Calusa Pines Golf Club

Calusa Pines opened in 2001, designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry through an old-growth slash pine forest in Naples. Named among Golf Digest\'s Top Ten Best New Private Clubs upon opening. Currently ranked No. 68 on Golf Digest\'s 100 Greatest and No. 3 in Florida — considered by many the finest private club in the state.

No two consecutive holes play in the same direction, and short green-to-tee walks create a walking-friendly flow rare in Southwest Florida. The cathedral-like setting under towering pines with no houses visible gives a sense of isolation from suburban Naples.

A cathedral-like setting under towering old-growth pines with no houses visible from any hole. Seamless routing with dynamic par and length variety. Large, well-contoured greens. Walking is encouraged with a strong caddie program.

Shot-shaping and strategic tee shots matter more than raw distance. Bold lines exist on several holes but sand and trees punish misses.

Green complexes have subtle breaks that look different under pine canopy shadows. Read carefully.

Walking with a caddie is the best way to experience the course — the routing was designed for it.
