royal, Palmetto-Pine and Hunter's Run

Cape Coral golf courses are few but all bookable: the city's Coral Oaks, Cape Royal's 27 holes, Palmetto-Pine and the nine-hole Hunter's Run. Coral Oaks is the pick: a real test from the back, a full range and passes that suit long stays. Cape Coral is about an hour from downtown Naples.

Fees were seen in November 2026 unless a date is given, and they change month to month.

Coral Oaks: Cape Coral's city course

Coral Oaks is the City of Cape Coral's municipal course in north Cape Coral, opened in 1988 and credited to Arthur Hills by long-standing listings. It runs through oaks, pines, water and wetlands and has the best practice set-up on this side of the river: a range with grass and artificial-turf tees, a chipping area, a putting green and a practice bunker. A renovation has been reported, year not confirmed.

Book on the course site, which says booking direct gets the best available rate. Daily fees are seasonal and set monthly. The January 2026 card, via a third-party copy, was $90 for 18 with cart, $70 twilight, $50 for nine, $55 walking and $65 for Cape Coral residents. Carts take two riders, and a spectator cart was $50.

Coral Oaks passes for 2026-27

• Unlimited Golf Pass: greens and cart, $5,190 single or $9,735 dual.
• Annual Season Pass: greens only, $2,090 single or $4,070 dual plus tax; you still pay cart each round.
• 9-Month Play Pass: $1,200 plus tax, excludes January to March but gives 20% off daily fees then.
• Junior add-on: $400.

The 9-Month pass suits snowbirds staying from May to December or arriving early. See the Coral Oaks course guide, our Coral Oaks Golf Course guide and other cards in golf passes in Naples and Fort Myers.

Palmetto-Pine

Palmetto-Pine is an older, tree-lined Arthur Hills club course from 1969 in a residential neighbourhood in south Cape Coral. It is a member club that sells public tee times up to 7 days ahead on its own site, while members book on a separate sheet. From the 6,590-yard Black tees it rates 72.0/125, and the Gold tees play 5,477 yards.

Public green fees are on the booking engine rather than the rates page, which lists only rentals ($50 for 18, $25 for nine, tax extra) and a twilight rate, playable until 30 minutes before sunset, without a price. Two house rules stand out: finish one to four holes before rain stops play and you get an 18-hole rain check, and no outside coolers or drinks are allowed. Bring a driver's licence to rent a cart. See the Palmetto-Pine course guide.

Cape Royal

Cape Royal is a 27-hole neighbourhood club in a gated part of southwest Cape Coral, with the King, Queen and Prince nines (per GolfLink) and a "quick nine" option. It sells public tee times on its own site, with the best rates booked direct, through the Gallus Golf app. Its 12-Month Pass gives unlimited golf and 15-day priority tee times; 2026-27 passes were on sale by inquiry, with prices not published. Rates are not published either, so check the booking page against Coral Oaks.

Cape Royal was one of the Troon clubs hardest hit by Hurricane Ian in 2022 and was taking bookings in November 2026. It is about a mile from the Westin Cape Coral. See the Cape Royal course guide.

Hunter's Run

Hunter's Run is a nine-hole par-30 executive in southeast Cape Coral, 1,948 yards from the Blue tees. It posts open-play hours for walk-ins: Sunday after 10:00, Monday and Tuesday after 8:00, Wednesday all day, Thursday and Friday after 7:45 and Saturday all day, with league times otherwise. Memberships and golf passes are sold. A third-party listing showed $20 in April 2026. Call 239-574-4454. It is a quick snowbird loop, not a trip course.

Nearby courses

Just north on the Cape Coral and Punta Gorda line, Burnt Store Golf & Activity Club has 27 holes of executive golf that welcome the public; see Punta Gorda golf. Across the river, Fort Myers' city courses posted $70 with cart before noon in November 2026; see Fort Myers golf courses. The cheapest rounds on both sides are in cheap golf in Naples.

Where to stay for Cape Coral golf

• The Westin Cape Coral at Marina Village: the resort choice, about a mile from Cape Royal; packages pair stays with nearby courses such as Eagle Ridge and Ibis Landing. Poorly placed for Naples golf.
• Hampton Inn & Suites Cape Coral: the value base in downtown Cape Coral, 12 minutes from Palmetto-Pine and 13 from Hunter's Run.

Getting there and around

Cape Coral is across the Caloosahatchee from Fort Myers. The Cape Coral Bridge (from College Parkway) and the Midpoint Memorial Bridge (from Colonial Boulevard) both charge all-electronic LeeWay tolls; the rates were not verified for this guide. The free US 41 and Edison bridges cross further upriver to North Fort Myers. RSW is about 25 minutes from downtown Fort Myers, so allow a little more to reach the Cape.

Timing and storms

Coral Oaks' 9-Month pass skipping January to March tells you when demand peaks. Summer is cheapest but stormy, and the city did not publish 2026 aerification dates. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30; Ian hit this coast hardest in 2022. See hurricane season golf in Florida.
