Why is Naples called the Golf Capital of the World?

Naples holds more golf holes per capita than any other city in the United States — with over 90 courses across Collier County serving a population that swells significantly during the winter season. The combination of year-round warm weather, flat terrain ideal for course design, and a concentration of high-net-worth residents who prioritize the golf lifestyle has made Naples a magnet for world-class golf course development. Courses here bear the signatures of Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, and Arthur Hills — making Naples a legitimate golf pilgrimage destination for serious players.

Do golf vacation rentals in Naples include course access?

It depends on the community. In bundled golf communities, golf course access is tied to the property, and vacation renters typically have access to the course as part of their stay. In equity and private club communities like Grey Oaks and Mediterra, course access for guests typically requires a temporary membership or guest fee arrangement through the club. When searching for a Naples golf vacation rental, contact us and tell us your specific course goals — we can match you to properties and communities where your access needs are clearly confirmed before you book.

What is the best time of year for a Naples golf vacation?

January through April is peak golf season in Naples — the courses are in excellent condition, the weather is perfect, and the social calendar of every major golf community is fully active. This is when competition for rental inventory and tee times is highest, so booking well in advance is essential for peak season golf vacations. Summer is actually an excellent time for serious golfers who want to play without the crowds — many courses offer significantly reduced rates from May through November, and the greens are often in exceptional condition. Morning rounds in summer, before the afternoon heat, can be some of the best golf Naples offers.

What is the price range for Naples golf vacation rentals?

Naples golf community vacation rental prices vary by community, property size, and season. Condominiums and coach homes in golf communities typically range from $4,000 to $8,000 per month during peak season. Single-family homes in established golf communities range from approximately $6,000 to $20,000 per month. Estate homes in premier private club communities like Grey Oaks and Mediterra can range from $15,000 to $40,000 or more per month during peak season.
