Which one is right for you?



Naples, Florida, is a golfer’s paradise, offering a wide range of golf communities that cater to different lifestyles and budgets. Understanding the differences between bundled, equity, non-equity, and public golf communities helps buyers choose the perfect fit.


Bundled Golf Communities

In bundled communities, membership is automatically included with homeownership. This creates a lively atmosphere but can mean busier tee times.

  • Examples: Stonebridge, Heritage Bay, Naples Lakes.


Equity Golf Communities

Equity clubs require a large upfront investment, giving members ownership shares and exclusive access. They offer prestige and luxury amenities but come with higher costs.

  • Examples: Grey Oaks, Mediterra, The Quarry, and Royal Poinciana.


Non-Equity Golf Communities

Membership is voluntary—homeowners can choose whether to join. This flexibility appeals to buyers who want the lifestyle without mandatory golf costs.

  • Examples: Pelican Marsh, Quail Creek Village, The Club at Pelican Bay.


Public & Semi-Private Golf Communities

Public courses allow anyone to play, while semi-private clubs mix memberships with public access. They’re ideal for seasonal residents or casual golfers.

  • Examples: Tiburón (home to the PGA Tour’s QBE Shootout), Lely Resort, ArrowHead Golf Club, Valencia Golf  & Country Club


Choosing Your Lifestyle

  • Bundled: Affordable, social, but busy.

  • Equity: Exclusive, prestigious, but costly.

  • Non-Equity: Flexible, voluntary, lower risk.

  • Public: Accessible, casual, less exclusive.


Naples offers something for everyone—from the inclusivity of Stonebridge, the flexibility of Pelican Marsh, the variety of Lely Resort, to the tournament excitement of Tiburón. Whether you’re a serious golfer or simply love the lifestyle, Naples has the perfect community waiting for you.
