Esplanade Golf and Country Club is a gated resort community in north Naples, with 14 miles of biking and walking trails, three dog parks and more than a thousand acres of preserve inside it. Condominiums, coach homes and single-family homes share four dining settings, a spa and salon, a resort pool, courts and an 18-hole course.

Built
2015–2022
Every home here includes a club membership. 839 also include golf. The other 345 cannot add it, ever. If you want golf, buy a home that already has it.
Buying here makes you a member. No application, no committee. The club runs the golf course, the Culinary Center, the Wellness Center and the amenity grounds, and every owner pays toward all of it.
The people
The amenity campus is 12.3 acres, so the courts, the pool and the dining rooms sit a few minutes apart, and a full-time lifestyle staff keeps an events calendar running through them. No age restriction either, so the mix runs wider than at a 55 and over community. If you want a place where you can go a week without seeing anybody, this is not it.
The setting
Fourteen miles of biking and walking trails run through the community, and dog owners get three dog parks. The club counts about 1,798 acres, roughly 1,000 of them preserve and wetlands, and more than 170 acres of lakes. A little over half the community is not built on, which is why so many homes look at water or open space.
The dining
The Culinary Center holds the dining rooms, indoors and out, on four settings from poolside casual up to an upscale room, each with its own dress code. Every resident carries a $750 annual food minimum, food only, which is money spent at the club rather than a fee.
The amenity campus sits on 12.3 acres of its own. Every owner uses all of it. The one thing that is not shared on equal terms is the golf course.

This is the first thing to establish about any home here, because it cannot be changed after closing and it is worth thousands of dollars a year. It is attached to the deed, so it transfers with the house. Both are full club and sports memberships. Only one of them books a tee time.
Homes carrying golf
839 of 1,184
The club’s governing documents cap golf memberships at 850, and 839 are assessed for 2026. No waitlist, and no upgrade path.
839 homes. Golf comes with the house.
A Golf home costs $4,664.18 a year more to own than an otherwise identical Club home. That is the price of the tee-time window, and it is charged whether you play or not.
345 homes. Everything except advance tee times.
Some paperwork calls this a social or Social/Club membership. The club’s own community overview calls it a Club membership. Same thing.
For a seller, this narrows the comparable set. A three-bedroom coach home with golf and a three-bedroom coach home without it are not the same listing, and pricing one off the other gets somebody hurt. The comparables that matter are the ones on your side of the line.

