Heading down to Naples the first week of Jan and my wife and I are staying at the Leyly Flamingo & Mustang.

I played the Flamingo and really liked it, but not a big fan of the Mustang.

So far, I have a round booked at the Flamingo and Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club. The pro their told me I have to go out and play "Old Cork Screw" He said it will be private soon... http://www.oldcorkscrew.com

Any other courses I should play? My wife does not play golf so I'm looking at playing early in the morning if possible.

So far..

Flamingo
Old Cork Screw

Not really sure about Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club? Anyone play here?

Travel & Leisure Golf just published their Florida issue which might help--take a look there!

Naples bh & gc fine, and with the traffic that time of year, you wont be spending more time in traffic than on the course. But should definitely give old cork screw a whirl. My old stopping grounds. Ahh, Naples in January!


A place a little bit north of Naples in Bradenton called the Legacy at Lakewood Ranch is a great course. It maybe a little too far north for you but it is well worth the drive. I went their 2 years ago and it was fantastical. It was voted the best course in Southwest Florida a couple of years ago. CHeck it out.

Highly recommend Heritage Bay golf course. It's fairly new; think it opened about this time last year, but very, very nice. 27 holes. It's right off Immokalee Rd, just a little east of I-75. Here's the info that I have from a business card I picked up:

Phone: 239-353-2561

I played it when it first opened up while down there last Christmas. At that time, 18 of the 27 holes were opened and they were running it out of an RV. Course was fabulous. Played it again when I was down there in August and luckily got to play the other 9 holes that wasn't open originally and it was just as nice. Plan on playing it a couple of times when I'm down there again this Christmas.

Would tell you to enjoy the trip, but Naples in January? Pretty much a given that you will!

I've played Tiburon GC, it hosts the Greg Norman two man tournament which is played this week, it's a great facility with two courses. It will be pricey in January as will the other quality courses in the area.

I played 5 courses while in Fla. 2 were private so i dont think u can get in there. I can't reccomend the Legacy enough great course, palmer design. THe other i played was a muni LAke Venice. Stay away from this at all costs. Full of old people and close to a small airstrip. Also if you heard of a guy getting bit by a gator a while ago, that was the place. I played Calusa Lakes which was a private and i got in their cuz i was staying with people who are members there. The other two places where in Ft. Meyers cuz that is where my flights were. The first was Eagle Ridge a good value and recomended as a after flight tune up round if you are going to play some big places. The second was Miromar lakes, the other private course, which was not a good choice for a fisrt round cuz it is very hard. I got on there through a site called Teebone.com which i reccomend for your trip. I made a thread about it in golf talk and that explains it more there.

Well i hope i was some help mookie. Definatley try out the teebone thing.

    • As a geezer who remembers seeing the original Star Wars in theaters - this sim is pretty kewl.  Fantastic detail! 
    • Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.  
    • Tell me about it - shouldn’t have second guessed…
    • My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.
    • MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.
