About The Strand

The Strand is an established gated golf and country club community located in North Naples off Immokalee Road between Livingston Road and I-75. Encompassing approximately 575 acres, the community was developed around lakes, preserves, landscaped streets and a 27-hole championship golf course designed by Gordon Lewis. Residential options are diverse and include condominiums, coach homes, villas and single-family homes spread among a collection of individual neighborhoods, with many properties overlooking the golf course, lakes, preserves or landscaped surroundings. Development began in the late 1990s, giving The Strand the mature landscaping and established character that distinguishes it from many newer Naples communities.

The lifestyle is centered around The Club at The Strand, a private country club offering golf, dining, fitness and wellness, swimming, racquet sports and an active calendar of recreational and social activities. The golf experience includes three distinct nine-hole courses that can be played in different 18-hole combinations, while residents who do not prioritize golf can still take advantage of the club’s extensive non-golf amenities. The Strand’s location adds another dimension to its appeal, providing convenient access to North Naples shopping, dining, healthcare, Gulf beaches and I-75 without requiring residents to live farther from the established coastal areas of Naples.

Why People Like the Strand Community

  • 27 Holes of Championship Golf: The Gordon Lewis-designed golf complex includes three distinct nine-hole courses, Sabal, Savannah and Preserve, providing variety for golfers.
  • Golf Is Optional: Residents can enjoy the broader country club lifestyle without being required to maintain a golf membership.
  • Multiple Housing Choices: Condominiums, coach homes, villas and single-family residences provide a wide range of ownership options within the same community.
  • Extensive Club Amenities: Dining, fitness, spa services, swimming and multiple sports facilities create recreational options well beyond golf.
  • Strong Racquet and Sports Facilities: Tennis, pickleball, bocce, croquet and basketball provide alternatives for residents with varied recreational interests.
  • Established Community Setting: Mature landscaping, lakes and preserves contribute to an attractive residential environment developed over several decades.
  • Multiple Neighborhoods: Individual neighborhoods within The Strand offer different property types, views, association structures and ownership experiences.
  • Convenient North Naples Location: The community provides easy access to Immokalee Road, I-75 and the shopping, dining, beaches and services of North Naples.

What You Need to Know About Living in The Strand

  • The Strand Is Gated: The community has controlled access and is governed by a master homeowners association along with applicable neighborhood or condominium associations.
  • Club Membership Is Part of Ownership: Buyers should understand the required club membership structure and associated costs when evaluating a property in The Strand. Golf privileges require an additional membership.
  • Golf Membership Is Not Mandatory: Buyers who want the country club lifestyle but do not play golf can own within The Strand without adding full golf privileges.
  • Neighborhoods Differ: Association fees, maintenance responsibilities, insurance obligations, reserves and neighborhood amenities can vary significantly depending on the property type and neighborhood.
  • Some Neighborhoods Have Additional Amenities: Certain condominium and coach-home neighborhoods offer their own pools or gathering facilities in addition to the central club amenities.
  • Homes Span Different Ages and Renovation Levels: Buyers should evaluate roofs, HVAC systems, windows, hurricane protection, pools, interiors and other improvements on a property-specific basis.
  • Total Ownership Costs Require More Than an HOA Comparison: Master and neighborhood association assessments, club dues and optional golf costs can all contribute to the property’s overall carrying expenses.
  • Current Costs and Rules Should Be Verified: Club dues, membership requirements, HOA and condominium assessments, leasing restrictions, pet policies, insurance responsibilities and other requirements should be confirmed through current documents.

The Strand Amenities

The Club at The Strand provides a comprehensive country club lifestyle built around its 27-hole Gordon Lewis-designed golf complex, which consists of the Sabal, Savannah and Preserve nine-hole courses. Golf facilities extend beyond the courses themselves with practice areas and professional instruction, giving members opportunities for both recreational play and game development. Because golf membership is optional, however, the club is designed to provide a substantial lifestyle even for residents who rarely or never play golf.

Beyond the course, residents can enjoy multiple dining options, a fitness center, spa services and a heated swimming pool along with tennis, pickleball, bocce, croquet and basketball. The club also maintains an active calendar of dining, entertainment, fitness and social activities, making the clubhouse and recreational facilities an important part of life within The Strand. Individual neighborhoods can add another layer of amenities, with certain condominium and coach-home enclaves providing their own pools and gathering areas closer to the residences.

The Strand’s North Naples location off Immokalee Road provides convenient access to I-75 as well as the coastal side of Naples. Mercato, Vanderbilt Beach, Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, shopping, restaurants, healthcare and everyday services are readily accessible, while I-75 provides a convenient connection to Southwest Florida International Airport and destinations throughout the region. For buyers seeking an established gated North Naples community with multiple housing choices, 27 holes of golf, an extensive private-club lifestyle and the flexibility of optional golf membership, The Strand offers a particularly well-rounded combination of residential and recreational options.
