About Esplanade
Esplanade Golf & Country Club is a gated resort-style community in North Naples encompassing nearly 1,800 acres, with an extraordinary amount of the property dedicated to lakes, wetlands and natural preserves. Located east of I-75 off Immokalee Road, the community combines an 18-hole championship golf course with an extensive collection of recreational, wellness, dining and social amenities. Single-family homes, coach homes and condominium residences provide a broad range of ownership options, while lakes, fairways and preserved natural areas create attractive views throughout the community.
The residential experience varies considerably depending on property type and location. Single-family homes range from more moderately sized residences to substantial estate homes, many with private pools and expansive outdoor living areas, while coach homes and condominiums provide lower-maintenance alternatives. Golf, lake and preserve homesites create different views and levels of privacy, and individual residences can vary significantly in size, layout, garage configuration, renovation level and outdoor features.
An important distinction for buyers is that Esplanade properties are deeded as either Golf or Club residences. Golf properties include full golf membership privileges, while Club properties provide access to Esplanade’s extensive non-golf amenities without full golf membership. The designation belongs to the property and cannot simply be changed from Club to Golf, making membership type an important consideration when selecting a home. Regardless of category, residents can enjoy an unusually comprehensive lifestyle built around dining, fitness, swimming, tennis, pickleball, bocce, spa services and an active social calendar.

What You Need to Know About Living in Esplanade Golf & Country Club
- Not Every Home Includes Full Golf Membership: Properties are permanently designated as either Golf or Club residences. Buyers wanting full golf privileges need to purchase a property carrying the Golf designation.
- A Club Property Cannot Simply Be Upgraded to Golf: The membership designation is tied to the residence, making it important to verify before purchasing.
- Housing Types Differ Significantly: Condominium, coach-home and single-family ownership can involve very different maintenance, insurance, association and exterior responsibilities.
- Homesites Matter: Golf course, lake, preserve and interior locations can create significant differences in views, privacy and outdoor living.
- Individual Homes Vary Considerably: Pools, outdoor kitchens, hurricane protection, interior improvements and other features should be evaluated property by property.
- Ownership Includes Ongoing Club and Association Expenses: Buyers should review the current fees associated with the specific property and membership designation rather than assuming all costs are included in one HOA payment.
- Rental and Property-Use Rules Should Be Verified: Leasing, pets, parking, golf-cart use and other requirements are governed by current community documents and may also depend on the property type.
