Golf passes in Naples and Fort Myers: annual cards, resident rates and winter memberships

Golf passes in Naples and Fort Myers range from a $325 summer membership at an executive course to a $12,000 annual pass at Stoneybrook. The most useful for snowbirds is the Coral Oaks menu in Cape Coral: $2,090 for a year of green fees, $5,190 with cart, or $1,200 for nine months that skip January to March. The Fort Myers city courses are not selling new memberships.

Because most courses here are private, a pass at a public course is how many snowbirds get a home course without buying into a club. This guide lists every pass, membership and resident rate in our files, with the terms, and works out when each pays off. Prices were read on club pages on November 3, 2026, and change each season.

Golf passes in Naples and Fort Myers compared

All prices from club pages read November 3, 2026, except where marked.

Coral Oaks: the snowbird's pass menu

Coral Oaks is Cape Coral's city course: 6,623 yards, 73.0/138 from the back, with a range, chipping area and practice bunker. Its daily rate in January 2026 was $90 with cart ($70 twilight, $55 walking), and $65 for Cape Coral residents.

The three passes suit different winters. The Unlimited Golf Pass ($5,190 single) covers green fees and cart; at $90 a round, it pays for itself after about 58 rounds, which is a full-time golfer's year. The Annual Season Pass ($2,090 single) covers green fees only, so you pay cart each time; it suits someone who plays a lot but wants a lower upfront cost. The 9-Month Play Pass ($1,200) skips January to March but still gives 20% off daily fees in those months, which tells you when demand peaks. A junior add-on is $400. See Cape Coral golf courses.

Stoneybrook: the premium pass

Stoneybrook in Estero is the most serious public test in the area, 7,314 yards and 75.6/143 from the Champions tees. Its annual pass is $12,000 single or $20,000 for a couple, plus tax, with no cart fees, 60-day booking against a 1-week public window, range use and three free guest rounds a month. With January-April morning rates at $199, it pays off at about 60 peak-season rounds. Stoneybrook also sells in-season and off-season monthly golf options (prices by phone) and range passes at $220 for a month, $450 for 3 months, $600 for 6 months and $1,000 a year.

Eagle Lakes and Hibiscus: Naples-side value

Eagle Lakes, east of Naples, sold its annual passes out for 2026, but its 24-Round Fall Pass ($1,200 plus $25 cart per round) works out to $75 a round with cart, against daily rates of $89 to $109 in November-December 2026. A 3-year pass runs $30,000 single or $50,000 for a couple.

Hibiscus in East Naples stays public until spring 2027, when it closes to be rebuilt as a members-only club. Its 2026-27 Frequent Player Card gives 20% off all rates, which topped out at $159 with cart in fall 2026; the card's price was in a scanned PDF we could not read. Juniors 15 and under pay $50 for 18.

Summer and executive-course passes

For snowbirds who arrive early or locals filling the summer:

• Bonita Fairways, an 18-hole executive course in Bonita Springs, sells its "Summer Golf Package" as an annual membership: $550 single, $750 couple, $950 family, with free range balls, 7-day advance booking and reciprocal privileges.
• Myerlee, a par-60 in Fort Myers, sold a May 1 to September 30, 2026 membership for $325 plus $10 cart per round.
• Hideaway Country Club in Fort Myers sells annual outside memberships and a summer membership; the public plays only May to October.
• The Dunes on Sanibel offered 2026 summer memberships (prices not read), and guests of The Inns of Sanibel get a resort membership during their stay.
• Hunter's Run in Cape Coral sells memberships and golf passes, and Lehigh Resort Club sells a 10-Play Pass (pay for 9, play 10, within 60 days).

Fort Myers city courses: pay by the round

Fort Myers Country Club and Eastwood are the cheapest real golf in the area, but the city FAQ says new memberships are not being offered at this time. Gulf Shore Business reported in 2025 that the city's annual passes were rising, with a resident nine-month pass at $1,200 for post-2022 sign-ups. For visitors, the value is the daily rate: $70 with cart before noon in November 2026, $35 after 3 pm, or $20 walking after 3 pm, tax included.

Resident rates and discounts

• Coral Oaks: Cape Coral residents paid $65 in January 2026, about $25 less than visitors.
• Valencia: 10% off for Florida residents (weekends before noon, with Florida ID) and military; juniors 15 and under free with a paying adult.
• Shell Point: Shell Point residents paid $75 for 18 in November 2026 as non-members, and resident memberships were $3,105 single.
• Babcock National: a daily range pass is $30.

Memberships at clubs that sell to outsiders

A few clubs with no public tee times sell memberships to non-residents, with prices not published: Pelican Preserve (golf memberships open to non-residents), Vineyards Country Club (Full Golf Memberships for residents and non-residents), Quail Village Golf Club, and River Hall, which also welcomes outside guests in summer. Public-access ArrowHead, Spanish Wells, Westminster and Burnt Store sell memberships too. These are long-term commitments rather than winter passes; see private golf clubs in Naples.

Does a pass pay off?

Count your rounds honestly. A snowbird playing twice a week for three months plays about 25 rounds. At that pace, Eagle Lakes's fall pass or a Coral Oaks season pass can pay off; the Unlimited and Stoneybrook passes need far more golf. Remember that most passes lock you to one course, so pair one with a rotation: see the snowbird golf schedule for Naples, cheap golf in Naples, Naples golf rates and Naples winter golf for snowbirds. For a comparison with desert club cards, see Palm Springs golf passes.
