The layout winds through a protected nature preserve, and the conditioning is consistently among the best in Southwest Florida.

Located about 30 minutes east of Naples in Estero, Old Corkscrew Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus Signature design that regularly appears on Golf Digest's best-of lists. The course sits on 390 acres of preserved wetlands and native Florida landscape.

There are no homes lining the fairways — just you, the course, and the wildlife.

Old Corkscrew plays long and tough from the back tees but offers plenty of flexibility from the forward tees. The par-3 seventh hole, playing over wetlands to a peninsula green, is one of the most photographed holes in the region.

Green Fee Range: $79–$229 depending on season

Best For: Golfers who want a premium experience without the resort atmosphere

Tiburon Golf Club at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort offers two Greg Norman-designed courses, and the Gold Course is the standout. Home to the LPGA Tour's CME Group Tour Championship, the Gold Course features wide fairways, strategically placed coquina waste bunkers, and fast, undulating greens.

Resort guests get preferred tee times and rates, but outside play is available. The clubhouse and facilities are Ritz-Carlton quality, which means everything from bag drop to the post-round dining is polished.

Check Ritz-Carlton's website for stay-and-play packages.

Lely Resort's Flamingo Island Course is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design that delivers dramatic Florida golf. With its iconic mounding, large greens, and generous fairways, Flamingo Island is both playable for higher handicaps and engaging for low ones.

Lely Resort also offers the Mustang and Classics courses, making it a great base for a multi-day golf trip. The resort pricing is competitive, especially during summer months.

Green Fee Range: $55–$175 depending on season

Calusa Pines Golf Club is a hidden gem east of Naples that consistently ranks among the top public courses in Florida. The course is carved through towering slash pines, and the design emphasizes shot-making and course management over distance.

This is a walking-friendly course — a rarity in Southwest Florida — and the club actively encourages it. The greens are some of the truest in the region. If you can only play one course in Naples, many locals would tell you to make it Calusa Pines.
