What You’ll Find Living in The Vineyards

Life in The Vineyards centers around its private country club and resident amenities. Many start their mornings on one of the two championship golf courses or on the Har-Tru tennis courts. Afternoons might mean a workout in the 30,000+ sq ft wellness center, a swim in one of the resort pools, or a bike ride along shaded community paths. Evenings bring dinners at the clubhouse or neighborhood socials, where residents connect through bocce leagues, fitness classes, or interest groups. Located minutes from Physicians Regional Medical Center, Waterside Shops, and Gulf beaches, The Vineyards offers both convenience and community in a central Naples location.

What to Know About The Vineyards

The Vineyards offers more flexibility than Naples’ ultra-luxury clubs thanks to its optional, non-equity membership, making it appealing for buyers who want amenities without mandatory fees. Club members pay annual dues based on level of access, while non-members can still enjoy community pools, trails, and neighborhood amenities. Compared with Grey Oaks, The Vineyards offers a broader range of home types at lower price points. Against Lely Resort, it provides two private courses and a central location, though Lely’s bundled memberships can be more cost-efficient for frequent golfers. Seasonal traffic around Vineyards Boulevard and I-75 is worth noting, but for many, the location strikes an ideal balance of accessibility, amenities, and established neighborhood character.
