A $1.715 Million Esplanade Home with Full Golf Membership

Our clients purchased a beautiful Lazio floor plan offering more than 2,300 square feet of living space with three bedrooms plus a den and three full bathrooms.

The home closed for $1,715,000.

• Lake and golf course views
• Outdoor kitchen
• Extended covered lanai
• Motorized hurricane screens
• Whole-house generator

• Sonos audio
• HVAC replaced in 2024
• Extensive custom upgrades throughout

The combination of the home’s location, outdoor living, upgrades, golf membership, and Esplanade amenities made it an excellent match for our clients.

Why Esplanade Golf & Country Club Was the Right Fit

Esplanade Golf & Country Club has become a popular choice for buyers who want more than a traditional golf community.

The private championship golf course is a major attraction, but the broader lifestyle is equally important.

Residents enjoy amenities that include:

• Private 18-hole championship golf
• Resort-style pool and cabanas
• Bahama Bar
• Tennis
• Pickleball
• Bocce
• Fitness and wellness facilities
• Walking and biking trails
• Multiple dining experiences
• Wine tasting room and wine lockers
• Café
• Social clubs, activities, and events

That combination makes Esplanade particularly attractive to buyers who want to play golf while also enjoying a robust social and recreational lifestyle.

Full Golf Membership Was an Important Part of the Decision

One detail buyers need to understand when searching for homes for sale in Esplanade Golf & Country Club is that not every property offers the same golf privileges.

Esplanade has properties with Golf Memberships and Social Memberships.

For buyers who want year-round golf, understanding which membership is associated with a particular property is critical. A beautiful home may check every box, but if the membership doesn’t align with how often you want to play golf, it may not be the right property.

Our clients’ new home includes a Full Golf Membership, allowing them to immediately begin enjoying the golf lifestyle that was one of the primary reasons for their move.

It’s a perfect example of why we encourage golf buyers to evaluate the home and club simultaneously.

Esplanade Continues to Invest in Its Amenities

Another attractive aspect of Esplanade is the community’s continued investment in its recreational and social amenities.

Enhancement projects include:

• Renovated and expanded Bahama Bar
• Expanded outdoor bar at the Barrel House
• Expanded golf practice facilities
• Air-conditioned indoor pickleball complex with four courts

These improvements add to an already extensive amenity package and further enhance the resort-style experience Esplanade residents enjoy.

Choosing the Right Naples Golf Community

This closing highlights something we regularly discuss with buyers: the right community can be just as important as the right house.

Our clients already owned property in Naples. They weren’t simply trying to relocate to Southwest Florida or learn the market for the first time.

They knew Naples.

What changed was the lifestyle they wanted from their next home.

That’s why we start by understanding questions such as:

• How frequently do you want to play golf?
• Is immediate golf membership important?
• Do you prefer bundled or equity membership?
• How important is tee-time availability?
• Do you want an active social calendar?
• How important are dining and clubhouse amenities?
• Do you play pickleball or tennis?
• Do you want to own your own golf cart?
• What type of home and neighborhood do you prefer?
• Which part of Naples best fits your lifestyle?

The answers can dramatically narrow the field.

Naples has dozens of golf communities, but they don’t all offer the same experience. Understanding those differences can prevent buyers from making an expensive mistake and help them find a community they’ll enjoy for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Esplanade Golf & Country Club

Is Esplanade Golf & Country Club a bundled golf community?

Esplanade is considered a bundled golf community, but buyers need to understand an important distinction. Properties were designated with either Golf or Social Membership privileges, so not every home provides the same golf access.

Does every Esplanade home include a Full Golf Membership?

No. Some properties have Golf Memberships while others have Social Memberships. Buyers who want year-round golf should confirm the membership associated with a property before making an offer.

Can you buy a Social Membership home and upgrade to Full Golf?

No. Properties have either a Golf Membership or a Social Membership deeded to the property. To ensure golf privileges year-round, you need to buy a property with a Deeded Golf Membership.

Can Esplanade residents own their own golf carts?

Yes. Esplanade allows residents to own and use private golf carts on the course subject to the club’s current rules and applicable fees. This is a popular feature for buyers comparing Naples golf communities.

What amenities does Esplanade Golf & Country Club offer besides golf?

Esplanade offers a comprehensive resort lifestyle, including a community swimming pool, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, bocce, walking and biking trails, dining, wellness amenities, and an active calendar of social events.

Is Esplanade a good choice for frequent golfers?

Esplanade can be an excellent fit for golfers who want to combine regular golf with extensive resort and social amenities. During the season, golfers can play 2-3 times per week, including league play. Buyers who expect to play four, five, or six days per week during peak season should also consider a non-bundled golf community.
