“Eighteen holes of golf will teach you more about your foe than eighteen years of dealing with him across a desk.”

-Grantland Rice (1880-1954), U.S. sports columnist

Country club living in a lushly landscaped, private community just 2 miles from Vanderbilt Beach in coveted North Naples – Pelican Marsh has it all. Close in proximity to world class shopping and entertainment centers, award winning beaches, and top ranked schools, Pelican Marsh was developed by WCI Communities. This private, gated community has become firmly established as a benchmark in master planned, golf club communities throughout Southwest Florida, and beyond. Pelican Marsh has been selected as one of the 100 best master planned

communities in the U.S. by Where to Retire Magazine. Within this community is the private Pelican Marsh Golf and Country Club, where residents have the opportunity of joining as golf or social members. Pelican Marsh is an 18 hole championship golf course designed by Robert von Hagge. The PGA Tour has recognized the charms and challenges of the course, and in 2000 and 2001 the nationally televised Ace Group Classic, a Senior PGA Tour event, was held at Pelican Marsh. The ultra-exclusive Bay Colony Golf Club is also located within Pelican Marsh. The private Bay Colony Golf Club is built on 300 acres around the Cocohatchee Strand Nature Preserve. The 18 hole Championship golf course was also designed by

Robert von Hagge, and has hosted Senior PGA Tour events. Surrounding the course is the double gated Estates at Bay Colony Golf Club, an ultra-luxury WCI development – where less than 80 magnificent estate homes (at full build-out ) of at least 4,000 square feet of living area in size rest on sites of at least 2/3 of an acre or more. The Estates at Bay Colony Golf Club is truly one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in all of Naples, and its privileged residents enjoy some of the finest amenities found anywhere in the region.

A brand new, state of the art, 15,000 square foot Community Center is available to all Pelican Marsh residents for use, and includes community rooms and a business center. Enjoy tennis year round, as 9 Har-Tru tennis courts, and a pro shop and tennis program (at “Center Court”) are all on site. Miles of trails along the neighborhoods and preserve are yours to

wander in a beautiful, secure environment. Pelicans, eagles, wading birds of all kinds, and numerous other species, can be found along the way.

attentive service, and all the services you would expect are furnished at the Bay Colony Beach Club, where you can enjoy the picturesque Gulf of Mexico in total comfort.

Without leaving the Estates at Bay Colony Golf Club in Pelican Marsh, fine and casual dining can be enjoyed at the Bay Colony Golf Club Clubhouse, which is Carolina-style in design. Membership in the Golf Club is limited to 300, and the prevailing philosophy is to uphold the tradition of the “grand old golf clubs,” so that the limited number of members can enjoy the game in “unhurried” fashion. The gourmet fare created by Chef Gehabka is showcased at the Clubhouse, where evening dining can be reserved in the

elegant formal dining room.
