Naples golf courses: every course from Naples to Fort Myers, playable ones first

Naples golf courses number 145 on our map, from Naples up through Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers to Punta Gorda, but most are private. Only 37 sell tee times to visitors: 17 public and 20 semi-private. Five more take guests of particular resorts. This guide puts the playable ones first, then the guest routes and the private clubs.

Every fee below was seen in November 2026 unless a date is given, and rates change by month and by how full the tee sheet is.

Quick facts

• On the map: 145 course records, 103 of them private.
• Bookable by anyone: 37 (17 public, 20 semi-private), plus Panther Run in Ave Maria and Webb's Reserve at Babcock Ranch off the map.
• Resort-guest only: five courses, for guests of the two Ritz-Carltons, LaPlaya and the JW Marriott Marco Island.
• Closest public course to downtown Naples: Hibiscus, about 9 minutes; it goes private after April 2027.
• Grass: bermuda everywhere; almost nobody overseeds, and summer is aerification season.
• Time zone: Eastern, the same as Ontario and Quebec.

Naples golf courses you can book

These are the main regulation courses in the Naples and Bonita-Estero half of the map that anyone can book, with the back tees and the fee seen.

Two short courses round out this half: Bonita Fairways, a par-61 executive where GolfNow summer 2026 hot deals ran $28 to $33 with cart, and The Leaf, Saltleaf's walking-only par-3 nine. Lakewood Country Club in East Naples appears on a public-course list, but that is not confirmed with the club, so call first.

Our Lely Flamingo Island course guide and Stoneybrook course guide go deeper on the two strongest public tests. For a ranked short list, see the best golf courses in Naples, and for every public course from cheapest to dearest, public golf courses in Naples.

Fort Myers, Cape Coral and the courses north of Naples

The Fort Myers side has more bookable golf than Naples and lower prices, but it is 40 minutes to over an hour from downtown Naples.

• City courses: Fort Myers Country Club, a 1917 Donald Ross course, and Eastwood both posted $70 with cart before noon for November 2026, booked 7 days ahead on foreUP. See the Eastwood course guide. Cape Coral's city course, Coral Oaks, charged $90 in January 2026 and $65 for Cape Coral residents.
• Semi-private and public: Shell Point ($125 from 10am in November 2026), Ibis Landing ($99 before noon, November-December 2026), The Club at Westminster, San Carlos, Eagle Ridge, Palmetto-Pine, Cape Royal and Magnolia Landing.
• Islands and the far north: The Dunes on Sanibel ($69 from November 1-15, 2026, then $130), Sanibel Island Golf Club and, in Punta Gorda, Babcock National, which takes public bookings only 3 days ahead.

The full breakdown is in Fort Myers golf courses.

Courses only resort guests can play

Some of the best-known names on the map are not open to the public. They are open to guests of one hotel:

• Tiburón Gold and Tiburón Black: Greg Norman's two courses wrap around The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón, and guests of the beach Ritz-Carlton, Naples use a free shuttle and book as resort guests. The Gold is 7,382 yards (76.0/137); the Black is 74.6/147 from 6,949. Fees are dynamic and not published.
• LaPlaya Golf Club: a Robert Cupp course for guests of LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort and club members only.
• The Rookery at Marco and Hammock Bay: owned by the JW Marriott Marco Island for its guests and members. Both are on the mainland, not on Marco Island.

Private Naples golf courses

103 courses on the map are private. Most are members-only clubs or bundled communities where golf comes with the house. Visitors play them as a member's guest, and in some bundled communities a seasonal renter may get golf privileges, depending on club rules.

• Old Naples and central Naples: Hole in the Wall, Moorings, the three Grey Oaks courses, Royal Poinciana and Country Club of Naples.
• North Naples: Club Pelican Bay, Old Collier, Bay Colony, Quail West, Mediterra and Calusa Pines.
• East Naples: TPC Treviso Bay, Fiddler's Creek, Lely's Classics and Cavu, the former Naples Grande course, where Naples Grande Beach Resort guests are no longer eligible to play.
• Bonita and Estero: Bonita Bay Club's five courses, The Nest (formerly Pelican's Nest), the three clubs at The Brooks and Pelican Sound.

Closed and changed courses

Several Naples golf courses have closed or changed hands, and old listings still show them:

• Golden Gate: closed August 1, 2019. Its replacement, The Gate, a nine-hole public course on county land, was preparing to open in December 2026; earlier targets slipped, so treat that as a target.
• Naples Beach Hotel course: closed with the hotel. The rebuilt Tom Fazio course at Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort is expected in early 2027, and who may play it has not been published.
• Riviera Golf Club: marked closed since March 2023.
• Old Corkscrew in Estero: ended daily golf; it is becoming a private club.

See closed golf courses in Naples for what to play instead. Palm Springs has the same private-heavy pattern; compare it in Palm Springs golf courses.

Booking and timing

January to April is peak season, with the highest fees and the busiest tee sheets. Booking windows vary: 7 days at the Fort Myers city courses, Palmetto-Pine and Ibis Landing, 90 days at Saltleaf, 30 days online at Valencia and 1 week for the public at Stoneybrook. Summer is cheapest but brings afternoon storms and aerification closures. The details are in Naples tee times and the best time to golf in Naples.

Where to stay for the most courses

The public Naples golf courses are spread thinly, so the base matters more than the hotel. Three patterns work:

• Bonita Springs or Estero, in the middle: Hyatt Regency Coconut Point adjoins Saltleaf, and the Embassy Suites Estero by I-75 at Corkscrew Road is 6 minutes from Stoneybrook. RSW is about 15 to 25 minutes away.
• East Naples, for Lely and Eagle Lakes: the Hampton Inn & Suites Naples East is 4 minutes from Hibiscus, and renters at GreenLinks at Lely Resort get tee-time priority and discounts on Flamingo Island and Mustang.
• Downtown Fort Myers, for the cheapest golf: Hotel Indigo Fort Myers is 6 minutes from Fort Myers Country Club.

Room prices follow the snowbird season: Collier County hotels averaged $487.60 a night in February 2026, against $230.25 in Lee County from January to March 2026.
