Before you book
| Access | Membership club wrapped around The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburon. The hotel FAQ says hotel guests have access, and guests of the sister beach hotel (The Ritz-Carlton Naples) use the free shuttle and book as resort guests. Tee times are reserved through the club's ezlinks system (tiburon.ezlinks.com) or the golf department (239-254-3340). GolfNow/TeeOff facility pages exist for both courses but whether non-guests can book in season was not confirmed; GolfPass lists a resort stay as required. |

Local knowledge
- The Gold is the tournament course (Grant Thornton Invitational each December), so expect pre-tournament prep and closures in early-mid December; dates not confirmed.
- Staying at either Ritz-Carlton is the practical way in; book tee times with the room.
- Reviewers rate the Black higher and harder; play both if you are staying three nights.
