Naples - Marco Island and the Everglades

Great Golf on Florida’s Paradise Coast

The Paradise Coast lies where the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico are splashing over the coast of Florida, and where the Everglades spread between the Gulf and Miami – and in the middle lies Collier County with the enchanting town of Naples. This is where 90 golf courses have options for golf players of all skill levels. This is where the Paradise Coast with Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades offer world-class golf combined with superb off-the-links fun.

Being one of Florida’s best leisure and holiday destinations, Naples and Collier County offer a myriad of activities and facilities making life worthwhile and vacation exciting - both before and after a round of golf: Shoppers may enjoy exclusive, world renowned and plentiful boutiques in malls and down town Naples, exquisite cuisine at casual waterfront cafes or in gourmet restaurants, and water sports and sailing enthusiasts can choose from an endless list of adventures on land or water, on the Gulf of Mexico or by airboat in the Everglades. Whatever you desire, you’ll find it on the Paradise Coast, where you can choose from a huge selection of hotels and resorts. Some of the best are: Holiday Inn, Cove Inn on Naples Bay, The Quality Inn & Suites Golf Resort, The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club, and The Green Links Golf Resort & Conference Centre.

Climate and golf play important roles here on the Gulf coast and in the Everglades, where the Tamiami Trail runs from Miami to Naples. Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades provide a phenomenal backdrop for golf near the Gulf. The Paradise Coast boasts not only some of Florida’s best golf courses, but some of the best in the United States: the Greg Norman designed 36-hole, par 72, Tiburón Golf Club is setting new standards for the game in Naples.

Lely Flamingo Island & Mustang Golf Clubs (36 holes, par 72), GreenLinks Golf Resort (36 Holes, par 72), Arrowhead Golf Club (18 holes, par 72), The Links of Naples at the Tamiami Trail (18 holes, par 61), the Quality Inn and Suites Golf Resort (18 holes, par 72), and the Rookery at Marco (18 holes, par 72).

Many hotels and resorts offer their own renowned courses or lucrative package-access to some of the area’s top courses (see above and below).

The motto of Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades is “Bring your Game to Paradise”.
