West Bay Beach and Golf Club

West Bay Beach and Golf Club is without question, one of the most gorgeous of gated-communities within all of Southwest Florida. Encompassing almost 900 acres, more than half of the grounds here have been kept preserved in their natural state of awesome, yet that which has been fashioned by man remains fairly awesome too. Home buyers will be greeted by a variety of design styles to select from, including high rise condominiums or coach & carriage-style houses to single-family executive homes and large estates. Most homes offer stellar views of the green preserves or the green golf fairways gracing this environment, yet the array of amenities add to the allure. There is a quality of life here for which most communities cannot compete. The following offers insight on a few of the elements that make West Bay Beach & Golf Club so exceptional.

Great Golf

The 18-hole golf course at West Bay Club was designed by Pete and P.B. Dye

Allowing for almost 7,000 yards of play (from the longest tees), the 18-hole golf course at West Bay Beach and Golf Club is a 72-Par test (and treat) for touring professionals and amateur enthusiasts alike. Complete with practice ranges and a Pro Shop, the course is characterized by a variety of bunkers, tight fairways and water features that figure in 75% of the holes. It all combines for a challenge that actually complements the 500-acre nature preserve surrounding the course. Designed and built by Pete and P.B. Dye, this innovative private course was developed with admirable respect for golfing nature as well as the abundant flora, fauna and wildlife inhabiting the nature preserve. This design has enabled the West Bay Golf Course to earn distinction as an Audubon Signature Sanctuary Course. Of course, it deserves noting that given the per capita composite of public and private holes in Southwest Florida, the area has been auspiciously deemed as “The Golf Capital of the World.” West Bay Beach and Golf Club is positioned at the epicenter of all this golfing activity. Geographically situated between the larger metropolitan communities of Fort Myers and Naples, West Bay Club is mere minutes from some of the greatest golf fairways in the region. Whether it is Arnold Palmer’s Wildcat Run (heralded by Palmer as “among the best courses in the Southeastern United States), or Old Corkscrew (the only stand-alone Jack Nicklaus Signature course in the region) or Raymond Floyd’s Raptor Bay at Coconut Point Hyatt, these and other outstanding courses are appreciably close to West Bay Beach and Golf Club.

Terrific Tennis

The tennis complex includes eight Har-Tru courts

With its eight Har-Tru courts, all ages and all levels of play are accommodated by the community’s dynamic tennis program. There’s also a friendly staff of ranked, tennis professionals who remain on stand-by to help residents make the most from all the amenities and activities offered through the tennis club. In addition to private lessons, West Bay’s Tennis Center (known as “The Net”) routinely organizes clinics, camps, team-play, tournaments and socials to further elevate and enrich the tennis experience at West Bay Beach and Golf Club.

The Bay House

The community center at West Bay Beach and Golf Club is known as “The Bay House.” The center offers an extensive array of options resonating with the wants of an active and engaged community. From the game room with billiards and table tennis to the social spaces that allow for Bridge, Mahjong, art classes and more, the Bay House caters to all kinds of interests. At the state-of-the-art fitness center, residents can enjoy either scheduled group workouts in a class or more private, one-on-one guidance from ACE Certified Personal Trainers. For those who prefer to lounge, the resort-styled swimming pool is an alluring oasis allowing one to languor beneath the blue sky while sipping a cool beverage. The feel here can be likened to that found at a world class resort.

Boating & Fishing

West Bay Golf and Beach Club is situated beside the gentle, winding waters of the Estero River. This narrow water system flows west from Estero before spilling into the estuary waters of Estero Bay. This Bay was the very first outstanding body of water in Florida to be officially recognized with status as an environmentally protected Aquatic Preserve. While these waters ultimately lead into the Gulf, along the way, there among the dense canopy of mangroves and picturesque backwater passages, one can encounter manatees, diving dolphin and the fabulous array of feathered species that flock among this habitat. This is an excellent place to kayak or go fishing and residents have access to the community’s private boat ramp. The river and gulf excursions allowed from here offer a nature retreat quite like none other in the region.

The Beach House

While the resort swimming pool at the Bay House and Estero River adventures stand-out as liquid luxuries, there’s no disputing that Southwest Florida’s beaches enthrall all who call this area home. Fortunately, the community is only minutes away from beautiful beaches. West Bay Beach and Golf Club residents homeowners also enjoy privileged access to a private Beach House. This facility is located on 200 feet of beachfront on Hickory Island. Access to the Beach House comes with home ownership and all residents are invited to soak in the sun, sand and sea, or simply stop-in for a delicious meal and drink.

Favored with Flavor

Dining options are also plentiful at West Bay Beach and Golf Club. Edible indulgences await any appetite. While casual lunches are a specialty of The Grill at The Bay House, an especially succulent continental meal is served within the grand dining room at The Golf House. For light drinks and snacks, there’s also The Niblick, where fabulous fare combines with certain refinement in the delivery of European-style service. Then again, much more awaits in the greater community of Estero. West Bay Beach & Golf Club is only some three minutes away from destinations like Coconut Point Mall or Miromar Outlets. These venues not only offers several hundred shopping options, but feature some of the tastiest restaurants in all of Southwest Florida.

Park it HERE!

Among the parks within West Bay Beach and Golf Club is one customized for canine companions.

More than 500 of the 868 acres encompassing West Bay Beach and Golf Club exist as protected nature preserves. Between the boundaries of nature’s bounty and various home sites, there are hiking trails and open spaces perfectly adapted into parks. The community is actually complemented with five separate parks. These include the pet-friendly River Park; a park that features a 1.5-mile, 12-station vita course where humans and their canine counterparts can both get a workout. For those who enjoy kayaking, canoeing or fishing, the River Park boat launch provides ready access to Halfway Creek and other waterways of Estero Bay. River Park II serves as a perfect setting for picnics within pavilions punctuated along the banks of the Estero River. The nearby Children’s Park delights with a full playground area complemented by basketball courts and opportunities to play bocce ball, croquet and more. Beneath the gazebo at Bay House Park, residents can relax while reading a book, but for others a more blissful indulgence comes from having an hour-long massage at the spa. Another park comes with a special garden graced by butterflies and humming birds alike. All combines to convey a sense that West Bay Beach and Golf Club is not your average neighborhood, but more of a sanctuary, both sophisticated and serene, and a true marvel among master-planned communities.

Location, Location, Location!

As if these elements weren’t enough, West Bay Club’s location is another stellar attribute. Within minutes from the community, residents can conveniently access a variety of popular attractions. From the professional hockey, concerts and other cultural events hosted at nearby Germain Arena to the historic compound of the Koreshans who founded Estero; from the professional baseball with the Boston Red Sox or Minnesota Twins at venues such as JetBlue Stadium and Hammond Stadium to the amazing plethora of shops, restaurants and activities that routinely operate from Coconut Point Mall, Gulf Coast Town Center and Miromar Outlets, the options abound. What’s more, the community’s proximity to Interstate 75 and Southwest Florida International Airport allows more convenient access to all points north, south and beyond. Families will also appreciate the close connectivity to schools, churches, healthcare services and so much more. West Bay Beach and Golf Club is an outstanding community perfectly situated within the larger paradise that is Southwest Florida. For those hoping to find a fantastic home in a fabulous location, this is as great as it can get.
