Naples- Marco Island ranked Number 1 in Nation for Golf!
The Naples–Marco Island area is ranked No 1 nationally for its abundance of golf holes according to the report, Golf Facilities in the U.S. 2013, by the National Golf Foundation. Collier County planning records show there are 91 public, private and semi-private courses of which many are designed by top golf architects such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio and Robert von Hagge. In addition, several, including Wyndemere and Pelican Marsh, recently completed multimillon-dollar course and club renovations.
The terrific golf facilities have attracted three top national golf tours as well as golf related businesses and baby boomers buying real estate.
In 2009, Georgia-based Golf & Tennis Pro Shop opened its first Florida PGA Tour Superstore in Naples followed in 2010 by Texas-based GolfSmith, the country’s largest golf retailer, which opened its most technologically advanced and interactive superstore, Golf Xtreme in 2010 also in Naples.
The overall interest for real estate in the Naples-Marco Island area is surging and a large portion of those buyers are targeting golf properties. The baby boomers are planning their retirement now and they are buying second homes and much of the demand is for golf properties. They believe the timing is right with historically low prices and declining inventories, which is leading to prices going up.
