About Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples
Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples is a gated community of 1,343 residential parcels in Naples, built around an 18-hole championship golf course (Kipp Schulties, opened 2014).
Amenities — club amenities owned/operated by Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples (bundled-golf for most homes; some carry social/sports memberships — verify per property) — include an 18-hole championship golf course (Kipp Schulties, opened 2014), a clubhouse of roughly 15,000 sq ft with dining, a resort-style pool with private cabanas and a Bahama/tiki bar, six Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts and three bocce courts, a fitness center and studio, plus spa services, a culinary center and wine café, a dog park and roughly 14 miles of walking and biking trails, a gated entry.
On paper, the community sits in evacuation zone E.
The single most important question at Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples is one a buyer has to ask about the specific home, not the community: is the golf bundled or optional? Esplanade was built by Taylor Morrison — now sold out — as a bundled-golf resort community off Immokalee Road in North Naples, and while most homes carry a bundled golf membership included with ownership, some were sold with social or sports packages that make golf optional. That distinction changes the monthly cost materially, so it belongs at the top of the due-diligence list rather than the bottom. The golf itself is an 18-hole championship course designed by Kipp Schulties and opened in 2014, a Golf Digest 'Best New' honoree.
Beyond golf, Esplanade leans hard into resort living: a clubhouse of roughly 15,000 square feet with dining, a resort-style pool with private cabanas and a Bahama bar, six Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball and three bocce courts, a fitness center and studio, spa services, a culinary center and wine café, a dog park, and some 14 miles of walking and biking trails threaded through about 1,000 acres of preserve. It is an amenity-forward, all-ages community rather than an age-restricted one.
Governance is resident-run despite the community's relative youth: the Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples, Inc., a Florida non-profit filed in 2013, is governed by a resident officer board with a community-association law firm as its registered agent, and Taylor Morrison has completed its turnover. On the records, a buyer should read the flood picture carefully — county mapping places a large share of Esplanade in flood zone AH, a special-flood-hazard designation reflecting its low, water-and-preserve setting, which makes flood insurance a near-certain line item to price by building. County records also place Esplanade in evacuation Zone E, in the North Collier fire district, with Tuesday solid-waste collection; electricity is Florida Power & Light. The Collier PUD boundary counts roughly 1,343 parcels within the community, against a completed build of about 1,100 to 1,250 homes, coach homes and condos. One naming caution: the PUD is recorded as 'Mirasol,' and this is not the Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch or the other regional Esplanades — confirm you are looking at the right community's documents. Confirm current dues, membership terms, amenity access and any rules directly with the association and club; this page is an independent, records-based starting point and is not affiliated with the community, its club or any developer.
