Thing #3. World-Class Golfing, Right in Your Backyard

Whether you’re a golf enthusiast who loves to spend an afternoon on the greens for a competitive round with friends, or a casual player who needs a Mulligan or two before wrapping things up at the 19th Hole, you’ll find that there’s no shortage of homes with golf access in Naples and Southwest Florida—over 150 golf communities, in fact. These neighborhoods often include estate homes and single-family residences, as well as attached and detached villas, and condominiums.