Talk to a buyer agentThirty-day minimum, a set number of leases a year, and paperwork to your neighborhood association four weeks ahead. The part that surprises owners is what happens to their own club access.
Minimum lease
30 days
Coach and condo owners may lease five times a year. Single family owners may lease four.
The lease
Thirty days or longer. Five leases a year for a coach or condo home, four for a single family home.
The paperwork
To the neighborhood association at least four weeks before the lease starts: a rental application, a copy of the lease, a non-refundable transfer fee and a background check fee. A renewal needs two weeks.
The amenity transfer
Your club access transfers to your tenant for the term. They buy their own access cards and give them up when the lease ends.
What changes for the owner
While a tenant is in the home you do not have club access. If you were planning to rent the house out and still use the club, that is not how it works here.
Your association can be stricter. Coach and condo homes answer to their own condominium association as well as the master, and where the two conflict the master declaration wins. We read the documents for your specific building before you count on a rental plan.
We manage properties in Naples. If you are weighing a rental at Esplanade, we can walk you through the association paperwork, the amenity transfer and what the home realistically rents for.
Esplanade is a bundled golf community in north Naples, developed by Taylor Morrison and built out in 2021. Buying a home here makes you a member of the club automatically, with no application to fill out and no committee to satisfy. The club runs the golf course, the Culinary Center, the Wellness Center and the amenity grounds, and every owner pays toward all of it.
What varies is golf. Of the 1,184 homes, 839 come with a golf membership. The rest have a Club membership, which is still a full club and sports membership: the same pools, courts, restaurants, fitness center and spa, and the course at guest rates. What a Club membership cannot do is book a tee time in advance.
The important part is that this does not change. A Club home cannot be upgraded to a Golf home. No waitlist to join, and no position to move up. The only way to hold a golf membership at Esplanade is to buy a home that already has one. The club’s governing documents cap golf memberships at 850, and 839 are assessed today. Everything else on this page follows from that.
Esplanade has two kinds of home, and the difference runs deeper than the floor plan.
Coach homes and condominiums. 416 of the 1,184. These sit in their own condominium associations, each with its own budget and its own quarterly fee on top of the club’s. The associations are Garden Homes I and II on Pocida, Coach Homes I, II and III on Montelanico, Bellano I and II, and Benvenuto I. Cambridge Management runs Montelanico and Bellano. Sandcastle runs Pocida and Benvenuto. The fee differs by association, so it is worth knowing which one a home sits in.
Single family homes. 768 of the 1,184. These answer only to the master association, so no second fee applies. Instead they pay a grounds assessment for lawn care, and it scales to how wide the lot is. Five widths are used: 52 feet, 62 feet, 76 feet, 90 feet and 100 feet. Most are on the narrower end. 331 homes sit on 52 foot lots and 238 on 62 foot lots, while only 42 homes across the whole community sit on 90 or 100 foot lots.
If you are looking at a listing and cannot tell which lot width it sits on, the quarterly fee gives it away. The cost tool on this page will decode it for you, and it will name the association for a coach or condo home.
Esplanade is a resort style community rather than a quiet one. The pool has lap lanes and a bar. Organized activities run through the year, with a full time lifestyle staff and a calendar of events. Because the community has no age restriction, the mix runs wider than at a 55 and over one: year round residents, seasonal owners and tenants.
The layout puts water and golf in front of a lot of homes. The community covers about 1,798 acres, roughly 1,000 of it preserve, wetland and walking trails, with more than 170 acres of lakes. A little over half the property is not built on, which is why lake and course views here are common rather than rare.
The club runs its amenities from two centers. The Culinary Center holds the dining rooms, indoors and out, on four different settings from poolside casual up to an upscale room, each with its own dress code. The Wellness Center holds the fitness center and movement studio, the spa treatment rooms of the Koquina Sand Spa and Salon, and the resort pool and spa, with the Bahama Bar beside the water. Around them are the sports courts, the trails, the three dog parks and the course.
A few house rules are worth knowing before you visit. Pets are not allowed inside club facilities, though support and service animals are accommodated under fair housing rules. The golf course dress code is strict: collared shirts tucked in, tailored shorts no more than three inches above the knee, and no denim of any kind or color. Buyers coming from public golf are often surprised by that one.
The membership decides the golf, permanently. Confirm in writing which one a home carries before you get attached to it. Listing agents are usually clear about it, but it is too important to assume.
An improvement assessment runs through 2030. The board passed it on November 13, 2025. It is $452 a quarter and $8,050 in total, funding a rebuilt Bahama Bar, a larger outdoor bar, an expanded practice range and a four court air conditioned indoor pickleball complex. Some sellers pay the balance off at closing, which leaves the buyer owing nothing. Others leave the buyer to assume the payments. That is roughly eight thousand dollars sitting on the table and it varies from listing to listing, so ask.
The club sets a food minimum. $750 a year, for food only. Not alcohol and not the cafe and market. It is required of every resident and it is never waived. Anything you have not spent by around December 31 is charged to your account. Treat it as money you will spend at the club rather than as a fee.
A Community Development District covers the property. Esplanade sits inside the Flow Way Community Development District, which appears on the tax bill in two parts. More on that below.
If you want a golf cart, you need a garage. Privately owned carts are only allowed at homes with a private garage, because the cart has to be stored in it. No garage means no cart anywhere on the property. Club members may drive theirs on community roads only, never on the course or the cart paths.
What you pay the club. Assessments are billed quarterly, in advance. Every home pays a Club assessment and a Reserve assessment. Golf homes add a golf assessment. Single family homes add the landscape assessment for their lot width. The cost tool on this page gives the exact figure for any combination, straight from the club’s 2026 schedule.
The Community Development District. The operating part of the Flow Way CDD is $1,845 a year and it is the same for every home. The bond part depends on which construction phase the home is in. It runs from nothing at all up to about $4,000 a year, and 311 of the 1,184 homes carry none. This one has to be checked property by property, so ask for the seller’s tax bill and the CDD disclosure. The operating figure moves, too: it was $525 a year in 2022 and it is $1,845 now, because the district board sets it annually.
Paying off the district bond. An owner can pay their parcel’s remaining bond balance in one lump sum instead of carrying it on the tax bill for another twenty years. Two things about that are worth understanding. The payoff is not the annual charge multiplied by the years left. The annual payments include interest, so the lump sum comes in smaller than the arithmetic suggests. On one 52 foot lot here the bond runs $960.09 a year with nineteen years left. The payoff balance is $10,595.70. And paying it off does not end the CDD charge. The bond goes away; the $1,845 a year for district operations does not.
Two different assessments, one confusing phrase. When a listing says the special assessment is paid in full, ask which one. The club’s $8,050 improvement project and the district’s bond are separate things with separate payoffs, and a seller can settle one and leave the other running. Check the association estoppel for the club assessment and the district’s parcel search for the bond.
Buying and closing. After a home goes under contract the resale application goes to the club’s management office. The club does not review or approve new residents. The application is how management collects your information, and you make an appointment after closing to be set up as a member. Estoppels are requested through the club’s accounting department.
Who to call. The club and master association are on site at 8910 Torre Vista Lane. For a coach home or condominium, your neighborhood association is managed by either Cambridge or Sandcastle, and your listing agent should know which.
Schools. Collier County assigns schools by address, so check the district’s own lookup for a specific property rather than relying on a listing.

