Golf at Bay Colony Golf Club
A private 18-hole Robert von Hagge course, a 300-member cap, and no tee times in North Naples.
Bay Colony Golf Club is a private 18-hole championship course designed by Robert von Hagge at 9740 Bent Grass Bend in the Pelican Marsh area of North Naples. Membership is capped at 300 golf members, the club follows a no tee time policy, and the 75-home Estates at Bay Colony Golf Club surround the course.
Bay Colony Golf Club is one of the most exclusive golf addresses in North Naples. Gently rolling fairways, large greens guarded by bunkers, and water on many holes make the par-72 layout a real test, while the low membership cap keeps the course uncrowded.
Not the Same as Bay Colony in Pelican Bay
Bay Colony Golf Club is a separate private equity club in Pelican Marsh. It is not part of the gated beachfront Bay Colony community inside Pelican Bay, which has its own beach club and amenities, and a home purchase in either does not include golf membership.
