About Lely Resort
Lely Resort is a large master-planned community in South Naples offering one of the area’s broadest combinations of housing, golf, recreation and resort-style amenities. The community encompasses dozens of distinct residential neighborhoods with condominiums, coach homes, townhomes, villas, single-family residences and custom estate homes, creating options that range from lower-maintenance seasonal living to expansive luxury properties. Lakes, preserves, golf courses and mature tropical landscaping are woven throughout the community, with individual neighborhoods offering their own architectural character, association structure and, in some cases, additional private amenities.
Lifestyle is a major part of Lely Resort’s appeal. The community is home to three golf courses, while The Players Club & Spa provides an extensive resort experience with swimming, fitness, spa services, tennis, pickleball, bocce, dining and social activities. Access to The Players Club varies by property, with membership required for some residences and optional for others, making the specific neighborhood and property especially important when evaluating a home. Lely Resort’s South Naples location also provides convenient access to Downtown Naples, Gulf beaches, Marco Island, shopping, dining and the recreational destinations of East Naples.

What You Need to Know About Living in Lely Resort
- Lely Resort Is Made Up of Many Associations: Individual neighborhoods can have their own HOA or condominium association in addition to the Lely Resort Master Property Owners Association, creating different fees, maintenance responsibilities and governing documents.
- Players Club Membership Depends on the Property: Some properties are subject to an Amenities Covenant requiring membership in The Players Club & Spa, while membership is optional for others. A few neighborhoods contain properties in both categories.
- Golf Access Varies: The three golf courses do not operate under one universal residential membership structure, so buyers interested in golf should evaluate the access, membership and costs associated with the courses they intend to use.
- Neighborhood Amenities Differ: Some communities within Lely Resort have their own pools, clubhouses and recreational facilities in addition to, or instead of, access to larger Lely Resort amenities.
- Property Types and Ownership Costs Vary Significantly: Condominium, villa and single-family ownership can involve very different association fees, insurance responsibilities and maintenance obligations.
- Current Rules Should Be Verified: Leasing, pets, parking, club membership, golf access and other requirements should be reviewed for the specific property and association rather than generalized across Lely Resort.

Lely Resort Amenities
Lely Resort’s amenities are unusually extensive, but understanding them requires distinguishing between The Players Club & Spa, the golf facilities and amenities belonging to individual residential neighborhoods. Not every homeowner has the same amenity structure, which is why the specific property a buyer chooses can have a meaningful impact on both lifestyle and ongoing ownership costs.
The Players Club & Spa is a 15-acre private club offering a comprehensive resort-style experience. Its aquatic facilities include a family pool with waterfall features, a lagoon-style pool, a dedicated lap and fitness pool, whirlpool spa, expansive pool decks and shaded lounging areas. Dining ranges from more traditional club dining to casual indoor and outdoor options and poolside food and beverage service, allowing the club to function as both a recreational destination and a social gathering place.
Fitness and wellness are equally substantial. The club features a 6,000-square-foot fitness center and approximately 3,000 square feet of dedicated fitness classrooms, with cardio and strength equipment, group classes, personal training and other wellness programming. A full-service spa offers massage, facials, beauty and personal-care treatments, while steam rooms and locker facilities complement the fitness and spa experience.
Court sports are another major component of The Players Club lifestyle, with 13 Har-Tru tennis courts, including a stadium court, four pickleball courts and four bocce courts. Professional instruction, clinics, leagues, doubles and match play provide opportunities for a range of skill levels, while the court sports pro shop supports the active racquet program. The club also offers billiards, gaming and theater space, social clubs, organized events, concerts, seminars and other activities throughout the year.
Golf provides another layer of recreation within Lely Resort, with three 18-hole courses offering different playing experiences and access structures. The Mustang and Flamingo Island courses provide public golf opportunities, while The Classics is a private club experience. Because golf access and membership are separate from many of the residential association structures, buyers who consider golf an important part of their Naples lifestyle should evaluate the current options independently.
Several individual Lely Resort neighborhoods also maintain their own private amenities, creating yet another level of lifestyle choice. Some offer neighborhood pools and gathering areas, while communities such as Olé have a substantial amenity center of their own. This variety means two homes within Lely Resort can provide very different recreational experiences and ownership costs, making neighborhood selection especially important when comparing properties.
