Esplanade Golf & Country Club

Overview: Esplanade Golf & Country Club Naples is an 18-hole private Chris Wilczynski design. The par-72 course reaches 6,983 yards from the back tees, with wide fairways, large greens, water features, flower beds, and natural views around the community.

History: The Naples course opened in 2014 and was named one of Golf Digest’s Best New Courses that year. It was built as part of a 1,798-acre Taylor Morrison community on a site shaped by coral rock, lakes, and preserved natural areas.

Did You Know? The layout includes short risk-and-reward par fours at the fifth, tenth, and fourteenth holes. That design choice gives the long course several places where strategy can outweigh simply choosing the longest club.
