About Audubon
Audubon is a private, gated golf and country club community in North Naples known for its exceptionally low-density setting and strong connection to the natural environment. With just 401 residences spread across more than 750 acres, the community includes 28 lakes, while more than half of its acreage is dedicated to preserve areas. Mature trees, native vegetation and abundant wildlife create a park-like atmosphere that feels remarkably spacious for a community located just minutes from beaches, shopping, dining and other North Naples conveniences.
The residences are arranged among 14 distinct neighborhoods and include custom estate homes, detached villas and single-family residences that vary considerably in size, architecture and age. Many overlook the golf course, lakes or preserves and feature private pools and expansive outdoor living areas. Audubon is divided into two primary areas: the Club Side, accessed from U.S. 41, and the Bay Side, accessed from Vanderbilt Drive. Individual neighborhoods within these areas have their own character, home sizes and view orientations, making the specific location within Audubon an important part of comparing properties.
Audubon’s lifestyle centers around its private country club and 18-hole Joe Lee-designed golf course, but the community’s identity extends well beyond golf. Tennis, pickleball, croquet, bocce, fitness, swimming, dining, kayaking and social activities provide a broad range of options, while Audubon’s designation as a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary reflects its longstanding emphasis on conservation and wildlife habitat.
Why People Like the Audubon Community
- Exceptional Low Density: Only 401 residences occupy more than 750 acres, creating a sense of space that is increasingly difficult to find in Naples.
- Nature Is Part of the Experience: Lakes, extensive preserves, mature vegetation and wildlife are woven throughout the community rather than confined to a few designated areas.
- Distinctive Residential Neighborhoods: Fourteen neighborhoods offer meaningful differences in home size, architectural character, maintenance arrangements and surroundings.
- Golf, Lake and Preserve Settings: A wide variety of views gives buyers options ranging from sweeping fairway exposures to peaceful water and natural preserve settings.
- Active Private-Club Lifestyle: Audubon offers numerous ways to be active and social, whether a resident’s interests center around golf, racquet sports, fitness, dining or organized activities.
- West of U.S. 41: The location provides convenient access to Gulf beaches as well as shopping, dining and destinations throughout North Naples and Bonita Springs.
What You Need to Know About Living in Audubon
- Neighborhood Matters: Audubon’s 14 neighborhoods are not interchangeable. For example, some contain larger custom estates while others offer smaller single-family homes or detached villas. Home size, views, privacy and maintenance arrangements can differ substantially.
- Club Side and Bay Side Have Separate Access Points: The Club Side, or Phase I, is entered from U.S. 41, while the Bay Side, or Phase II, is accessed from Vanderbilt Drive. This can make a practical difference depending on where residents spend their time outside the community.
- Membership Should Be Evaluated Separately: Buyers should verify current Audubon Country Club membership categories, availability, initiation requirements, dues and privileges directly with the club rather than assuming that purchasing a home automatically provides a particular level of membership.
- Golf Membership Is Limited: Audubon limits the number of golf memberships, helping preserve access to the course. Buyers for whom golf is a priority should investigate current membership availability as part of their purchase decision.
- Maintenance Responsibilities Can Vary: Certain neighborhoods have their own homeowners associations that provide additional maintenance services. Buyers should understand both the community-wide and neighborhood-specific association structure for the property they are considering.
- Homes Span Different Eras and Levels of Renovation: Buyers will find original residences, partially updated homes and extensively renovated properties throughout Audubon, so construction, hurricane protection, finishes and overall condition should be evaluated individually.

Audubon Amenities
The centerpiece of Audubon is its private 18-hole golf course designed by Joe Lee, which winds through lakes, preserves and residential areas and offers five sets of tees to accommodate different skill levels. Golf memberships are limited to help maintain course accessibility, and members may own their own golf carts and drive them from their residences to the club.
Beyond golf, Audubon offers a substantial collection of recreational and wellness amenities. Racquet facilities include seven Har-Tru tennis courts and two pickleball courts, complemented by professional instruction and organized play. Members can also enjoy croquet and bocce, swimming and a fitness facility with classes and wellness programming.
The 35,000-square-foot clubhouse serves as a central social and dining destination, with both casual and more formal dining options, gathering spaces and a calendar of member events. Additional outdoor experiences take advantage of Audubon’s natural surroundings, including walking areas, a boardwalk and kayak launch that provide another way to enjoy the waterways and preserve setting.
Together, the amenities support an active country club lifestyle, but what makes Audubon particularly distinctive is how closely those facilities are integrated with the community’s natural environment and unusually low-density residential setting.
