Wyndemere Country Club – Life, Golf and Friendships

When it comes to choosing a place to live in Naples Florida, there are plenty of neighborhoods to choose from. Choosing to live in a golf community doesn’t narrow it down much, Naples has plenty of those too. So how do you choose, and what do you base your choice on?

All offer superior, well maintained golf facilities and a myriad of other activities – recreational and non – but what sets Wyndemere apart are the people. Everyone in the community, from the Members to the clubhouse staff to the maintenance crew, all greet you with a warm friendly smile and kind words. It’s the people that set Wyndemere apart.

Wyndemere Country Club is the dream and vision of Gerald Livingston, who purchased a 450-acre tract of land on which to build a country club, with the hope that it would someday become a beehive of social activity, providing a sanctuary where Members could enjoy recreational activities and create everlasting friendships. Mr. Livingston’s vision was realized when Wyndemere Country Club opened its gates in 1981.

Over the years, Wyndemere has been both home and host to some pretty well-known folks. Some of the Club’s more famous residents include Chi Chi Rodriguez and legendary football coach, Mike Ditka. Golf greats such as Fuzzy Zoeller, Gary Player and Lee Trevino have graced the fairways at Wyndemere Country Club.

The goals of Wyndemere are clear and simple: to provide Members, their families and guests with an exceptional experience and to preserve and strengthen Wyndemere as a premier, private country club community in the Naples, Florida area.

The golf at Wyndemere Country Club is incredible and features 27-holes of Arthur Hills-designed golf, making for three distinctively different 18-hole layouts. Delicately sloping, tree-lined fairways intertwine with intriguing water features and beautiful coquina waste areas to create a course that will challenge golfers of all skill levels and abilities. You don’t need to be able to hit 300-yard drives to score well and have a good time.
