Bear's Paw Country Club

Overview: Bear’s Paw Country Club is a private Jack Nicklaus Signature course in Naples. The gated community’s 18-hole course is laid through a mature Southwest Florida landscape, with water, trees, and the compact residential setting shaping the experience.

History: Club history records construction in the late 1970s, a ribbon cutting on December 3, 1980, and the course’s original Nicklaus Signature identity. A comprehensive restoration was completed in 2015, and Nicklaus reporting dates that restoration work to its November 1 completion.

Did You Know? Bear’s Paw was the first Jack Nicklaus Signature course in Southwest Florida. Its 2015 restoration was intended to renew the original design character rather than replace the course with an unrelated modern layout.
