The Naples-Marco Island, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area, is located a short hop from Fort Myers on the Sunshine State's southwest coast. Naples Florida considers itself to be the golfing capital of the world. This is hard to contest, considering the area boasts no fewer than 80 championship golf courses.
Barring the occasional hurricane, the area is suitable for golfing all year round, although the quietest months are November and December, before the winter peak season begins. Whatever your budget, you can find prices to suit. Green fees can be on the high side, although using an online booking system can also save you money. During the off season, you can still find a few dozen public courses and the occasional private course still open for serious golfers.
Near to Eagle Lakes Community Park and adjacent to Rookery Bay National Estuarine Reserve lies a particularly challenging course. It bears a lot of water features and some immaculately crafted bunkers. Expect to run through a lot of golf balls. A particularly challenging course lies north of the city's botanical garden. This course has been sculpted with undulating greens, tight fairways and stacked, sod wall bunkers. Also nearby are vineyards and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park.
