About Bonita National
Bonita National Golf & Country Club is a gated, bundled-membership community in Bonita Springs built around an 18-hole Gordon Lewis-designed championship golf course and an extensive collection of resort-style amenities. The community includes 1,459 residences surrounded by lakes, preserves, fairways and natural areas, with housing ranging from terrace and veranda condominiums to coach homes and single-family residences. This variety gives buyers choices in size, maintenance structure and residential setting while sharing access to the broader Bonita National club lifestyle.
Homes throughout Bonita National include several distinct residential collections originally developed by Lennar. Terrace condominiums offer the most compact layouts, while veranda condominiums add front and rear lanais and garage parking. Coach homes provide larger condominium-style living, and the single-family collections range from more manageable executive homes to substantially larger estate residences. Depending on property type and location, homes may overlook the golf course, lakes, preserves or landscaped areas. The differences between these collections extend beyond size and floor plan because association structure, maintenance responsibilities, parking and membership type can also vary.
The club lifestyle is central to Bonita National. Residents enjoy a resort-style pool, satellite pools, fitness and spa facilities, tennis, pickleball, bocce, dining and an active calendar of social and recreational programming. Golf privileges depend on the membership deeded to the individual property, making membership type one of the most important considerations when purchasing in Bonita National. For buyers seeking an active country club lifestyle with a wide range of housing options, Bonita National offers recreation, dining and social opportunities within the community while remaining convenient to beaches, shopping, dining and destinations throughout Bonita Springs and Naples.
Why People Like the Bonita National Community
- Bundled Country Club Lifestyle: Every residence includes either Golf & Social or Social membership, integrating club privileges directly with homeownership.
- Gordon Lewis Golf Course: The 18-hole championship course winds through lakes and natural areas adjacent to the CREW Bird Rookery Swamp, creating an attractive Southwest Florida golf setting.
- Wide Range of Housing: Terrace and veranda condominiums, coach homes and several collections of single-family homes provide meaningful choices in size, price point and maintenance.

What You Need to Know About Living in Bonita National
- Every Home Has a Deeded Membership: Bonita National is not an optional-membership community. Each residence is permanently designated as either Golf & Social or Social.
- A Social Home Cannot Be Upgraded to Golf: This is particularly important for buyers. If golf is a priority, the property itself must carry a Golf deed. A Social member cannot convert a Social residence into a Golf residence simply by paying an initiation fee or joining a waiting list.
- 866 Residences Carry Golf Membership: Of Bonita National’s 1,459 residences, 866 are Golf-deeded, with the remaining properties carrying Social membership. This distinction can materially affect both lifestyle and resale considerations.
- Social Membership Still Includes Extensive Amenities: Social members have access to dining, swimming, fitness, spa, racquet sports and social programming. The primary distinction is access to the golf course and golf practice facilities.
- There Are Multiple Condominium Associations: Bonita National includes numerous condominium associations across its Coach, Veranda and Terrace collections. Buyers should review the specific association’s budget, reserves, insurance, fees and maintenance responsibilities in addition to the broader community obligations.
- Property Type Makes a Significant Difference: A terrace condominium and an estate home provide very different ownership experiences. Parking, exterior maintenance, private outdoor space, association structure and fees should all be evaluated for the specific property.
- Views and Locations Vary: Golf-course, lake, preserve and interior locations create meaningful differences in scenery, privacy and exposure throughout the community.

Bonita National Amenities
Golf is a major part of Bonita National, centered around its 18-hole Gordon Lewis-designed championship course and accompanying practice facilities. The practice area includes an expansive putting green and updated driving-range facilities. Golf privileges are reserved for residences carrying the Golf & Social membership designation.
Beyond golf, the community offers a substantial recreational and wellness environment. The main amenity area includes a resort-style swimming pool, fitness center and group exercise studio, spa and club dining, while three additional satellite pools provide convenient swimming options within residential areas. The club also offers eight Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts and three bocce courts, with organized play, instruction, leagues and social events available for a range of skill levels.
Dining and social activities are also an important part of the Bonita National experience. Residents have access to clubhouse dining and casual poolside dining, along with a calendar of member events, educational programs, celebrations, clubs and organized activities. These amenities are available to both Golf and Social members, making the community lifestyle much broader than golf alone.
Together, Bonita National’s golf, swimming, racquet sports, fitness, wellness, dining and social facilities create a comprehensive private-club environment. The key for buyers is understanding which membership is deeded to the residence, since that designation determines whether golf is part of the ownership experience.
