Quail West Membership Guide: Fees, Membership Options & Real Estate (2026)

If you’re considering buying a home in Quail West, understanding the club’s membership structure is just as important as choosing the right home.

Unlike many private golf communities in Naples, Quail West offers a unique opportunity for buyers to acquire transferable memberships with select resale homes. Depending on the property you purchase, this can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in upfront club costs while providing immediate membership privileges.

This guide explains Quail West’s membership options, current fees, annual dues, transferable memberships, and what buyers should know before purchasing a home.