No. 839 of the 1,184 homes come with a golf membership.
The other 345 have a Club membership, which is a full club and sports membership without golf. Both use the same pools, courts, restaurants, fitness center and spa. The difference is the tee sheet.
No. A Club home cannot be upgraded to a Golf home.
Not by paying and not by waiting. The only way to get golf here is to buy a home that already has it. Owners without it can still play the course at guest rates, but they cannot book advance tee times. The club’s governing documents cap golf memberships at 850 and 839 are assessed for 2026, so the ceiling is close.
It depends on the membership, the home type and, for a single family home, the lot width.
In 2026 a coach or condo home with a Club membership pays $2,034.62 a quarter to the club. A single family home on a 52 foot lot with a golf membership pays $3,743.01. Coach and condo homes also pay a separate neighborhood association fee. The cost tool on this page covers every combination.
It is the Club Improvement Project assessment, running through the end of 2030.
The full amount is $8,050. The board passed it on November 13, 2025, and it funds a rebuilt Bahama Bar, a larger outdoor bar, an expanded practice range and a four court indoor pickleball complex. A seller can pay it off at closing, and some do, so ask whether the balance is settled before you write an offer.
Yes, the Flow Way Community Development District.
Every home pays $1,845 a year for district operations on the tax bill. Bond debt varies by construction phase and 311 of the 1,184 homes carry none, so it has to be checked property by property. Enter an address in the cost tool on this page and it will give you the exact district charge for that parcel.
$15,000 at closing, called the Working Fund Capital Contribution.
It is due on any purchase. The 50 percent rebate that appears on some paperwork is only for owners moving from one Esplanade home to another, and only if they sell the old home within twelve months and both homes were their personal residence. A buyer coming from outside pays the full $15,000.
Yes, with a thirty day minimum.
Coach and condo owners can lease five times a year, single family owners four. Paperwork goes to the neighborhood association at least four weeks ahead. During the lease your amenity access transfers to your tenant, so you cannot use the club while a tenant is in the home.
No. The community has no age restriction.
Year round residents, seasonal owners and tenants all live here, and the community was built out by Taylor Morrison between 2015 and 2022 without an age restriction.
It is the same thing as a Club membership.
Some paperwork calls the non golf membership a social or Social/Club membership. The club’s own community overview calls it a Club membership. They mean a full club and sports membership, with golf available at guest rates and no advance tee times.
Flood zones change from one block to the next, so the only answer that counts is the one for that exact address.
The zone affects both insurance cost and lender requirements, and two homes on the same street can sit in different ones. Check the FEMA flood zone for the address first, then get a current insurance quote before you make an offer.

Compare the right Esplanade homes.
We will tell you whether a home comes with a Golf or a Club membership, what the club bills for it, which association it sits in or how wide its lot is, what the district charges that specific parcel, and whether the $8,050 improvement assessment is settled, before you write an offer.
Price your Esplanade home within the right comparison set.
A home with golf and one without are not each other’s comparables. We narrow the analysis by membership, home type, association or lot width, view, condition and recent closings, so the asking price rests on sales that actually match your home.
We research the details that matter when you are comparing Southwest Florida homes and communities, from current market activity and what a home costs to own, to the rules and fees that can change the decision.
