Who built Pelican Sound?
Pelican Sound (Pelican Sound Golf & River Club) is a gated bundled golf-and-river community in the Village of Estero, developed beginning around 1998 across neighborhoods such as Masters, Turnberry, Island Sound, Edgewater and Palmetto Dunes. The Lee County GIS boundary records about 1,299 residential units, all members of the Pelican Sound Golf & River Club, which is the community's master association. The community development district on the tax bill is the River Ridge CDD ($1,208.92 on the sampled bill) — the district takes the name of the wider River Ridge development area rather than the Pelican Sound brand (Lee County GIS, the sampled 2025 tax bill, and Pelican Sound club materials, checked August 2026).
Is club membership included when you buy in Pelican Sound?
Yes — Pelican Sound is a bundled-amenity community, so a home purchase includes membership in the Pelican Sound Golf & River Club with access to the 27-hole golf course, the river park and boat shuttle, and the other club amenities. Exactly what each membership level includes and any dues or fees depend on the club's current plan — confirm the current membership structure directly with the club (Pelican Sound Golf & River Club materials, checked August 2026).
Is Pelican Sound in a flood zone?
The county's flood map layer doesn't provide zone labels for this area, so we don't publish a breakdown. Check your address on FEMA's official flood map. Flood-zone status is not a flood determination for insurance or lending purposes.
