Esplanade Golf and Country Club

Yes. Esplanade Golf & Country Club is a bundled golf community in Naples, Florida. However, not every property has the same membership privileges. Properties have either a Golf Membership or Social Membership deeded to the property, making it important for buyers to understand the membership associated with a home before making an offer.

No. Properties in Esplanade have either a Golf Membership or Social Membership deeded to the property. Golf Membership properties include full golf privileges along with access to the club’s lifestyle amenities, while Social Membership properties provide access to the community’s extensive social and recreational amenities but do not include golf privileges from November through April.

No. The membership type is deeded to the property and cannot simply be upgraded from Social to Golf. If you own a property with a Social Membership and want full golf privileges, you would need to purchase a property with a Golf Membership deeded to it.

Esplanade features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Chris Wilczynski. The course opened in 2014 and incorporates lakes, preserves, strategic bunkering, and multiple tee options to create an enjoyable golf experience for a variety of skill levels.

Esplanade uses the Chelsea Reservation System to help distribute tee times fairly among Golf Members. Rather than operating strictly on a first-come, first-served basis, the system considers factors such as recent play history and availability when allocating tee times.

During peak season, a good rule of thumb is that Golf Members can expect to play approximately 2 times per week, with opportunities for additional rounds depending on availability, organized leagues and club events, cancellations, or by filling an open spot as a single golfer.

Esplanade offers a true resort experience across its 1,798 acres. Key amenities include a Culinary Center with multiple dining venues, a resort-style pool with a open-air tiki bar, a full-service spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, 6 Har-Tru tennis courts, 4 pickleball courts, 3 bocce courts, walking trails, and a dedicated dog park.

Esplanade offers a variety of residential options, including condominiums, coach homes, and single-family homes. Properties vary in size, floor plan, view, price, and membership type. Because Golf and Social Memberships are deeded to specific properties, buyers should consider both the home and its membership designation when evaluating available properties.
