Colony Golf & Country Club
The Colony Golf & Country Club is located in an exclusive section of Pelican Landing in Bonita Springs. U.S. Open Champion Jerry Pate designed the 18-hole golf course. He brought this breathtaking landscape to life with the creation of the course, which opened for play in March 2000. Expanding across 809 acres, this challenging 18-hole golf course is immersed in native grasses and oak hammock.
The clubhouse has a spectacular view of the 18th green. There are multiple membership options, including equity and non-equity options. The maximum number of equity golf members is 275. The club also offers 215 equity sports memberships.
Additionally, members will enjoy access to the Sports Center with 6 Har-Tru tennis courts, spat treatment rooms, fitness center, spa, pool and aerobics room.
Further, this private golf club is surrounded by large estate homes, villas and condos. Finally, The Colony is one of the few remaining golf communities offering new construction condominiums overlooking the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida.
