Pelican Landing Golf and Membership

The Nest is the private golf club within Pelican Landing in Bonita Springs, offering a dedicated golf experience anchored by two Tom Fazio-designed championship courses. For buyers who want golf within an established, amenity-rich coastal community, Pelican Landing presents a compelling combination of private club play and broader residential lifestyle benefits.

One of the key distinctions at Pelican Landing is that golf membership is not required for all residents. That flexibility appeals to buyers who want access to a beautifully maintained community and exceptional non-golf amenities, while still preserving the option to explore golf or social membership opportunities separately.

The Nest at Pelican Landing

The Nest is a private golf club located within Pelican Landing and centered around 36 holes of championship golf. The club’s Gator and Hurricane courses were designed by Tom Fazio and offer two distinct playing experiences within the community.

In addition to the courses themselves, members have access to practice facilities that support both casual play and more serious game improvement, including a grass driving range, putting greens, and short game areas.

Golf Within a Broader Lifestyle Community

Pelican Landing offers much more than golf alone. Residents also enjoy a wide amenity package that includes tennis, pickleball, bocce, a fitness center, sailing opportunities, a canoe and kayak park, and the community’s private island beach park on the Gulf of Mexico.

That wider lifestyle offering is a major part of Pelican Landing’s appeal, especially for buyers who want a private club option without making golf the only centerpiece of the community experience.
